Currently reading chapter two of the long fanfic <a href = "http://www.fimfiction.net/story/122954/hail-to-the-king">Hail to the King. So far, I'm loving it. A LOT. Here's what I know so far:

Chapter one:

The story starts off with a human spirit describing his slow trip to the Heaven after dying in the human world. The cause of his death is unknown, however. But before he is about to reach the Heaven, a shadowy spirit of King Sombra denies the human soul of his entry to the Heaven, only because Sombra wants to touch the Heaven's pearly stair steps. The image of Heaven disappears as Sombra touches the stairs, and the soul screams out in fury. The human, meanwhile, falls to the shadowy void….

(Note: The story is written from the main character's point of view. The main character does not have a name yet, so I'll refer to him as the "main character".)

The main character wakes to find that he is reborn as King Sombra, but does not know about it until later in the story. He thinks everything he sees is some sort of dream and that he is in a coma…a really good coma or a lucid dream. He tests out his powers by using the dark crystals as a mode of transportation, approaches the Crystal Empire, and scares the townsfolk. Main character then tries to fix the situation by getting rid of the black crystal towers he created to ride his way to the Crystal Empire, only to shatter the crystal to a thousand pieces and ruin the Empire.

Shining Armor and Princess Cadance find that Sombra has returned. They try to stop Sombra, unaware of the fact that the real Sombra is dead and that the Sombra they see is actually a human being. They use the Crystal Heart to try and kill the main character, only to find that it doesn't work. Instead, it makes the main character all shiny and happy inside. The ponies stare at the main character in utter shock as the main character tries to explain who the heck Sombra is and why he is being attacked for no reason.

Chapter two:

Main character is placed inside a crystal prison with a muzzle around his mouth and a straitjacket to restrain him. He tries to get Shining and Cadance's attention, but to no avail. He finally succeeds when he asks if Cadance is his daughter. Shining and Cadance think Sombra is behaving strangely, so Cadance decides to interrogate him using a lie detector jewel while Shining tries to calm the group.

While Shining is doing his job, Cadance interrogates the main character and gets crazy answers out of him, especially about the part where the main character thinks he and Shining have a Darth and Luke relationship. The main character explains everything to Cadance while the lie detector jewel confirms that many of the stuff the character is saying is true. Cadance is bombarded by all of the information that the main character is spilling out of his mouth.

After the interrogation, Cadance tells Shining that she had an awful time with the (fake) Sombra and that Sombra has completely lost his mind. She says that Sombra claims to be a human being and that magic doesn't exist in the world he is coming from, which is true, much to Cadance's chagrin. She has no idea what human beings are, why magic doesn't exist in their world, and if there really is a human world. They laugh about all the "silly stuff" that the main character was talking about, until a crystal pony tells them Sombra was trying to escape.

(There's still more in the second chapter, but that's all I know for now.)

MORE MAP!

Main character breaks out of his cell out of boredom. One guard runs away to get help, while the other stays behind and does not do anything other than stare at (fake) Sombra. Main character breaks through the walls with his magic beam powers and yells "FREEEEEEDOM!!!!!" to the open air, but turns around because he forgot his cape and armor.

Shining Armor and Cadance find the main character trying to fit the armor inside his body. He is quickly encased around in a magical bubble as he tries to escape again after realizing that he can go into his shadow form. He tries to break the bubble with his magic, but the bubble does not budge. Instead, the magic causes the whole area around it to become filled with smoke (which is made up of his now shadowy body), blinding the main character and making him shout random stuff into the air ("WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS?!" "Did I just inhale part of myself?", etc.)

Cadance said that they sent a letter to Celestia and Luna, but they won't arrive until a few hours later. So, they're stuck with a guy who is not really King Sombra but a hyper-evolved, futuristic, thunder-monkey…I mean, a human from some world they don't know whether it exists or not.

Oh yeah. And the lie detector jewel? I like that thing. That thing should appear in the later parts of the fanfic. I'm reading the interrogation part again, because that part was freaking hilarious.

