The Siege of the Crystal Empire is a Limited-Time Story Quest that begun on September 21, 2018 and ended on October 1, 2018.
Twilight Sparkle: I can't believe the Crystal Faire is coming up so soon! I've cleared out my whole schedule to make sure we can get these party supplies to the Crystal Empire on time...
Spike: Yeah... but do they REALLY have to call everything "the Crystal Whatever" up there? We get it! It's crystal!
Twilight Sparkle: They're just proud of their home, Spike. Anyway, I thought you loved the Crystal Empire -- you're a hero there!
Pinkie Pie: Yeah! From that time when you defeated the eeevil unicorn king Sombra by bringing the legendary Crystal Heart to the Crystal Dais and poofing him into smoke with the power of love!
Twilight Sparkle: Well, nothing like that's going to happen this time! That's why we have pegasus security and our friends monitoring the Faire preparations. I think Applejack's keeping an eye out...
Quest #1: One Apple Less...
Quest #1: One Apple Less...
"Uh... about that. Flim and Flam just showed up sayin' they're DEFINITELY not plannin' to steal anything from my farm while the Faire's goin' on? So... uh... I'm gonna make sure they haven't stolen anything."
"I guess Applejack has the right idea... Flim and Flam are nothing but trouble, wherever they show up!"
Quest #2: Dash Away...
Quest #2: Dash Away...
"Yeah -- I actually might need to take five on that whole "security" thing, too. Lightning Dust just dared me to beat her stunt-flying record, and, I mean... she's the worst! I've GOTTA do this!"
"Oh no... Now Twilight's busy, too?! I've got a bad feeling about this..."
Pinkie Pie: Hey, everypony! So, I don't know if this is a bad time, but I just wanted you to know that I THINK I just stopped Iron Will from stealing the Crystal Heart?
Pinkie Pie: ... Maybe. There was a lot of running around! But he stuffed it in this satchel (I think), and then I GOT the satchel, and... Oh. I guess there's nothing IN the satchel! Never mind!
Twilight Sparkle: Wait... but if YOU don't have the Crystal Heart, and it's not on the Crystal Dais... then... Who DOES have the--
Sombra: The king has returned. Long live the King!
Twilight Sparkle: Oh no... Chrysalis, Iron Will, everypony else... they were just a distraction! Sombra must've regained his physical form somehow, but...
Twilight Sparkle: No -- the "how" isn't important right now! My friends and I have to stop him from retaking the Crystal Empire! I don't even want to THINK about what happens if he gets past us...
"No... TWILIGHT!!! This can't be happening... This can't be happening!"
Sombra: So, little pony... you're a princess now. Not that anything has come of it. Minions... take these six to their cages -- and the dragon, too. Make sure their magic is contained.
Twilight Sparkle: No... I can't believe it... We lost...! Is this... Is this it...?
Princess Celestia: Not quite. It seems Cadance was right to call me here after all.
Sombra: YOU! Celestia... When you defeated me before, I was young and inexperienced... but now I'm stronger.
Princess Celestia: Sombra -- it matters not how powerful you are. You are powered by hatred!
Radiant Hope: That's not entirely true. Hello, Princess...
Princess Celestia: Hope?! But... I haven't seen you for a thousand years! After you warned us about Sombra's treachery... studied with Luna and me to become a princess... then left...! I thought you were lost!
Radiant Hope: No... I'm right where I belong. It was my fault that you banished Sombra... which is why I had to bring him back. He's my best foalhood friend...
Radiant Hope: ...and I won't let you hurt him again! Quick, Sombra -- while I've got her distracted! Defeat her!!!
"Is Celestia okay...? PLEASE tell me Celestia's okay... I can't look!"
Twilight Sparkle: NOOOO! You turned Celestia to stone! Sombra... You may have imprisoned me, but as long as I still have the strength to stand, I will see to it that you're punished for this.
Sombra: You're a brave fool, Twilight Sparkle... but soon, you'll just be another entry in my journal. Soon, I will set the Umbrum free... and I want you to see what they will do to your world.
Sombra: Farewell, Princess. When I return, I will have my own army... and you will call me EMPEROR Sombra.
Radiant Hope: Sombra... don't overextend yourself. You can't free the Umbrum if you do... They're your people... and it's your destiny to save them, ever since Princess Amore locked them away!
Sombra: Hope... You may have lived among them, but you should know more than anypony -- you give them too much credit. They are monsters. Just like me.
Sombra: I've known that ever since I saw my reflection in the Crystal Heart all those years ago... since I learned I was an Umbrum myself. THAT is my destiny -- and I cannot escape it.
Sombra: Now -- leave me. I must defeat the rest of the Crystal Empire's Royal Guard if I am ever to take the castle... including one meddlesome Prince in particular.
