It had been three months since Celestia proposed to try and fully reform King Sombra and he still hadn't gotten any better about it, If anything it had gotten worse. just yesterday he snapped and almost destroyed somepony for making a crude comment towards him. Luna sighed, if he didn't start behaving soon then her and Celestia were going to be forced to send him back to his cage, only this time it would be in Tarterus and not in the dungeon in the Crystal Empire with the power of the Crystal Heart to keep him under control. Over the course of these past few months Luna had found that she would feel more upset about that than she cared to admit.

"I will not calm down!" came a voice in the hallway, Luna left her room to see what the shouting was about and saw Sombra screaming at Celestia.

"You will calm down Sombra, hitting Cadence is not something you can do!" Celestia was standing over a pink alicorn mare that was cradling her face as if it had just taken a big blow.

"What in Equestria is going on here!" Luna shouted as she walked up. "Sombra, what is the meaning of this?" Luna said sternly, motioning to the mare on the ground.

"She was driving me mad, that's what happened," he spat, obviously annoyed by everything.

"That gave you no right to do that," Celestia shouted, pointing a hoof at Cadence who was still on the floor.

"Sombra, I think you should head to your quarters before you do anymore damage," Luna calmly stated as she motioned for her guards to escort him to his room.

Celestia was helping Cadence to her hooves as Luna watched Sombra being led down the hallway. He turned his head back to Celestia with pure hatred in his eyes before spinning the rest of the way around and blasting a spell toward her. "NO!" Luna shouted jumping in the way of the blast, taking the full force of the spell. She heard Celestia scream her name and the guards pin Sombra to the ground, before falling unconscious.

Luna slowly opened her eyes and squinted as the light penetrated her vision. She slowly sat up, feeling her torso ache a lot. She moaned in pain before noticing Celestia and Cadence at her beside with a doctor beside them. "Ah, princess Luna, your awake. Your going to be sore for a few days, so i suggest taking it easy. Other than that there aren't any serious injuries, so you'll live," the doctor stated calmly.

"Thank you doctor," Celestia said.

"Your quite welcome. Just do as I say and take it easy, you'll be back to normal in a few days. Now, if you'll excuse me, I would like to get back to the hospital."

"Of course doctor, thank you for helping me, you may leave now," Luna said.

The doctor nodded and walked out of the room. Once the door had shut and the sound of hoofsteps faded away, Celestia spoke. "I'm afraid I put to much faith in Sombra's ability to be fully reformed. It's not going to work, we must send him to Tarterus."

Luna was silent, she really hoped it wouldn't come to this and simply nodded before slipping out of bed and following her sister into the dungeon, and to the cell containing Sombra. He was sitting in the corner making no attempt to do anything. He looked completely uninterested in the goings on around him. Sombra must be lost in his thoughts, Luna concluded. Celestia cleared her throat to catch his attention. Nothing. "Sombra," she stated.

He looked up from his daze and saw the sun goddess standing before him, outside the bars. His gaze quickly averted to Luna and he lifted his head, his eyes seeming to brighten up, "Your okay!" he stated excitedly.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'm afraid that my sister has decided that it is time to send you back to prison, for the reformation hadn't worked after all," Luna hoped she sounded calmer than she felt. Old feelings that she'd had for him so long ago had resurfaced and she hoped the sadness hadn't been to noticeable in her voice.

Sombra made no attempt to look upset or surprised about this and simply stood. "I see, well then, we better get going."

Celestia nodded and opened the cage door so Sombra could step out.

Luna silently scolded herself for feeling so sad about this whole ordeal when she knew it was inevitable. Yet she still couldn't help but feel so sad about having to send Sombra back to prison. It must be done she thought. Yet, why does it hurt so much? Luna silently mulled over this as she, Celestia, and Cadence led Sombra down the hallway into the courtyard.

Once they reached the courtyard Luna could no longer bare the feelings. She flung herself at Sombra as he took his position for the spell. "Sombra no! You can't do this! There is still hope!" She shouted, Luna felt like a small filly pleading for her mom, but she didn't care. She continued to shout for a while longer before Sombra silenced her.

"Shut up! Just stand back and do the spell already!" Sombra shouted.

Luna was taken aback by his outburst, which he quickly regretted once she went from shocked to angry. Stepping back next to her sister she began the spell. "Then goodbye King Sombra, I hate that I ever knew you," she stated with anger.

Sombra thought over those words for a second before seeing the spell engulf him and........ Luna crying! He had never seen her cry, and once again felt a flood of emotions overcome him, just as he had every time a vision of her tortured him in his cell. "Luna wait...... I can change," Sombra said, practically whispering the last three words. "I can change," he said again.

Luna released her hold on the spell and Celestia soon followed in suit. Cadence couldn't help but smile at this. Once the magic dissipated around Sombra, he ran over to Luna and pulled her into his embrace. "I love you Luna, will you please give me another chance?"

Luna pulled away and looked at Sombra smiling, "I can try," she said as Sombra pulled her back into his strong embrace.

This just made Cadence smile even brighter as Celestia had a look of surprise cross her face that was soon replaced with a small smile.

Author's Note

Alright guys, again, thank Animated Rarity for the idea around the chapters reformation parts 1 and 2. If he (or she) had not suggested it this would not happen at all I don't think.