Chapter 1:

-Main character is some sort of mutant-humanoid creature. He hunts down and kills a large pig in White Tail Woods.
-Meanwhile, Carrot Top trots through the Woods and finds the predator hunting down the pig. The story describes the predator (the main character) as:
Five to six feet tall. Gorilla-like look, except it was bald, gaunt, and sickly looking. Pallid flesh with a slimy sheen to it. Very thin. Blade-like spikes burst from its back along its spine. Long, spindly limbs ended in a five-toed claw, with its fore claws being much longer and sharper-looking. (Partially taken from the story)
The main character also had "lidless eyes which were pools of ebony; no nose, rather just a hole in the center of its face; and had lip-less maw which sported two rows of interlocking, inch long fangs." (also partially taken from the story)
-Carrot Top tries to run away, but runs into a tree right behind her!
-Main character picks up Carrot Top who knocked herself out by that tree and out of the woods.

Chapter 2:

-A stallion named Written Script trots out of the restaurant, thinking about his surprise plans with Carrot Top. He hears a howl from White Tail Woods.
-The time is mid-afternoon, according to the story. The main character has lived close to the Woods for the past six months. He sets Carrot Top down in the middle of the clearing and out of the Woods, but realizes that his hands are covered in pig's blood, which has ended up on the mare.
-"Alien abduction"? Hmm…. So this main character guy WAS taken away by the aliens after all!
-It turns out that the main character was the one who made the howling sound. Or specifically, a howl-shrieking sound. Then the main character runs back into the woods.
-Written Script sees Carrot Top lying in front of the Woods. Rainbow Dash suddenly appears and suggests that they should take Carrot Top to the Ponyville Hospital. That noise the main character has made allowed the residents of the town to recognize his presence….

Chapter 3:

-Main character returns to his home, which is a cave 15 feet above the ground. He decides to fish after a scavenger stole his previous meal.
-Carrot Top is lying down in the hospital with Written Script and Caramel watching her. She wakes up and shares a conversation about the anniversary that Written had planned for tonight and the monster in the Woods. Written then says that Twilight wants to talk to Carrot after she woke up.
-Scene cuts Canterlot Castle, with Celestia looking at reports about an alien craft crashing near the White Tail Woods six months ago. The survivors of the crash were quadrupedal insectoid aliens and ape-like creatures wearing collars and devices inserted into the creatures' brain. Only a few remained before they all eventually died.
-Luna enters Celestia's room and tells her to lower the sun and go to sleep, because Tia had been up multiple days without sleep while poring over reports about the crash site. Celestia does what Luna tells her after receiving the letter from Twilight.
-Luna reads the letter that Twilight sent to her older sister and quickly tells the Solar Guards to gather the Night Guards to find the mysterious creature living in the Woods.

Chapter 4: (This is the part where it gets REALLY interesting, and the part that fully gripped my attention)

-Main character catches a fish in the river and returns home. He hears something approaching.
-Luna is led by a couple of Night Guards who are trying to find the mysterious creature. Luna flies away to let the Guards investigate.
-The Guards find the cave filled with animal hides but do not find the creature in there. Luna is told that the cave is clear. The princess tells the ponies to continue investigating while she tries to reach for the creature's dreams and see what they are like.
-Luna feels a ton of emotions-pain, sadness, loss, guilt-within the dreamscape, which are most likely belonging to the main character. Something is terribly wrong….

Chapter 5:

-Main character is spotted by the Night Guards. He turns and runs away from his lair and abandons his meal. We also know that the language the character speaks and the language the ponies speak are different, though the story translates them both into English.
-Night Guards find out that the main character has been collecting animal hides to make clothing, but has no idea how to do so.
-Main character is still running away from the two unicorn ponies chasing after him. He manages to cut the chase with a distraction and makes his escape by swimming across a river and emerging on the other side.
-Main character is cold, hungry, and sorrowful, afraid that he would die alone and that he would never see his girlfriend or his real home ever again. He falls asleep afterwards.
-Luna rejoins the Guards who failed to catch the main character. She realizes that the nightmare she was analyzing is slowly fading, because the main character is slowly losing consciousness and strength! Hurry, Luna!

To get you guys an idea of how the main character looks like, think of The Rake. A lot of people on Fimfiction mentioned this when they were trying to visualize how the main character looked like.

Chapter 6:

-We find out that the main character is having a nightmare, and wow! It's quite disturbing! It shows the main character's experiences when he was captured by Them (the aliens are referred to as "They", "Them", etc. with the first letter capitalized).
-Looks like the aliens have not only turned the main character into a mutant, but they also made him a monster who will kill anything on sight.
-The nightmare dissipates, and Luna arrives to approach the main character. She comforts him and tells him to go to sleep.
-The ponies have arrived just in time to save the guy from possible death from hypothermia. Luna explains the stuff that she saw in the nightmare and that the main character sees himself as a monster. He is afraid that if he was captured, he would be killed and dissected for experimentation.
-Luna decides that they should take him back to his cave instead of Canterlot directly (smart thinking there, Luna!) since he does not trust the ponies completely. They also leave him with cooking tools and a fish fillet for food, and a ladder to allow the main character an easier access to his cave.
-Along with the tools described above, main character also finds a note with a caricature of him and two winged unicorns. The figure in the note seems to be shaking the hoof of the larger one.

