The Hunt Begins (Dark Data)

[James Knight]

The bastards that had spread the dark chips had erected crude fortifications in the form of a wooden wall around the town. When Sombra noticed Celestia go up and blast at the individuals he had to admit he was a little impressed with her. She had maintained the power she needed, and honestly dealing with the enemies in that way was more satisfying than sneaking around. Sure they did need information but it was nothing they couldn't gain after the fact. It was for that reason, that Sombra had followed Celestia. Normally he would never follow the Princess of the Sun into a battle like this, but these were not the circumstances to which he was accustom. Lives were on the line including those of his future subjects when he managed to murder Omni and take over the Omniverse. Of course, he knew he couldn't do any such deed until he was superior to how he was right now. Right now his powers were limited, and he'd need to truly evolve to handle this madness. 

Becoming an Alicorn later might be a good idea, keyword: later.  Right now he had a task to focus on and that was helping Celestia with the mess she had found herself in. Summoning his scythe, he'd trot at a brisk pace towards the enemies. As she blasted them more and more, the dark king had to admit that he was impressed with Celestia. She was certainly a skilled combatant. Perhaps Omni had not weakened her as much as he had initially thought. With a grunt of effort Sombra swung his scythe with telekinesis at any enemy who tried to get close to Celestia, and said to her. "For the here and now, Celestia we are allies. We both have reasons that we don't want the Omniverse to fall."
