The Resurrection of Sombra (After War: Ninpony 3)

Nora was busy working with her new friend, Rose Painter, of setting new traps and hiding spots. During the many months, she did more missions, sometimes with Rose as her partner, due to her small size. One time, she went back to the Militia base, only to see Umbra so enraged, she went into her "Bloody Messor" mode. She ran to warn the Commander, Aerial Strike, and she happen to see Razor and Aurora. After that, she went back to the villiage, without Sam. After all of that, it would understandable for Nora to be resting, but she was busy with her training.

"Jeez, Nora. Still training?" a familiar mare voice said.

"I have to, Tsuku." Nora sighed.

Tsukuyomi, another Ninpony mare, sighed, "You never seem to stop training."

Nora giggled, "I know."

Then a young colt appeared before them, "Nora, Supper's done."

"Coming." then Nora disappears.

"Again!" the colt growled, "Can't she return home like a normal pony once in awhile!?"

"You know how she is, Junior."

"Yeah, I know." then he ran back home.

They had Mochi with Red Beans in it. It wasn't one of Nora's favorites, but she does like it. Later that night, when she was supposed to be sleeping, Nora was in a bush nearby Lightning's window. Lightning was singing gentle songs to her baby, Sakura Urai. Soon, she heard a male voice from the room. It was Sam Urai Senior.

"Sam." Lightning smiled, as she hugged him, "I missed you so much. Where have you been? I was worried sick."

"I was helping my new team in the EWO." Sam smiled, "That's why I was late getting back. I also had to chat with Winter about Alucardia. Alucardia is currently in our Dungeon and trying to convice her to join us."

"She won't join you. You know how stubborn she is."

"We have an alternative, that we could do, or if she join us, we won't." Sam smiled, then kissed her, "What about you? What have you decided?"

Lightning lowered her head, before looking up at him, with a smile, "I'm your wife, Sam. I'll stay by your side no matter what. I also want to make sure my, no I mean Our, Children to stay alive. So, all five Urais are EWO members now."

"That's wonderful news, my dear." Sam sat onto their bed, "What about the Hasunohanas?"

"Tsukuyomi refuses, and even threaten to take Ishiya to the Militia to make sure that he's raised up properly." Lightning sighed, "I'm more concerned about Nora. The Militia is her life. It is all she know and all she loves. Her coltfriend is an EWO, and she still sided with the Militia."

"She'll join or we'll have no choice but to kill her."

Lightning sighed, "Forgive me, Queen Midnight, but this is whom I am now.", then she sat beside Sam, allowing him to hug her.

Nora, shocked by the news, remained in place, so she could gathered more information. It wasn't until the following morning did she left that spot.

While she was having breakfast, in her mind, Nora thought, "I'm eating breakfast with my family, as well as the enemy. Am I sane or going insane?"

The moment she was finished, a scroll appeared in front of her. She grabbed it and teleported back to her room, to read it. She was ordered to the Village Elder's room, immediately. Nora quickly put on her Shinobi uniform. Rose slide into one of the many pockets, before Nora teleported to the room.

"Karoi-chan, I am glad that you are making a lot of progress. You might have what it take to become a Chunin."

"Arigato, Denka." Nora smiled within her mask.

"I have a mission for you. I was notified that the Royals in the Crystal Empire is in desprite need of help, as the EWO had taken over the castle."

"That's nearby the EWO's main base, Ma'am."

"It is. Do use absolute caution and stealth on this one, Karoi Kunaimaru."

"Hai, Denka." Nora said, confidently, "I shall."

"Dismiss!"

Nora teleported out of the room and village. She continued to fly in the clouds, to prevent being spotted. Within a few hours, she saw the Crystal Empire. She landed and spin dry herself dry. Rose, on the other hoof, fell deeper into Nora's pocket, out of dizziness. Nora made herself invisible as she glided up onto one of the roofs. As she looked in, she could see the two Crystal Royals, sitting on their thrones, glaring at Cal, Winter, Sam, an android-pony, among others. Seperate from the group, was a group of thirteen unicorn colts, in a form of a circle. One of the thirteen was in the center, with one hoof on a metal box.

