you know what- another one. Does it count if they became extremely evil after a huge life event and become a self fulfilling prophecy? Eh, Imma rant big-time here anyways. Cw// spousal death/dusting.
Huge reference- tonic can't, if at all, speak because of her vocal cords being severely cut. And Umbra carries Luminescent's soul around his neck
That being said keep that in mind but basically-Umbra and the others were going to get married. A little private small wedding. A simple wedding in a totally different garden. Umbra has left the necklace at home and wanted to focus on his big day. The four have been together for years and decided to finally be one together. As the wedding was happening a specific Ink and swap took the necklace and returned it to the statue, releasing Lumine from his prison. His head was still filled with beliefs that his brother was corrupted so the ink and swap convinced him to finish what was started.
He's a Dream. He's supposed to be the hero. Get up and fight. Stealthily arriving, Lumine steadies his bow. Tonic was beautiful, stepping up to their little made shift podium. Umbra is sobbing, Smog is saying how beautiful she is and Bull couldn't be happier. As they were barley getting through their vows the arrow strikes through Tonic's skull, taking out half of it. She collapses in her widows' arms. She's barely holding on all while Umbra is losing it the most, yelling, crying, begging for her to hold on. Tonic is heavily bleeding dermination and looks up at the three."Guys,,,,please-" she dusts. All over their clothes she dusts.
Umbra stares, smog is gripping at the dust while Bull is almost throwing up from everything. But in the distance, Umbra can hear a little pinging sound of someone leveling up. He can't stop himself, he stands and follows the sound to Lumine. Lumine is SHAKING and can barely hold his arrows up. All while the ink and swap are sitting behind him passively, watching.
Umbra grips Lumine and growls with unfathomable rage, "you. You fucking did this to her. You killed someone innocent just to feel like a made up hero. You did this.... you're gonna get your wish. You wanna be a fucking hero so badly then act like one." He throws down luminescent, gathered all the dust he could and left.
Over the course of years Umbra became increasingly destructive. He killed aus, hurt people and caused severe misery. He's so lost in his grief that he became the prophecy everyone made him out to be. Bull and Smog though? They're grieving too. At first they thought this was justified but now they're too scared to leave Umbra. The loving skeleton they knew was gone. Meanwhile, Luminescent has been trying to play hero but has failed time and time again. The ink and swap that was with him? They abandoned him. They looked at him coldly ,"You are not the dream we're looking for." Was all they said before they left. Onto the next dream to complete their squad!
Lumine eventually gets to talk to his brother face to face, albeit with some chasing. He's on his knees, BEGGINGGGG for Umbra to stop. He can't do this anymore. He's sorry and he's sorry about Tonic! Umbra can only look at him coldly.
He picks up the bow and arrow that was thrown onto the ground and shoves it into Lumine's hands."Play the hero."
"I can't!! I don't want this anymore , this was a huge mistake and I'm sorry!! Please stop, Umbra. I can't help anyone like this."
Umbra gets increasingly pissed and melty as he barks at Lumine, "Play the hero."
"What do you want from me?! I'll be a statue again. You can destroy me into a million pieces just please stop hurting everyone, I can't do this anymore!"
"Play...the fucking hero, Lumine. This is what you wanted. To defeat the big bad nightmare and have everyone adore you and your victory."
"I DON'T WANT THIS ANYMORE!" Lumine starts to hysterically cry, begging for mercy. Umbra just stares at him before turning away. "Next time...I better see the guardian of positivity...not a pathetic child on the front lines." Umbra walks away. No fighting no more badgering. He leaves all while Lumine is calling after him for forgiveness and mercy.
Umbra becomes a very big villain and merciless killer all to spite Lumine and just to make him suffer specifically.