"(Sssssh... Don't tell anypony, but Twilight broke out of her cage while Sombra was distracted! Good thing, too... we REALLY needed a win.)"
Sombra: Hmph. Out cold. So much for the pride of the Crystal Empire. But with Shining Armor defeated... nothing stands between me... and this.
Sombra: The door to the world of the Umbrum... deep below the castle. I've dreamt of opening it for so long, but... what if they're good after all? What if I'm the only real monster?
Twilight Sparkle: You ARE a monster, Sombra -- and I told you you'd be punished! You hurt my friends... hurt my family... made me doubt myself! But we escaped -- and it's time you learned a lesson!
Radiant Hope: Sombra! You can't open the door! I just came from the Umbrum's world, and I was wrong about-- GyAAAAH!!!
Twilight Sparkle: No... She ran in front of my magic blast! I didn't mean to hit her... Hope -- I'm so sorry! I--
"I'm just going to hide under a rock and hope the terrifying shadow monsters go away on their own... My poor dragon heart can't take this!"
Sombra: It is done... They are all captured or turned to stone, save for Cadance. That fool has fled towards the Crystal Dais... if we turn her to stone there, then this campaign will be over.
Radiant Hope: And I'm to be your empress in all this? An empress of monsters... The Umbrum told me this was who you would become, but I didn't believe it. I should have listened. But I had... hope.
Sombra: Hope! You're awake... But -- but you don't understand! When we looked into the Crystal Heart, I saw THIS! I saw my destiny... I was born to be a monster.
Radiant Hope:And I saw myself as a princess! And I was going to be one... but I left my training to try and find you. I had a choice between my destiny and you, and I chose you.
Radiant Hope: I've never believed in destiny, Sombra. You're the only thing I've ever believed in. And if all this is really what you want... then let's go and forge our destiny together.
"What's happening? Sombra put me in another cage, and I have NO idea where Twilight or Cadance are right now... HELP!!!"
Umbrum: The traitor Cadance has been defeated! Now, we must make the Crystal Empire see that there is no hope. Eliminate the princesses now, Sombra!
Radiant Hope: Wait... I have a better idea. Princesses are fine, but they come and go. All you need to destroy their hope is this: the Crystal Heart.
Radiant Hope: It's the same thing that hurt you... that locked the Umbrum away. But if you smash it... they'll be free forever.
Sombra: The Crystal Heart... I remember the first time I looked into this thing. It was the first time I saw myself as a monster... But now, I just see me. Just my reflection.
Umbrum: It must not work if it's not powered up. All the more reason to destroy it!
Sombra: No... No, I think it's working fine. Hope? ... Thank you. I think it's time I made my own destiny.
Sombra: Everypony -- help Hope get the Crystal Heart to the Dais! I'll keep the Umbrum away from her until she can imprison them again... It's not too late!
Sombra: Now... let me do this. Let me defeat these last few Umbrum, and when I'm done... Just promise me you won't run away again. You can do so much good in this world.
"No... Sombra... he's fading away! I never thought I'd feel sorry for him, but... but..."
Radiant Hope: NO! Sombra... You said I could do good, and now I'm doing it! The other Umbrum may be gone, but I'm not letting YOU go... even if I have to fight the magic of the Crystal Heart myself!
Princess Cadance: You're not alone, Hope! I'm the Princess of the Crystal Empire, after all -- the empire the two of you just saved!
Twilight Sparkle: The empire your FRIENDSHIP saved -- and friendship is kinda my thing! Princesses: Focus your magic on the Crystal Heart. On my mark... ready... and... GO!
Sombra: Am... am I really here? Hope... everypony... You saved me! I don't know how to thank you, or how to apologize...
Princess Celestia: There is no need, Sombra. You have saved Equestria, and you have been forgiven. You have another chance to decide what sort of pony you will be... What will you do with it?
Sombra: I... I think I'll start by forgiving someone myself. Princess Amore... I always blamed her for imprisoning the Umbrum, but she deserves a second chance.
Sombra: I made her into a statue and scattered her pieces across Equestria. But Hope... if you helped me rebuild the statue...
Radiant Hope: ... We could save her? We could bring her back?!
Sombra: Let me tell you a story, everypony... Once upon a time, there was a young pony who wasn't like the others. All he wanted was a friend.
Sombra: And then, he found one. She was the most amazing friend that anypony could have asked for. He loved her and she loved him... but he didn't love himself.
Sombra: He was worried he was a monster... and how could anypony ever care about a monster?
Sombra: That's the thing about friendship, though. Your friends are friends because they can see the great things you have inside.
Sombra: They can see past looks, and family, and even your own worries... And they can see the goodness inside of you, even if you don't see it yourself.
Helpers increase the maximum amount of Shadow Crystals you can have.
