As everyone else leaves the room it’s just the fillies and Umbra.

“How are you three doing?” Umbra asks to break the silence.

“We’re okay.” Scootaloo says.

“Would you like to walk with us?” Applebloom asks

“Sure.” Umbra says as they walk out of the clinic and start to walk through town and all of the ponies are looking at Umbra as he walks past and realizes the fillies have stopped walking and are now facing him as a rope is thrown over him and it’s pulled tight. “What? What’s going on?!” Umbra asks frantically. As he’s pulled down and the mane 6 approaches him.

“We’re sending you somewhere else. Do you want to know why?” Rainbow Dash says as she hits him across the face.

Umbra speaks as he spits out blood. “Why?”

“Because everytime you are here in town you always injure or damage something. Like Gilda for example. She didn’t deserve that kind of treatment because of what she did. That dragon. You killed for no reason!” Fluttershy says.

Umbra flinches when Fluttershy shouts at him.

“So this is it?! You’re all just gonna turn your backs and backstab me?! I knew it. I knew he told the truth about trust. It provides nothing but a path to the grave. You traitors. After everything I’ve done for you all!” Umbra shouts

“Do it Twilight. I want this barbaric creature away from here.” Rarity says.

“Wait… Who’s Idea Was This?” Umbra asks

“The Princesses. They said it was for the better.” Twilight says before a bright light blinds Umbra and teleports him to a dry dead area.

Umbra breaks out of the ropes and stands up but falls to his knees and starts to punch the ground and headbutting it.

“YOU COWARDS!! ILL FIND YOU ALL AND I WILL SLAUGHTER EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! ILL KILL ANYONE WHO GETS IN MY WAY!!” Umbra shouts as he starts to shed tears and the ground starts to crack and crumble and starts to split open and loose rocks start to float. Then the rocks suddenly fall and Umbra falls but he sees a pair of green eyes before he falls unconscious. As the struggle of finding out how long it’s been. He wakes to be stuck in a room with a whole lot of ponies with holes in their legs and hooves. And he sees a tall one.

“Rise.” The creature says in an intimidating voice. And Umbra feels as if he’s compelled to listen so he does what she says.

“What are you?” Umbra asks nervously.

“I am your new queen and you will obey my orders.” The queen says.

Umbra is compelled to nod.

“Why are you in my lands?” The queen asks.

“I was teleported here. Backstabbed by those damn ponies. Shunned away.” Umbra says.

“Join me and I’ll be sure to give you, your revenge.” The queen says as she chuckles evilly.

“Fine” Umbra says as the goo that was holding him down melts and the queen uses her magic to float a mask over to him and Umbra grabs the mask and he puts the mask on and when he does his body goes cold and his hands fall to his side as he stands there motionless.

A few moments in silence and the queen is standing there with an evil smirk on her face and He closes his fists.

“State your name.” The queen demands.

“Rift.” He says

“Good. How would you like to earn your revenge.” The queen says.

Rift nods as a black liquid surrounds his hands and he drips it to the floor and it starts to form a portal as he falls through it and a week passes as he stands outside ponyville observing all of the ponies doing their daily tasks. ????? Is delivering apples to ?????’s cottage.

Rift stands there as he gets a flashback.

“I really don’t like this Umbra guy. He gives me the creeps. I don’t like him being with the little ones without us there.” The orange pony says

“Yeah. I don’t like him at all. He’s creepy.” The yellow one says

“Yeah. I agree. We should make a plan and say it was the princesses. He’ll believe us.” The blue one says.

Rift stands there as the flashback ends and he clenches his fists and starts walking into ponyville.

“Hey! Who are you?” The Blue one asks as she lands on the ground in a cool manner. “You remind of someone that I know of.” She says

Rift stands there life little to no life in his stance. A rigid breathing pattern and a cryptic stance. The rest of the mane 6 come over to investigate.

“Who are you?” The orange one says.

“Your fashion sense is atrocious” the white one says.

“Hold on girls I’ll be right back!” The purple one says as she runs away and is gone for a little bit and runs back.

“It’s wearing an ancient artifact. Look at the mask!” The purple one points out.

“Your point being?” The blue one says.

“The wearer who bears the mask is granted strong dark magic. Even I don’t know how to stop it or remove it.” The purple says

Rift points towards them. “Cease.” is all he says and they float into the air and he uses the dark magic to pull them close and he uses the magic to shove him to the ground.

“Wait. Who are you?” The purple one says.

Silence is all they get as an answer.

“Answer her! Who are you!” The blue one says and she is met with a kick to the jaw and she’s sent flying back into the dirt.

“Are you okay?!” The purple one says as they all somehow slip out of the hold and run over to their… friend?

As Rift goes to approach the ponies he hears a voice behind him.

“You’re not going anywhere.” Celestia says.

Rift turns around and charges at Celestia and goes to shoulder bash her but she forms a shield to hold him back.

“Who are you? I don’t know who you are but you seem so familiar.” Celestia says.

Rift pulls his fist back and it surrounds with black magic as he slams his fist into the shield and it shatters and celestia is flung back from the blast.

“Why are you doing this?!” Celestia shouts.

She is met with silence from Rift.

“Then you leave me no choice.” Celestia says as she charges a spell and shoots it at Rift but he easily dodges it but doesn’t realize it was a trick as Luna shows up and slams her hoof into Rift’s face and a loud crack is heard and a chunk of the mask shatters to only reveal the right half of Rift’s face.

Rift grits his teeth in pain and covers the broken half of the mask before shaking his head and removing his hand to reveal a blood and mask pieces in his face.

Celestia’s mane stops flowing as she sees the uncovered half of his face.

“Umbra? Is that you?” She asks as Rift approaches her and kicks her away. Luna tries to stall him so Celestia can recover but Rift causes a shockwave and sends Luna flying back.

Celestia charges at him and knocks him down and holds him down.

“Umbra please! This isn’t the real you!” Celestia says.

“He’s gone! He doesn’t exist anymore! Get off of me!” Rift says as he launches Celestia off of him.

“Yes it is! Please! Snap out of it. Do it for your friends. Do it for me.” Celestia pleads.

“There’s no helping me! Not after what you all did!” Rift shouts

“Sister move!” Luna shouts.

Celestia hesitates to move but sheds tears and quickly moves out of the way as she does Rift hears something and as he turns around he sees the mane 6 using the elements of harmony on him and he sees the beam coming towards him so he shoots one himself and starts a beam clash but just as he holds he starts to lose.

“Hahahaha! HAHAHAHA!!” Rift laughs and he starts to push the beam back again. “I can’t lose! I will not lose! I don’t want to lose!” He shouts. The beam starts to get closer to him and he gets engulfed in it.

As Rift is losing he thinks to himself. “I thought hard about what I was missing. What did they have that I didn't? It was fighting spirit and friendship. The will to stand up against any foe without fear as long as you’re with your friends.”

Through a flash of bright light Rift is gone.

And moments later he is banished. To where though?

As everyone is making sure everyone is okay Celestia is over by herself staring up into the sun and a mark is made on the sun.

The End?