Chapter 7:

-What's this? An extra-terrestrial being wandering the space? It seemed to receive a transmission signal, but we don't know much about its purpose of the story yet….
-Back in Canterlot Castle, Luna tells Celestia about the creature living near White Tail Woods and the events that took place yesterday. She also said that the creature she was one of the ape-creatures that came from the spaceship six months ago.
-Carrot meets Written. They both talk about the strange stuff that happened yesterday. They both think the creature is sapient and decide to give present the creature with a box of cupcakes to see how it would respond.
-Main character smells baked goods from far away, comes out of his lair, and walks through the Woods to see where the scent of the baked goods are coming from.
-Written and Carrot walk through the Woods. They encounter the creature, who is cautiously approaching them.

Chapter 8:

-Carrot Top offers the main character a box of cupcakes while the Night Guards watch the main character from above. The cupcakes have pictures that show Pinkie Pie greeting the main character and her becoming friends (or something like that) in a chronological order.
-Main character offers the two ponies a pair of cupcakes as a sign of thanks. He also draws a picture of himself giving a thumbs up to them as well. Afterwards, he draws a picture of himself and a pony in front of him, with a pony saying something.
-Written tries to translate what the text in the picture says. The translation is: "I do not understand what you are speaking to me." (Keep in mind that human language and pony language in the fanfic are different)
-Next thing the main character writes translates as: "My name is Defender of People." It's actually four letters which comprises of the main character's name. The two ponies decide to call him "Defender".
-Back in Canterlot Castle, Luna tells more stuff about the creature to Celestia and how it would refuse to attack others due to its disturbing past.
-At Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie prepares a welcome party for the main character when he arrives.
-According to the author, the main character's name is Alexander (Alex for short), which means "Defender of Man".

Chapter 9: (This chapter gave me feels of joy)

-More translations from Alex to pony language: "My shape not shape", and "I monster, not monster. Real monster bring me here."
-Night Guard from above flies down and tells the two ponies that the princesses would like to speak to them.
-Evening approaches, and Alex is back in his lair and has finally learned how to make pants! And he wears them, because he doesn't like to walk around naked. He also stares at the tiny pictures on the cupcakes, thinking it must be some sort of message about a party invitation.
-At Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie Pie has invited other ponies to the party, but everypony except Pinkie is confused at what is going on. Everypony hears a scream, and we see that Mrs. Cake had seen the monster (Alex) running off to another direction.
-Alex runs into an alley and bumps into Pinkie Pie who tries to hug him. Alex continues running away, with doubt filling his mind.
-Pinkie finally finds Alex, but she looks sad. She finally approaches him and hugs him at last. Alex weeps tears of joy while the other ponies watch him. Fluttershy joins in the embrace, and the chapter ends with Alex hugging both ponies at the same time.

Chapter 10:

-Carrot Top and Written Script arrive in Canterlot, but Written is overwhelmed by the princesses' presence and passes out. He is carried out to recover while Carrot explains what happened in the previous few chapters.
-Alex looks around and sees that the mane six has approached. Rainbow Dash and Applejack look at him distrustingly; Rarity looks at Alex's pants in disgust; Twilight looks at Alex curiously.
-Twilight casts a translation spell to Alex. It works, sort of…. To the ponies, it seems as if Alex is speaking in various grumbles and screams. His voice has been distorted by the aliens, too….
-Alex agrees to have a small talk with the mane six after Twilight uses the spell on her friends. Conversation involves Alex saying stuff about how he was afraid to reach out to the citizens of Ponyville and that he had a strong desire to live until fate arrived.
-Conversation goes pretty well over all, and Alex goes back to his lair afterwards, leaving the mane six to wonder what happened to him in the past. Also, the mane six calls him "Defender" as well.

