Limping on his swollen and sore hooves from all the exercise he did the other day when the Storm Troopers were there, the dark king of the Crystal Empire walked to where he kept his library. There had to be some sort of magical artifact he could use in order to bolster his own power and make himself more formidable. Being weak was not something that the dark monarch particularly enjoyed in the slightest. Given that, the former ruler knew he needed to improve upon his natural abilities if he was going to stand a chance of survival. It was both a law of business and a law of nature that the strong survived and the weak didn't. Since he was weak right now, King Sombra knew that the chances of his survival were slim.
Such chances were unacceptable. In order to improve his chances he needed to make his own skills increase in the Omniverse. Sure he had this castle but it was not enough on it's own. All the fortresses in the Omniverse wouldn't be enough without the power to protect them. Levitating a couple of books in the grasp of his magic, King Sombra went outside to the area he had set up to train in. Examining the 'gym' he'd set up that was more dangerous than standard gyms and reminded him of the time he was from, King Sombra was now ready. The book held instructions on how to perform a power known as "Dark Magic Blast" which should be relatively easy. Focusing all his will into trying to make it happen, the Dark King tried...and failed. Why couldn't he do something like this? It should be easy for him to learn new techniques. Back in Equestria, he'd been one of the most powerful people actually to exist and that was saying something about him. Few could boast they'd fought 2 Alicorns to a stand still, but he had done so.
