The next morning comes and Walker, Runner, and Sprinter have breakfast,
"Where's Princess Cadence?" Walker asked,
"She went home shortly after you went to bed." Runner replied, Walker looks down,
"She'll be back here, Walker, she's bringing Shining Armor and Flurry Heart here today." Sprinter said, and he serves salad as breakfast, Walker eats it and he heads outside with his guardians.
Walker and his guardians arrive outside and they hear loud conversations of excitement, they soon hear the train arrive, the three see Princess Cadence come with Shining Armor and Flurry Heart,
"Wow, it's more surprising in person than I thought." Shining Armor said,
"Over here, it's those three that brought them here." Princess Cadence said, and they trot to Walker, Runner, and Sprinter,
"Hello, it's nice to meet you three." Shining Armor said,
"Where's Sunburst?" Walker asked,
"He actually chose not to come." Princess Cadence replied, Flurry Heart makes noises of excitement and flies to the souls of the dead, she tries to grab them and play with them but she goes through them, she looks back with surprise,
"It's no use, Flurry Heart, you're just going to go through them." Walker said, Flurry Heart looks down and groans,
"Well, I'm ready, Spirit, I'm ready for those first three creatures Walker, Runner, and Sprinter met to be brought here." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Very well, give me a minute." Spirit replied,
"Um, Spirit, can I ask you something?" Fluttershy asked,
"Yes?" Spirit asked,
"Are Walker, Runner, and Sprinter the only ones who knew of your realm before showing up here?" Fluttershy asked,
"No, there is one other person in this town who knows of the Void and the souls of the dead." Spirit replied,
"That would be...?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Discord." Spirit replied, Twilight Sparkle hunches over with a scowl on her face,
"Of course he would know." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Well, aside from the obvious, Zecora knows about the afterlife as well." Spirit said, the others attentions were caught,
"Now that you mention it, where is Zecora?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Yeah, she hasn't been around recently." Applejack replied,
"Um, are Discord and Zecora the only ones besides those three who know about your realm, Spirit?" Princess Celestia asked,
"No, there are several ponies and others outside Equestria who know about my realm." Spirit replied,
"Name them." Princess Celestia said,
"Mother Nature, Janis, Demonicus, Daylight Dimmer, Starburn, and Arcana." Spirit replied, the others look and see Princess Celestia was a little speechless,
"Do you know them, Princess Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Yes, besides Daylight Dimmer and Starburn, I know all of them." Princess Celestia replied,
"I know Janis, he was Princess Platinum's court wizard, Celestia and I were good friends with him when we were fillies." Princess Luna said,
"Yes, Janis is still around." Spirit replied,
"What?" Princess Luna asked,
"But Janis died years ago." Princess Celestia said,
"True, but his soul received pure salvation, and he was reincarnated, he was called back to this world to catch a criminal who received pure salvation in his first life, but then continued to do bad things afterwards, Janis was reincarnated throughout history and just caught him recently." Spirit replied,
"But he won't remember us." Princess Luna said,
"Janis was an exception, his memories were kept intact so he can remember what the bad pony he was after looked like, he has been reincarnated in this time as well, his name is now Tao, you'll recognize him by his birthmarks." Spirit replied,
"Birthmarks?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Yes, if someone is killed and reincarnated, that birthmark they're born with is the wound that killed them in their previous life." Spirit replied, and three portals soon open and everybody looks at them,
"*gasp* Look, other worlds!" Silverstream said with excitement, everybody looks and they can see the other worlds through the portals,
"The name of the worlds are under the portals." Runner said, everybody looks and sees the left portal led to Aerostia, the center portal led to Yomi, and the right portal led to Chrysaor,
"Well, let's bring them." Sprinter said, and he goes to Yomi while Runner goes to Aerostia and Walker goes to Chrysaor. Everybody looks at the worlds and see the places, Aerostia had white and gold architecture with yellow lights, bronze orbs with yellow lights on them, gold statues everywhere, everybody sees the statues of the creatures were bipedal, they had four feathered wings on their backs, ears similar to hippogriff ears, and hair on their heads,
"Are those the statues of the world's natives?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"We'll see eventually." Princess Luna replied, and they keep looking, they see Aerostia had all of its land floating in the air, the houses were made from white stones with gold decorations,
"Wow, a lot of bright colors." Sunset Shimmer said, the others nod, they all go to look at Chrysaor next, but all they see were three paths made of gray dirt, the path in front of them was straight, the path to the left went uphill, and the path to the right went downhill,
"What is this?" Rarity asked,
"Looks boring." Pinkie Pie said,