In these chapters, Alex gives nicknames to various ponies based on their cutie marks. The names are:

Carrot Top- Carrot
Written Script- Scroll
Pinkie Pie- The Pink One
Fluttershy- Butterfly
Twilight Sparkle- Star

Chapter 11:

-Carrot Top leaves after talking with the princesses. A Night Guard appears, saying that Alex has been injured on his way back to his lair!
-Alex settles in the hot spring inside his cave to relax after chatting with the ponies. He wakes up and finds that something feels off….
-Oh no! Alex is being attacked by the aliens who have abducted him! Alex strikes back and kills some of them. One of them manages to fire a laser gun at Alex's back, and he goes tumbling out of his lair and into the creek below due to the impact.
-The alien who shot him is killed by one Night Guard/bat pony. Another alien is killed by another Night Guard. The Guards retrieve Alex and take him to the infirmary.
-Back at Canterlot Castle, the Guards describe the injury as if Alex was hit by Dragonfire. The princesses tell the Guards to stay on high alert.

Chapter 12:

-We find out that the alien race that kidnapped Alex is known as the "Krin". The characters introduced in this chapter are: Lieutenant Talian, Captain Hazalk, Sergeant Inaz, and Agent Ilisk.
-The Captain seems to be ordering things around to find Alex (known as Subject-38 to them), while the others communicate with the captain and report information to him. Apparently, this scene takes place in Chapter 11, where the aliens attempt to capture Alex.
-Unfortunately, the captain seems to be hesitant with the plan after looking at the information on Alex….
-We see the attack that took place on in Chapter 11 from the alien's point of view. Sergeant and the rest of his team are eventually killed by Alex and the ponies who rescue him. Hazalk is shocked at the outcome while Talian is wondering what in the world happened. Captain decides to conduct a meeting with Ilisk afterwards.
-Back in Canterlot Castle, the doctors and nurses are taking care of Alex. To their surprise, they discover two DNA samples inside his body.
-The princesses arrive in the infirmary and tell them to use a regenerative spell to heal Alex.

Chapter 13:

-Ah-ha! Captain Hazalk WAS ordered to capture Alex upon the agent's request. He questions Agent Ilisk about the purpose of the mission and why the agent did not warn the captain about Alex's sapience.
-Ilisk explains that Subject-38 and other mutants were created to become the ultimate killing machines. The experiment was not a success due to the mutants unwilling to obey the aliens' commands. Seeing how Ilisk is keeping his plans a secret to the alien government, Hazalk arrests him for "war crimes and and for being an accomplice to this entire affair."
-Ilisk shoots Hazalk while the captain has his back turned towards him. The agent, however, is carried away by the captain's troops who have eavesdropped the whole conversation. The captain also tells his troops to get the medical staff ready to treat his wounds.
-Alex wakes up a couple of times while the regeneration spell is being used on him. The third time he wakes up, the procedure is nearly done, but he is strapped to the bed. Alex has returned mostly to his normal human self, but his vision and hearing are dim.
-Princess Luna enters the infirmary and uses the translation spell to explain that when the ponies used the regeneration spell on him, some of the body parts on Alex were foreign and did not respond to the spell. So, they had to cut away some of the mutant body parts and replace them with another body part. They also removed the alien DNA from his body, too, but the procedure's not completely done yet.
-During the process, however, his own body started to attack the foreign limbs on his body, especially his arms and legs. The procedure could kill him if things go wrong, but Alex is thankful that he is slowing returning to normal.
-Both Luna and Alex exchange their names, and Alex is able to smile after many long months (his facial muscles have returned thanks to the spell).

Chapter 14:

-Luna exits and tells a nurse that Alex is doing fine.
-Celestia deals with Blueblood who is nagging about tax exceptions. After the annoying prince is sent away, Luna enters and tells Celestia about her conversation with Alex.
-Luna tells Celestia about the world that Alex lives in based on the limited information she got from Alex. Celestia is quite surprised about the information along with Luna. They are hopeful that Alex will do fine once the procedure is over.
-Back at Captain Hazalk's ship, Hazalk proposes that he wants Alex to return to his homeland. He also says that if another known alien race (the Quzin) was to appear, they will have to tell them everything that happened, including Ilisk's conspirations to create killing machines out of innocent human beings.
-Meanwhile, Ilisk seems to be plotting something….

