Everyone knows what happened in Magical Mystery Cure. The Cutie Marks were switched around the Mane 6 except for Twilight and she had to fix it. What if instead of Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and AppleJack, it was Dr.Whooves, Lyra, Derpy, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, and Bon Bon?

Princess Skyla, Daughter of Cadance and Shining Armor, recounts a day in her foalhood when she met the imprisoned soul of Sombra. She argues with the ex-tyrant, believing that her parents are perfect in every way, especially her Father. Sombra says otherwise...

King Sombra’s dark influence was obliterated by the Crystal Heart, and the villain is well and truly dead. But when he attempts to steal the afterlife of an innocent victim, a human spirit is left hurtling towards Equestria, where this unfortunate soul is revived into the only vessel available: the reconstituted body of King Sombra himself.

Thus, a cheerfully oblivious alien is crammed into the form of the most evil and malicious being Equestria has ever known. Not that Shining Armor and Cadence know this, of course. As far as they are concerned, the King is back and he’s lost his fricking mind.