"Whatever you are planning, Cal, it won't work!" Cadence growled.

"Oh, dear Mi Amore Cadenza, my plan will work, as you see, I managed to gathered all the required materials needed to bring the Militia's doom, while I was still in the Militia."

Then two more unicorns approached the group, they held a pot in between them. They were wearing Crystal Empire Royal Guard uniforms. Sam opened the pot and pulled out the Crystal Heart. He smiled and placed the Heart onto the box.

"One last chance, Your Majesities, Surrender your crowns and abricate, or suffer."

"NEVER!" Shining Armour roared.

Cal shrugged, "Your move. It was a bad one.", then he looked at the thirteen Unicorns, "Do it."

"Yes, Sir." the lead Colt said, then he opened up a book, "Channel your Magic!"

All thirteen start channeling their magic into a center focal point.

"Dreadful darkness, hear our cry. Bring back one who cannot die. Let the King who perished here. Live again and re-appear!" the thirteen unicorns chanted at the same time.

The Crystal Heart floated up into the orb, as well as the contants of the box, which had the pieces of Sombra. The orb grew darker and the unicorns collasped. The orb landed, softly onto the ground, before dissappating. There stood, where the orb was, was a fully-armoured male alicorn with glowing eyes and a Crimson-red horn. Cadence's reaction was immediate.

"Sombra." Cadence's normal pink color was looking more bleached.

Sombra chuckled, "Hello, my dear. Did you missed me?"

Winter was frightened of  the male Demon-Alicorn standing nearby her. Nora, whom was watching from a safe distance, was also afraid, but she had to react. She send a Shadow Double down to the Throne room. When they saw it, Sam sighed, as he know the Ninpony.

"Nora, stand down."

"Never, Uncle."

"Bring her in." Sam ordered.

In a rollable cage, with a portable spotlight shining onto the creature within it. Nora looked at it and was angry, as the creature within the cage is her Mother.

"How could you? You made Auntie betray our Village. Then you try to make her," points at Alucardia, "Whom I am guessing is my own Mother, to join your group."

Alucardia looked up, and upon seeing Nora, smiles, then thought, "That's my little Ninpony.", before putting her head back down.

"The Militia will fall soon, Nora. Just accept it."

"Never, Uncle." Then she created two more to escape with the Royals, while attacking Sombra.

The moment Sombra shot at the Double, the other two were gone. The real Nora grabbed them, when they appeared on the roof and quickly got them out of the Crystal Empire for the main Militia Base. Sombra huffed, but sat down in the Throne that was Shining's.

"Who is that mare?" Sombra asked.

Sam pulled Alucardia out of the cage, and placed her on the floor close to Sombra, "She is Alucardia Messor, daughter of Queen Midnight Tempest of the Heartlands, Grandaughter of Princess Luna of Canterlot."

"Luna? That's interesting." Sombra smiled, "Which means that this Alucardia is quite special as well."

"She was a former Assassin. The Ninpony that was here is her daughter. Her other daughter is more Demon-pony then the Ninpony daughter."

"Hm." Sombra smiled, "Please place her on the throne beside me, if you would mind."

"Of course." Sam carried Alucardia over to Cadence's Throne and placed her on it.

Alucardia grabbed a knife and tried to stab Sombra, but was easily deflected, due to her being exhaulsted from the light.

"As you can see, super bright lights, like Spotlights, affect her."

Sombra created a Tiara out of thin air, and it was filled with dark energy. He smiled at her with a toothy grin.

"Would you care to be my Queen, my dear?"

"I-rather-die-then-to-submit-to-you." she huffed.

Sombra shooked his head, "This isn't for a debate."

"If you make her your Queen, would you support the Equestrian World Order against the Militia and their allies, the Princesses?" Cal asked.

"Yes, I would offer you support. In turn, you support my rule of the Crystal Empire."

"Deal." Cal smiled.

Sombra placed the Tiara onto Alucardia's head. She tried to resist its influence for a good two minutes, before she fell onto the floor. Soon, she stood up and sat back into the Throne. She opened her eyes, and they were the same as Sombra's.