Epilogue:

-Assuming this is the Quzin race, the characters introduced here are: Priestess Akitesh and Jedon (Akitesh's Second Voice/advisor).
-Jedon has said that a Krin science vessel has "issued a distress signal from near the planet Euti," also known as Equestria. Apparently, they're doing it after the failed mission to capture Subject-38/Alex.
-Akitesh looks at her datapad and sees two forms: the large bipedal creatures (not sure if its the Krin…) and the lighter forms (the human-mutants) hunting some alien monsters. The image then changes and shows a wrecked ship with the Krin and the human-mutants crawling out of it. She sees one of the figures crawling out of the ship and sees the figure's face before Jedon snaps her back into attention.
-Akitesh tells Jedon that she needs to tell the crew about what she saw.

So from what I know, the Krin, which are the alien race who were responsible for the kidnapping of the human race, are not completely evil. Agent Ilisk seems to be the main antagonist of the arc, while Captain Hazalk is doing what the agent is telling him to do until he finds out about the truth behind Ilisk's plans. We do not know much about the Quzin, though.

-Main character (name is Conrad) walks and waits on a sidewalk to cross the street.
-A kid emerges and bounces his ball in the middle of the road. The kid chases after the ball, and Conrad grabs the kid and throws him back at his mom. He gets crushed by a speeding semi-truck afterwards.
-In the dark void, Conrad hears a couple of voices speaking something about Lord Tirek….
-The main character wakes up as Lord Tirek and sees a changeling darting out of view. He hears voices belonging to a pony army, who tries to get away after seeing the main character/Tirek.
-Lieutenant Skyflower, one of the ponies in the cavalry, seems to have other plans, as she tells the army to attack. No one does, and Conrad taunts Skyflower.
-Skyflower attacks by firing magic at her, but Conrad blocks the attack and eats the magic that she used at the main character. Skyflower charges at the main character, but he grabs her and snaps his fingers to make Skyflower wince at the loud sound.
-An army of changelings appear, and the ponies run away. Conrad decides to follow the changelings to the hive and let them take care of Skyflower.

