The day starts with Pinkie Pie and Twilight in the park where Pinkie is talking Twilights ears off. Until she sees Rainbow Dash flying overhead and she starts following Rainbow Dash.

“Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie says.

“Ngh. Pinkie Pie? Not again.” Rainbow mumbles to herself. Before flying off.

“Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie shouts

“Not now Pinkie!” Rainbow Dash says before speeding off but crashing into a mountain.

“But… but… I was gonna warn you about the mountain.” Pinkie says.

A few hours pass in the day and Pinkie is asking around ponyville looking for Rainbow Dash. And she stumbles across Umbra.

“Umbra?” Pinkie asks

“Yes pinkie?” Umbra says.

“Have you seen rainbow dash?” Pinkie asks

“No I haven’t. I haven’t seen heard all day but I’m pretty sure she’s up there on the cloud.” Umbra says

A few seconds later and Rainbow Dash flies off and pinkie hops to follow her.

“Umm… Excuse me Mr. Umbra?” A shy voice asks.

“Hmm?” Umbra turns around. “Oh. Hello Fluttershy. And I’ve told you. There’s no need for manners. I know it’s to be nice but you don’t need to.” Umbra says.

“Oh. Okay.” Fluttershy says looking more calm.
“Can you help me with something?” Fluttershy asks.

“Sure. What is it?” Umbra says.

“Can you help me feed the animals by the lake?” Fluttershy asks.

“Sure. Just lead the way” Umbra says as she starts to walk in the direction of the lake.

It’s a ten minute walk to the lake but halfway through the walk Umbra hears something but isn’t bothered until a cloud is slowly floating over them. And loud strike of thunder is heard. Umbra flinches but looks angered while Fluttershy yelps and hides in her mane in embarrassment. And Umbra hears two ponies laughing behind a bush and approaches the bush to find Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie and they try to flee but Umbra grabs their tails.

“Do you two know what you did?! Answer me! And don’t you dare lie!” Umbra shouts

“U-uh w-we d-didn’t mean too. We thought it would be funny.” Rainbow Dash says while pinkie is nodding in agreement.

“Oh yeah! Scaring Fluttershy is real funny! You got me laughing! I’ve already had to deal with pranks and damn dogs before! Don’t think I won’t do anything reckless. And if you ever and I mean EVER prank Fluttershy again I might put more blood on my sword.” Umbra says as he lets go of their tails and he walks back to Fluttershy and asks her if she’s okay and she nods as they both start walking towards the lake.

“I told you not to do it Rainbow Dash!” Pinkie Pie says

“I didn’t think it would end this badly!” Rainbow Dash shouts.

“I told you Umbra can blow up as easily as a firecracker! And Fluttershy gets scared very easily because of how sensitive she is!” Pinkie pie shouts.

“Well I’m sorry.” Rainbow dash says as they start trotting away.

Meanwhile at the lake.

“Thank you for sticking up for me Umbra” Fluttershy says

“It was nothing. And besides. I know how sensitive you are. But don’t take it rudely. It’s what makes you… you.” Umbra says as he pats her on the head gently. “And I’m sorry for yelling at your friends. It was rude and inconsiderate. But I hate pranks.” Umbra says.

“I accept your apology but just try to be nice. I know you’re trying to change and I want to help you. But we’ll get through… together.” Fluttershy says as she pulls him into a hug and Umbra hugs her back.

As the hour goes by they say their goodbyes for the night and head their separate ways as Fluttershy goes back to her cottage Umbra is left standing alone in the dark until he hears a voice.

“So you’re myself incarnate? How pathetic.” A mysterious feminine voice says.

“I’m different and that’s all that matters! You should be proud. After all. I’m better.” Umbra responds before walking away and the voice doesn’t say anything. There is no sound besides the ruffling leaves and the wind.

As the night passes and morning arises and the birds are chirping and Umbra wakes up against a tree. And looks around to find his sword missing.

“What? Where is it? Where’s my sword?!” Umbra says looking around and seeing Rainbow Dash walking away with a Griffin and the Griffin has Umbra’s Sword. And Umbra starts approaching the Griffin and Rainbow Dash.

“I told you it would be easy Rainbow.” The Griffin says.

“I don’t know Gilda. He gets angered really easily especially when his stuff is taken” Rainbow dash says

“Pshh, Whatever! What’s he going to do? Kick my ass?” Gilda says

“That’s exactly what I’m going to do” Umbra says sounding pissed.

“Oh yeah? I’d like to see you tr-!” Gilda couldn’t even finish her sentence before getting a punch to the face. And she drops the sword and Umbra grabs it and puts it around his shoulder and starts walking off.

Once Gilda recovers she looks around for Umbra but he is no where to be seen.

“What’s his problem?!” Gilda says rubbing her beak.

“I warned ya.” Rainbow Dash says before the fly towards town.

Thirty minutes go by and Fluttershy is leading a family of Ducks through town before Gilda purposefully walks into her and starts mocking her. And Umbra is right outside of town as he sees this. And the ground starts to rumble.

“Anyone who hurts my friends! IS GONNA PAY!!” Umbra shouts and his hair glows a Celestial night color and he gains a black aura as he sprints through the town towards Gilda.

Gilda hears this and turns around. “What?!” She says as she’s met with a punch to the side of the face as she goes flying into the side of a building and Umbra leaps at her and grabs her by the neck and slams her into the ground and starts strangling her. As she’s sitting there being strangled the ponies are shocked and appalled and screaming and trying to stop Umbra but can’t get through to him but only one pony could stop him and it was Fluttershy. She places a hoof on his shoulder and whispers

“It’s okay. Let her go” Fluttershy whispers as Umbra’s Aura dies down and his hair returns to normal and he lets go of Gilda and looks at his hands before sprinting off out of town.

Gilda is sitting on the ground rubbing her neck and struggling to breathe for air as Rainbow Dash lands trots over to the group.

“What happened here?!?” Rainbow Dash asks

“Gilda was being mean to Fluttershy and Umbra wasn’t having it so he was like” Pinkie pie tries to copy Umbra’s voice “Anyone who hurts my friends. Is Gonna Pay! And his hair went a so so so so cool totally spectacular black color and he gained a black aura and there were tremors in the ground too it was scary but it was so cool like jumping off a diving board!” Pinkie pie says in one breath.

Gilda stands up. “I’m sick of this dump! You ponies are lame and totally suck!” Gilda says before flying away.

Meanwhile at the Canterlot castle the princess gets a letter from a someone.

“Dear Princess Celestia. I had an outburst today because of a bully. I don’t know what happened but I know I did something wrong. I apologize for my actions. Love your adopted son Umbra.” Celestia reads to herself.

“I love you too son.” Celestia says as she closes the letter and puts it away.