"How are you feeling?" Sombra asked.

"Perfect, thanks to you, My King." Alucardia smiled.

Sombra returned a smile, happy to have somepony to be his Queen and loyal aid. Meanwhile, Nora was in Aerial's Office, debriefing her on the situation.

"So, Sombra has finally been resurrected. We had failed on that front. First the EWO, then this Invisible armoured group, now Sombra. It seems like the world is going into Chaos. It'll be a Second Dark Ages soon, but this feel more like a fast-approaching Apocolypse." Aerial sighed.

Raven rubbed her daughter's back, "Everything will be alright, Aerial. I don't know how, but everything will be alright."

Rose popped her head out of the pocket, "Hey, Nora!"

"Yeah, Rose?"

"Because many of us, Miniture Unicorns, had created a magical message system, just in case, I just got a Red-Alert." Rose trying to sound calm, "There's massive fighting and fire at the Village. As far as they could tell, the Village Elder is dead, as well as many Genins and Trainees."

"What!?" Nora looked up, "Ma'am?"

"Since it's your village, Go."

"Right." Then she poofs out of the room.

Nora continued to run towards the Village. Upon arriving, the only survivors she could see were the Borrow-Ponies whom she had rescued and brought to the village. After putting out the fire, she went through each building, counting the dead. No ponies in the Urai household, as to be expected. She was able to recovered all of her belongings. Nearly every household afterwards had causalities. Whole families were slained. Nora, as much as she tried to control herself, she was beginning to cry.

The remaining household was the Hasunohana household. She walked inside and saw, in front of her, the degutted remains of Rairakko Hasunohana. Unable to control herself, she ran through the house to Tsukuyomi's room, no one. Then she ran to the Nursery. She slammed open the door and saw the crib empty. She saw a lump on the floor. She walked closer to it and remove the blanket off of the head. It was Tsukuyomi, and she was dead. Nora dropped to her knees, bawling. Suddenly, she felt a hoof on her face. Nora opened her eyes to see Tsukuyomi looking at her.

"AHH!!!" Nora jumped into the wall, unleashing the world's loudest, bone-chilling, blood-curling scream, ever.

"I'm alive, just barely. I'm not a walking corpse." Tsukuyomi smiled, "I might've smelled like one. A special technique I have kept hidden, just in case."

Nora hugged her, "I'm so happy that you are alive!"

"Not only me." then Tsuku poked, gently, Ishiya's stomach and he woke up, crying, "I did the same thing, just in case, to him, so they thought that he was also dead or wasn't even here."

"We have a whole village to bury. Recover whatever you can and let's get to work."

"Right."

It took all day for them to recover any item Tsukuyomi wanted from her house, then they went to burying the dead. They did their best to give the Village Elder the respectful burial that somepony of her position deserves. Nora grabbed a Chunin scarf and wrapped it around her own neck. Before they buried Rairakko, Tsukuyomi kissed her cheek.

"I vow to always protect Ishiya to my dying breath, Mother." Tsukuyomi glared at the sky, "And no matter what, I will live up to your expectations.", then she looked back down and at Nora, "I will also follow Chunin Karoi Kunaimaru's every command."

"I assumed that I would've be made a Chunin eventually after this mission, but with the village destroyed, we need a Ninpony whom is in charge." Nora then looked at the coffin, "I vow to live up to the expectations of my station."

Then they sealed the coffin and buried it beside her late husband, whom died from the previous assault on the compound. All one-hundred-and-eleven Borrow-Ponies looked up at them.

"What are we going to do?" one of them asked.

Nora looked down, "Would you guys mind watching over this place? If you want to, you could make this place as 'haunted' as you want. A Ninpony hideout is no longer viable, but there is plenty of food in reserves for about hundred years or more for ponies of your size."

"Sounds like a good plan."

Then the Borrow-Ponies entered the buildings, all except for Rose Painter. Rose climbed back into Nora's pocket.

"I'll stay with you, Nora." Rose smiled.

"Thank you, Rose." Nora smiled back, "I'm going to need it."

Then the two Ninponies teleported away. A moment later, a massive misty fog appeared, covering everything in its wake.
