The castle that King Sombra had created was not one that looked inviting. Between the old school architecture and the nasty little surprises he'd filled the water with near his castle, it had an unwelcoming vibe to it. Sharks and eels as well as poisonous serpents that had been modified by his magic so as to not target him had been put into place. Furthermore he'd even added a few jellyfish, and giant squid monsters. Yes, Sombra really did despise unwanted guests that badly. Plus if O-Harmony or anyone else sent anyone the defenses of the animal variety should soften them up. Of course were the defenses of that variety not enough, there was more. Sombra had added turrets that while not auto turrets like those of Carmelita Sly-Cooper were similar, but more reliant on magic than technology. Eventually after several attempts to make the turrets purely out of science, he had given up completely and decided that they had to be made out of magic.
This was not the only defense however. The door way to his castle had been modified with an enchantment. Step through the door without being loyal to him, and you'd experience your worst nightmare. Most certainly, this should deter any unwanted visits. Examining the castle from the exterior, Sombra had to admit. He had outdone himself, beyond his wildest dreams.
"A job well done, I'll give myself that."
Reminiscent of the castle he had once had in the Crystal Empire, the castle that he had created was made out of a black and navy-ish crystal. The castle was imposing and had a sense of foreboding terror that King Sombra liked. The top of the tower had a large crystal that actually was an auto turret that had been created out of magic. Several spires existed on the castle that were similar to that.The grounds of the castle happened to be made out of a smooth, white marble that was cold to the touch of the hooves and was easy enough to keep cool, especially with the benefit of air conditioning. Several pipes ran through the castle, pumping water to both refrigerators and the air conditioner unit that King Sombra had created.
Well to be exact, one of several of the units.This was not his actual home, but it was a close enough replica that he could call it his home actually. Hidden throughout the grounds of his domain were motion-activated traps that he had made. Each of the traps was made so that it would shoot a nasty explosive crystal shard into the body of anyone foolish enough to attack his castle. A king should defend his home after all, and to be honest King Sombra didn’t want a visit of any kind from Deadpool.
The interior of the castle was not like the exterior. While the exterior was primarily old school architecture and not modern in the slightest, according to his tastes a realization had been made by the dark king. Plumbing and refrigeration was a headache enough without having to adapt it fully to a castle like design, and so he had made some modifications. The interior wa a combination of both modern designs, and the castle aesthetic that he preferred. It was also made so as to appear terrifying to visitors who had come to visit.
Still there were more surprises that awaited any unwanted guests as the “Tyrant King” as some of the crystal ponies called him had no intention of a visit from Deadpool or anyone else Oharmony decided to send in his direction.Survival was paramount to his plans. The grounds inside of the castle itself even had crystal turrets aimed at the sky. Should this psychopath Carmelita described be capable of flight, Sombra was going to make sure he got shot out of the sky. Yes, the dark king really did worry about the ‘date’ he’d been assigned that much. Given he didn’t even know much about the individual, King Sombra was more than a little paranoid.
Several rooms of the castle actually were traps. Walls that would crush an opponent with lethal spikes, pits that were filled with dangerous animals, pits that were filled with acid, and even some doors that could lead a person into their worst nightmare. When he had made each and every one of the traps of his home security system, King Sombra had memorized the location of each and every one of them.Dying due to his own defenses was not on his agenda either, but was something that he could avoid. Thinking back to the construction, he had to admit that he had done a good job in creating the castle. Sure it didn’t exactly match his vision, but he was learning how to use the power of Omnilium still, so that was to be expected.
There was also a tank of water that contained poisonous snakes that survived well in water hidden beneath the welcome mat, which was actually not a welcome mat. It said “Go away” on it and via a hidden switch inside the castle, would cause the unwanted guest to fall into the tank of water and hopefully be attacked by the snakes. Cameras also lined every inch of his castle and were connected to his communicator, so he could see everywhere in his castle. His place also had several generators that were rigged to power the air conditioning, and refrigeration. A series of metal grates had also been put into place that were crudely connected to the generators. Each one of these would deliver a level of electricity to the nervous system that was powerful enough to make any would be thieves reconsider, to say the least.
"Yes, truly my castle is a wonderful creation."
