The spell had not been the one his mentor, Starswirl the bearded wanted. Yet it had been just as effective. Still he knew he'd need something more because melee combat was not something one could do without a weapon. Channeling Omnilium he began to create an item for himself that could serve multiple purposes. A sword was only good for offense, but a scythe was a weapon that better fit him. Given Luna had wielded a Scythe against him back during their first battle it only made sense that he should get his hands on such a weapon. Frowning as his mentor walked away Sombra started considering what had happened to him thus far in this strange new universe. For one, he had been paired with Deadpool who was someone who made both him and Discord look like perfectly normal individuals by O-Harmony. Yes, the individuals who had made that particularly despicable pairing were certainly going to perish by his hooves, and his hooves alone. As he started trotting towards the exit, Sombra felt a new found power bursting within him. It seemed somehow when he had been practicing the spell his physical power had normalized.
Granted it was more than he had ever expected. Physically he was about the level of an average Earth Pony. Sure that may not seem like much but when combined with the natural magical abilities possessed by the dark king? His power was growing at a surpassing rate. Still he had to do something about his weakness. Right now he lacked most of the magical spells in his arsenal. Since he couldn't fight without magic, or physical attacks he knew he needed to gain both in order to ensure his survival. Continuing to focus the power of Omnilium for a good half hour, King Sombra tried to make thee Scythe that he wanted for himself. Yet his fifteen attempts to make the Scythe had been so far without success. What was it that Carmelita Sly-Cooper had said? Omnilium could be easily manipulated by Primes? If so he'd make it do his will.
Slowly his scythe began to shape. Black and red colored crystals and bits of metal formed out of the Omnilium melding together beautifully into an elegant but lethal looking Scythe that reminded him of the one he had wielded back home. This scythe was a perfect representation of the power he was going to unleash upon his enemies, and the justice he was going to give O-Harmony. Since no one else was in the mood to serve up the justice they rightfully deserved, King Sombra supposed it fell to him. Once the scythe had been created, the dark king dissipated it. Right now he didn't need the scythe, and it would only cause him problems later anyway. What he did need was a way to get stronger with his magic, and prove himself more powerful than he was now. There were many ways that he could do this, but he'd need more allies. Sure he could count on the Thieves Guild to provide access to the Dataverse but that was only a short term goal of his.
Walking out of his castle, King Sombra went to where the dock was. Once he was at the dock, King Sombra concentrated. Several attempts were made by him to shape Omnilium once more. Another half hour passed, of about 10 attempts to make a boat. Once he had constructed a sea-worthy vessel for himself, the tyrant of the Frozen North boarded the vessel. Using the vessel he proceeded to the main island. Upon arrival at the main island of the Vasty Deep where the "Empire" had a presence, he disembarked from the boat. After leaving the boat he'd dissipate it and the Omnilium flowed back into his body until he needed it again. This had taken him roughly 3 hours of boat riding to arrive, not counting the time it had taken him to make his Scythe. At least now he had a decent melee weapon.
Visibly perturbed he approached the gate. "Well no time like the present." With that he'd leap into the gate. The portal would take him to the Nexus.
