Sombra 2.0

[Al1701]

With the Season 3 premier having come and gone, it's time to fanfic the hell out of Sombra and the Crystal Empire. Here's my contribution.

Disclaimers

1. First of all, this is a mutation of My Little Pony Legends to fit with the Friendship is Magic universe. That means this will concentrate on a different group of ponies. While the Mane 6 might appear, it will be a in a minor role.

2. This is in spec script format using Celtx and saved as a PDF. Spec scripts are unlike narratives. They communicate what is seen and heard on the screen.

3. This story is rated TV-Y7 for fantasy violence.

4. While this is based on the FiM universe, I'm treating this as its own continuity. Hasbro will never do this because it doesn't fit their image of the show. Canon will also crush this quickly. However, I'm not one to let canon get in the way of a good story.

5. I'm calling this series My Little Pony: The Secrets of Equestria just in case I decide to take this past the Sombra story.

6. As with most of my story threads, this first post will serve as a hub where all the links are. Each new episode will get its own post as well.

I love it!

[Al1701]

Great to hear. What did you think of my characterization of Sombra?

[weirdraptor]

I like how his first few lines are almost robotic, but then as he keeps monologuing, he kinda "opens up". I also like that he has an actual plan.

[Al1701]

I blasted through the whole first act of Part 3 today.

[weirdraptor]

Cool. I look forward to seeing it. No rush, of course.

[Al1701]

Now I have to develop how I want to round up the rest of the protagonists. This includes thinking of some of them as well as making reasons they would be included in the group.

[weirdraptor]

Who do you have to round up, or would that be too much of a spoiler?

[Al1701]

I want to have a group of 20 adult ponies total; six pegasi, six unicorns, and eight earth ponies. Six of them (two of each species) are the main characters with the rest playing supporting roles. By the end of the first act of part three I have my six unicorns and one of Monsoon's colleagues from Los Pegasus will be joining as the sixth pegasus.

That leaves the earth ponies. I have one in the group so far with two more joining in short order. That leaves five more (three of which I've already developed) to work into joining the the group somehow.

[weirdraptor]

Perhaps Majesty can send them, depending on where they come from.

I love your version of Sombra! I LOLed so hard when he was trying to drive.

[Al1701]

I loved writing that. Even if he isn't a comedic villain, we can still have a laugh as he gets use to his new body.

A little reference quiz.

What is the construction of the Changeling Core and Slander's response to orders from Queen Chrysalis a reference to?

Hint: It's from 70's science fiction.
