Five years after the events of rift being banished to the sun because of the elements of Harmony and the canterlot wedding. Nopony knows why he was banished and not cleansed but Princess Celestia still mourns the loss of her “son” Umbra. Luna never could cheer Celestia up and Twilight and her friends never told Celestia that they were behind why Umbra was lost. They never admitted it and it was forgotten and lost. But rumors started to spread about a group that was very strange that would wear cloaks and a mask that can hardly be seen and they could be heard mumbling words and making groups of ponies follow them into fields.

Celestia sent Twilight and her friends to go find out what the ponies are doing.

When Twilight and her friends approach one of the hooded ponies the pony speaks.

“So you have come to join the cause? Grab a hammer and chisel and begin working.” The pony says.

“We’re not here to join. I have a couple questions. What is this? And. What kind of group is this.” Twilight asks

“This is to bring him back. He will grace this land with what it was always meant to be.” The pony says as crackles can be heard. “It’s ready!” The pony speaks energetically as she approaches the monument as the monument begins to glow and the sun goes dark.
The ponies start chanting in a language that is incomprehensible.

Twilight and her friends start to hear ominous music and they turn around to see Vinyl Scratch. “Vinyl? What are you doing here?” Twilight asks and Vinyl shrugs and points at a bag of bits that she has earned.

“You’re getting payed to do this?” Rainbow Dash asks. And Vinyl nods.

“Well I don’t blame her. A pony’s gotta do what a pony’s gotta do.” Applejack says.

Thunder starts to crackle as a figure can be seen in the sky and the figure comes crashing down and it stands up holding a flaming sword.

“Hahahaha. So the time has finally arrived. I couldn’t have done it with you all!” The figure says towards the crowd.

The crowd is cheering and one of the cloaked ponies approaches the figure.

“I did what you asked. Do I get a reward?” The pony asks.

“Yes. Yes you do.” The figure says as he pulls out a book and hands it to the pony as the pony sees it and giggles and runs off.

“Alright you all can go home now! You all will be rewarded soon!” The figure says to the crowd. “Except you Vinyl. You stay.” The figure says as it turns to face Twilight and her friends. And her and her friends go wide eyed.

“Good. Hahaha. You lot remember me. I’m here for my revenge. And you all have been lured.” The figure says.

“Umbra?!” Twilight says.

“I thought you got sent to the sun?” Applejack says.

“Ohh. Umbra doesn’t exist anymore. He died when you all back stabbed him!” Rift says as he stomps his foot and it cracks the ground.

“W-we’re sorry darling! We all decided to!” Rarity says.

“What about his mother? Did you take the one thing that she had besides Luna?!” Rift says.

“We tried to! But she didn’t believe us and didn’t want to talk to us!” Twilight shouts.

“Lies!” Rift shouts as he starts to form an aura.
“Vinyl! Give us something over here. And make it good.” Rift says.

Vinyl nods and starts doing her own thing delivering a beat.

Rift starts approaching the mane 6 with his flaming sword drawn. “Hehehehe.” Rift chuckles as he gets in range to strike the girls and he reels his sword up and it stops right before it hits Twilights neck. “Huh?” Rift says as he looks and the sword is being stopped by a blue aura and he turns and sees that it’s Rarity’s magic and he starts approaching her at a quick rate and he draws the sword back and swings it towards her until a steel clank can be heard and Storm looks and it’s Luna.

“You. You aren’t supposed to be here anymore.” Luna says

“Again?! Ugh! What are you going to do! I can easily defeat you!” Rift says as he points to himself and starts running at Luna and they start to get into a sword fight and their swords keep on clashing into each others until Rift starts to push Luna’s sword towards her and they go at it for so long they are standing towards the edge of a cliff.

“What’s wrong? Can’t stand the heat?! I’ll show you real burns!” Rift said with a maniacal laugh. As he says this he loses his ground and Luna manages to retaliate against him and she slashes her sword against his face and she slices the mask where Rift had fixed it and Rift drops his sword in agony and he steps backwards and covers his face with his hands.

“AGH!! YOU BASTARD!!” He says as he removes his hand and there’s a giant gash on his face with blood seeping out of it. Rift grabs his sword and puts the flaming blade to the gash and he screams in agony and pulls the sword away to reveal a cauterized wound.

He re-engages into a fight with Luna and they start going at it. Rift manages to get a few burns and cuts on her and Luna manages to get nasty cuts on to Rift and they keep on getting closer to the edge but they keep going back and forth to try to kill each other.

“You Think I’ll let you win?! Ha! Impossible! I will not lose to you! If I want to lost it’ll be from that damned Princess Celestia! Not you!” Rift says as He takes a step back and slips on a rock and stumbles backwards to the edge of the cliff. “Woah! No no NO!” He shouts as he starts to fall backwards and down the cliff. As he is falling his yell can be heard getting quieter and quieter as he falls further and eventually a loud thud can be heard as it all goes silent as Luna stands over the cliff.

Twilight and her friends run over to Luna.

“Princess Luna! Are you okay?!” Twilight asks frantically.

“That was awesome!” Rainbow Dash shouts enthusiastically.

“Yeah! It was super duper awesome! It was… Coolsome!” Pinkie Pie says with even more enthusiasm.

“Oh yes darlings it may have been… coolsome… but that’s besides the point. Does anypony else think he’ll come back?” Rarity asks

“I hope not. He’s very mean.” Fluttershy says quietly but loud enough to where everyone can hear her.

“Well I don’t know about y’all but I could sure go for an apple pie right now. One that’s made by Granny Smith.” Applejack says as everyone nods.

“Well it was nice being here to help but I must go. Farewell.” Luna says as she teleports away.

“Well? Shall we get going?” Applejack asks as everyone else nods and they begin to walk.