-It's time for bed, and Luna and the main character have a fight between each other. And it's because they're trying to claim the bigger bed.
-Main character counters Luna's attacks by using logic about the Equestrian government. Luna attacks back with words and pillows. Then she seizes the mattress and a bunch of pillows around her and chucks them at fake Sombra. Cadance is unable to sleep in the other room due to the loud noise.
-Luna has won the pillow fight and has taken all of the pillows and most of the mattresses from the main character. She then takes Sombra's cape since she thinks it also counts as the "spoils of war".
-And then Luna sees Sombra's flank and his cutie mark. Luna dashes out of the room and into Cadance's room to retrieve the other princess. Both Cadance and Luna sneak in front of the room, cast a sleep-inducing spell on fake Sombra (which causes him to fall off of his bed to the ground asleep), and walk inside.
-Fake Sombra's cutie mark as described in the fanfic: "a snowflake-like symbol of the Crystal Empire sitting within the former tyrant’s crown. The crown’s curved spikes framed the Empire’s symbol like the setting of a diamond ring. Behind it, those purple, misty streams that poured from main character's eyes flowed around and astride the mark like the banners of medieval heraldry."
-Unable to decipher the meaning behind the cutie mark, Cadance leaves while Luna enters fake Sombra's dreams.
-Luna sees a bunch of tall buildings/skyscrapers and a large green and bronze statue (The Spirit of Detroit) inside the dream. Then she stares at a stone statue of a large fist…and gets hit by a car while standing in the middle the street. Luna is sent flying into the air and lands face-first into the statue of the fist. Luna is ejected from the dream, confused at what she saw.
-Celestia wakes up and finds a letter written by Sombra in her personal mailbox. It's an apology letter from him. She also finds a bouquet next to the letter. Celestia is skeptical but finds the letter "promising".
-Shining Armor wakes up and sings (Yes, this is not a joke) and wakes his wife up after cutting his song short.
-Breakfast time! And it's not a good one. As soon as fake Sombra starts talking about what happened last night (he heard the two princesses approach him), Cadance leaves with Luna watching him all day.
-Main character enters Cadance's workroom and finds a long list of papers in the "to do" pile. He finds the paper listing the properties damaged in the Crystal Empire, which was caused by the main character himself in chapter 1. Fake Sombra is utterly displeased at the report and decides to fix it. After much convincing, Luna complies, but gives Sombra a warning to not hurt anypony out there.
-Cadance returns to her workroom and finds out that Sombra and Luna are out fixing the city. Both Cadance and Shining panic, thinking of the possible bad events that may occur with Luna and Sombra wandering outside. They both try and call for help.
-Luna and Sombra walk around the city, with the crystal ponies pleased and frightened at the same time. Sombra mentions briefly about running someone over in his dream (which happened to be Luna!). Meanwhile, Shining Armor gets his troops ready to capture Sombra.
-Luna and Sombra approach a house and enter it, only to find that the house contains an effigy of Sombra along with torches, gallows, and…uh-oh. The crystal pony chases fake Sombra around the house until he summons up a black crystal to partially cover the room's entrance.
-Luna forces the crystal pony and fake Sombra to get along. Both of them oblige, but Sombra is literally kicked out of the house afterwards. He lands in the middle of the crowd of crystal ponies. One of them kicks a ball at him (it was the same filly who did that to him in chapter 1), and fake Sombra pretends that he is defeated by the filly. The filly, whose name is Glass Slipper, points at Sombra's cutie mark curiously.
-Main character is confused and stares at his cutie mark. All but one of the ponies from the crowd scatter, which is Glass Slipper's father. He says that Sombra is acting odd. We found out that the stallion's name is Crystal Arrow. He says that his house was destroyed by the main character's mishaps in chapter 1. Fake Sombra decides to fix all of that.
-The group reaches Crystal Arrow's destroyed home. Sombra sends off Slipper to let her play with her friends at another house. Arrow, Luna, and fake Sombra climbs up the stairs. Fake Sombra finds something interesting about climbing up and down the stairs.
-Luna demonstrates on how to fix the house using dark magic. Apparently, Luna knows how to use both regular and dark magic, though she feels pain while using dark magic. Sombra succeeds after watching the demonstration, but ends up destroying one of the pieces due to spell overload. Luna gets stuck on the wall by the crystal pieces embedded in her mane and tail.
-Luna tries to free herself, but one of the crystal pieces knock over a jack supporting the roof. The whole thing collapses right on top of Luna!
-The other two ponies find out that Luna is still alive. The ceiling and the walls around them finally collapse, however. Crystal Arrow leaves his house for safety while Sombra muses over the mistake he caused.
-Crystal Arrow tells the message to the first guard he found rather than to Shining Armor. The message gets mixed up as it is relayed to Shining Armor and Cadance. This does not look good for fake Sombra….
-Fake Sombra tries to free Luna, but the guards find him! Main character says that he can fix this situation, and he frees Luna…by breaking the crystal wall that she is stuck on. And he throws her down a flight of stairs! OUCH!!!
-The guards angrily charge at Sombra, and he dodges the attack…by jumping out of the second-story window! DOUBLE OUCH!!!
-Fake Sombra continues to runs away from the guards. A Flugelhorn sounds, alerting Shining and Cadance. Both of them approach Arrow's ruined house and find an unconscious Luna lying in the house. Cadance tells Shining to take Luna back to the palace while she will find Sombra herself.
-Main character runs away, cursing his luck. He unintelligently hides inside a dumpster and gets spotted when he gets out of it a moment later. He continues to run away past the guards who blow the flugelhorn to alert the princess.
-Shining Armor carries Luna back to the palace, who seems to be fine and dazed aside from some obvious injuries.
-Fake Sombra uses his smoke-magic to float up above the air and gives out a speech to tell everyone that he is not evil and that he wants to help.
-“All eyes on me!" “From within your homes, from behind your windows, watch! I’ll prove to all of you that I am NOT EVIL!”
-“I! AM! HELPING!"
-He uses dark magic to repair Crystal Arrow's house. But that's not all he does.
-“LOOK AT ME! Look at me straight in the eyes! I want you to KNOW what I have done this day!”
-And he repairs all of the houses in the Crystal Empire. The main character then tells everyone to rejoice at his works as he slowly returns to his normal form.
-Fake Sombra looks around in confusion and realized that dark magic made him mad while he was fixing the city. He gets arrested by the guards again and is sent back to the palace…before Cadance zooms down from above and tackles the main character.
-Luna wakes up from the hospital and tells Shining that her injury was due to an accident. Shining asked why Luna didn't use her teleportation magic to herself out of the wall. Luna facehoofs and hits the huge lump on her head.
-Enter Cadance, who is carrying the captured Sombra. She hurls it at Shining and furiously stomps her way back to her workroom. Looks like all of that stress she had to deal with throughout the story has taken a huge toll on her.
-Luna, who seems to have mostly recovered from her injuries, leaves the matters in Shining and Cadance's hooves.
