A rainbow-colored ring, surrounded by an aura of magic, is being levitated and inserted on the sharp horn of an unconscious unicorn stallion. Reaching the base, the magical aura fades, and almost immediately, the colors of the ring disappears as it tightens itself on the horn.

With that done, the serious-looking white unicorn stallion in armor nods to four other armored ponies before they drag the unconscious black stallion away.

In the distance, under the shade of one of the many crystal pillars of the palace, the Princess of Love releases a big sigh of relief as she watches the large number of her guards marching towards a direction.

"What did they put on his horn, mom?"

The princess blinks a startled blink, and turns her head towards the source of the voice.

A young Flurry Heart blinks a curious blink at her. "That was Sombra, right? The evil unicorn?"

The princess nods her head and turns her gaze back at the marching guards. "Yes, dear. He won't be causing any more trouble any time soon."

"Will he be sent to Tartarus?"

"Maybe." The princess shakes her head and turns to her daughter. "He is still a pony, so perhaps there is still a way to turn him into a new leaf."

"I hope so..." The filly looks on. "Uncle Discord did, so maybe he will, too." She looks back to her mother. "But what was that shiny ring dad put on his horn?"

"A magic dampener," her mother quickly replies. "It was Twi—"

The filly blinks a curious blink.

The Princess of Love shakes her head and smiles at her daughter. "A dear friend of mine from long ago made the blueprints of it."

The filly listens on as her mother explains what it does.
