Dude, you know that wont happen, right? admit it, this is a clusterfuck, a complete failure.

“Empress Hope”
 
The Canon Sueing continues it seems. “Oh, we used her fo sho… but we still love her because there’s nobody she doesn’t get along with, even creatures that loathe everything”

So with the time shift, my expectation on how this plays out has changed.
 
Remember Princess Amore? Remember how she’s in hundreds of pieces scattered about Equestria?
 
Who has an army of hundreds or thousands to find and recover those pieces?
 
That is, Queen Crysalis is going to help resolve this (the umbrum do not fit into what she needs to feed her changelings) forming a temporary alliance with the Mane 5 and the Legion of Not So Evil to bring back Amore (with the possibility of Hope sacrificing herself via her healing magic to do so) and which Amore then reseals Sombra and the Umbrum to the shadow prison, likely herself having to go there to assure the seal stays.

@Psyga315  
Somehow, I don’t think Sombra would agree with that perspective.

This is the final part of this clusterfuck, right?

You’d think with all the queens and princesses, the show’d have an enemy with the “Empress” title by now.

@OptimusPrimevil  
Headcanon confirmed.
 
I already have the headcanon that the Element of Magic is Satsui no Hadou incarnate, so it works

@Psyga315  
twilight used satsui no hadou, but she failed.

@FanOfMostEverything  
I thought we agreed that the Crystal Empire was just a puppet government to Equestria, hence why they sent one of their own to lord over it.

To be fair, Twily, you did kind of fire your beam with full killing intent.

Point of order: Twilight isn’t a citizen of the Empire. She can’t commit treason.
 
Of course, the IDW writers have made it clear that they don’t exactly have law degrees…

@Jades  
everybody ships something

@OptimusPrimevil
 
The idea of the Umbrum being shippers is hilarious.

@OptimusPrimevil  
I guess they’re a forgiving lot.
 
Also, counter-brainwashing is a crime in the new empire.

@PonyPon  
the umbrum ships them?

Empress Hope, eh?

Already spoiler for it?
 
Damn I love design of umbrum
