Many moons ago, a being known as King Sombra took over the Crystal Empire. He ruled the crystal ponies with an iron fist. The two royal sisters, Celestia and Luna, did their best to fight against King Sombra, but they ultimately failed. As a result, he managed to take over all of Equestria; he's ruled it for 1000 moons as of now. He's renamed Equestria into the Sombra Empire and the Crystal City, formerly the Crystal Empire, is his capital.

As for Celestia and Luna, they are both locked up in a special prison located in another dimension that Discord created. King Sombra made a deal with Discord to keep the two alicorns locked up in his special dimension in exchange for having a piece of Equestria for him to play with as long as he doesn't deny him. Celestia and Luna are put under a very strong sleeping spell that they can't wake up from; not even Luna's ability in the realm of sleep can help her.

In the present day, King Sombra is looking over his subjects on the balcony. As he's looking over his subjects, two of his personal knights appeared; his personal knights are Shining Armor and Soarin.

(A/N: They are wearing the same armor that Sombra gave his soldiers to wear in the alternate future in the Cutie Re-mark, minus the helmets)

"We've returned from fighting the rebellion in Saddle Arabia." said Shining Armor as he and Soarin bowed down

"The rebels have been captured or killed and the leaders are now pledging their loyalty to you." said Soarin

"Excellent! With the rebellion in Saddle Arabia finished, the ceremony for who will be my next wife or wives can begin." said King Sombra

(Every so often, King Sombra has one of his spies look over Equestria for a wife that will either bear him an heir or use as his own personal sex slave. He's had many wives over the years, but he rarely uses them to bear him an heir; only 1% of his wives have ever given him a son or daughter. Sombra uses his children for either for combat or political purposes; he rarely even acknowledges them nor do they see him unless he calls for them. Any mares that have failed to meet up to his expectations as a wife are either sent away or are given to his personal knights or close associates).

"Photo Finish has given us the names and pictures of mares who you would probably want as a wife." said Shining Armor

"Read me the names and show me their pictures" said King Sombra

"Yes your highness. Applejack, Spitfire, Cadance, Marble Pie, Fleetfoot, Sugar Belle, Coloratura, Ms. Peachbottom, Lightning Dust, Saffron Masala, Cup Cake(Mrs. Cake), Trixie, Lyra Heartstrings, Sweetie Drops, Minuette, Moon Dancer, Starlight Glimmer, Spoiled Rich, Rarity, Cookie Crumbles (Rarity's mom), Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy. We also have a zebra and a griffon; their names are Zecora and Gilda." said Shining Armor showing them their pictures by using his magic to levitate them

"These seem to be excellent choices. Since you two have brought me much success, I will let you pick two mares for yourselves; however, the griffon is off limits." said King Sombra

"Thank you your highness!" said Shining Armor and Soarin

Shining Armor picked Cadance and Zecora, while Sorain picked Spitfire and Rainbow Dash. Once they made their selections, they were dismissed by King Sombra. He then went to his chambers to rest for the night. In his room, Queen Chrysalis is waiting for him in the nude. In order to prevent a war with the Changeling kingdom and to increase his own military, both Queen Chrysalis and King Sombra signed a treaty to combine their might in exchange for her changelings to have food, which is the emotion of love, and stallions for her personal use; unlike Sombra, she just uses the stallions she is given for pleasure rather than bearing her heirs or taking care of her baby changelings that are born.

"What are you doing here?" said King Sombra

"I got bored and decided to come visit you." said Queen Chrysalis grabbing on to King Sombra

"I'm busy!" said King Sombra

"You seem to have a nice selection of mares coming in for your personal harem." said Queen Chrysalis

"That's none of your concern. You only feed off love/lust; you don't have to make it." said King Sombra

"True, but my species can enjoy it." said Queen Chrysalis twirling her hands around King Sombra's nipple

"What do you want?" said King Sombra

"I just came here for fun and to ask for a favor; I want to borrow one of your personal knights for a while. That stylist that you let me have, Zephyr Breeze, is starting to get stale. I have a few other stallions but they're getting boring too." said Queen Chrysalis

"Why should I give you one of my personal knights? You could use one of them to spy on me or plan to get rid of me; I don't trust you enough to let you have one of my knights. Now get out!" said King Sombra shouting at Queen Chrysalis

"Very well! I just wanted a stallion for play, nothing more; it's not worth fighting over with you and damaging our partnership. If you change your mind, let me know." said Queen Chrysalis

With that said, Queen Chrysalis left the room via portal magic. Once she was gone, King Sombra went to bed for the night.

This is a new story I came up with in order to try something new. While I'm coming up with most of the chapters, I will be taking request for pairings that you would like to see in this story. Just remember that this is an AU so things are different; an example being that Twilight Sparkle and Cadance aren't alicorns here, rather they are a unicorn and a pegasus. Also, this is an anthro story. If you have a certain pairing you would like to see, let me know via the reviews or pm and I will see what I can do.