"There's something on the ground, though." Fluttershy replied, they all look and see etchings on the paths, the left path had a green tornado etched on it, the right path had a blue water drop etched on it, and the center path had a yellow rock etched on it,
"They seem to resemble some kind of cultural belief." Princess Luna said, everybody then looks into Yomi, everybody sees the world was dark red and black, Fluttershy whimpers,
"That place looks scary." Fluttershy said, they all look and see two black statues and they look,
"Are those statues of ponies?" Princess Cadence asked,
"Yeah, they do look like pony statues." Twilight Sparkle replied, and they all look and soon see Walker, Runner, and Sprinter coming with the natives. Walker, Runner, and Sprinter come back with the natives of Aerostia, Chrysaor, and Yomi. Walker, Runner, and Sprinter come back to Equestria with the natives of the three worlds, the natives of Aerostia were bipedal, they had gray skin, four black feathered wings on their backs, ears similar to a hippogriff's, black hair on their heads, and silver bladed boomerangs on their sides, the natives of Chrysaor were bipedal, they had bat-like wings on their backs, a thick tail with two fish fins on the end coming out of their coccyges, and were all wearing dull gray armor, so their faces were not seen, but there were holes for their eyes', they all had three eyes with the third eye on their foreheads, the natives of Yomi were also bipedal, there were two types, one had dark red skin and orange monochromatic eyes, while the other had light blue skin and purple monochromatic eyes, they were all muscular and had two black horns that curved upwards on the sides of their heads, and four fangs protruding from their mouths, they were all shirtless and wore black pants with gray metal plates on them, and black mid-calf length boots. Everybody looks on with surprise at what they see,
"So this is your home, Sprinter?" a red native from Yomi asked,
"Yes." Sprinter replied, the creatures look around,
"It's a bit different from how I imagined it." a female native from Chrysaor said, they look and see the other ponies,
"Hmm, Walker did mention there were three different types of his species." a female native from Aerostia said,
"Four, actually." Twilight Sparkle replied as she walks to them,
"Hi, I am Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Princess of Friendship?" a blue native from Yomi asked, the other natives from Yomi begin to snicker,
"Hey." Twilight Sparkle said as she looks at them, they stop snickering after a few seconds,
"I think Walker talked about them in class one day." Sweetie Belle said,
"Wait, he did?" Applejack asked,
"Yeah, he mentioned meeting creatures called harpies, vulcans, and onis." Scootaloo replied,
"Ah, so you do know about us, we are the harpies, natives of Aerostia." a female native from Aerostia said as she bows in midair,
"We all the vulcans, natives of Chrysaor." a male native from Chrysaor said,
"Call us what you wish." a blue oni said,
"Well, I'm glad you all are here, our job is to spread friendship far and wide." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Runner already filled us on the information." a male harpy replied,
"Oh, then I assume you all know why you're here, then." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Princess Twilight, I'm going to warn you now, these three are not as accepting with friendship or forgiveness like how the natives of this world are." Walker said,
"Don't worry, I'm sure we got this, I had Spike inform the other creatures to come here and meet them." Twilight Sparkle replied, she turns her attention to the harpies, vulcans, and onis,
"Well, make yourselves at home, it is an honor to meet you all." Twilight Sparkle said, and she lets the harpies, vulcans, and onis look around. The harpies, vulcans, and onis look around Ponyville and a female harpy flies to Sprinter,
"I missed you so much, Sprinter." the female harpy said,
"I missed you, too, Alexia." Sprinter replied, and four female vulcans then go to him, he hugs all four of them,
"Hi, Sprinter." one female vulcan said,
"Hello, Diana, you too, Athena, Hera, and Echidna." Sprinter replied, Walker restrains his laughter while Runner groans with his front right hoof on his forehead,
"Wait, don't tell me, are they...?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Yup, more of my granddad's ex-girlfriends." Walker replied, the female ponies, Ocellus, Smolder, Yona, and Silverstream exclaim and look at Sprinter with shock, Walker sees Rarity seethe and then begins to growl. Sprinter finishes greeting his five ex-girlfriends and he faces forward and sees Princess Cadence in front of him and glaring at him,
"What?" Sprinter asked,
"You dated in the other worlds, too?" Sprinter asked,
"Yeah, why?" Sprinter asked,
"Why didn't you have one true love like your son?" Princess Cadence asked,
"I didn't meet a girl I could love my entire life like how Runner did." Sprinter replied,
"Is this your current girlfriend, Sprinter?" Alexia asked,
"No, not at all, basically, she's my grandson's babysitter." Sprinter replied,
"Why's it a big deal to you?" Echidna asked,
"Because she's the Princess of Love." Walker replied,
"What kind of love?" a red oni asked,
"Wait, what?" Walker asked,
"Physical love or emotional love?" a blue oni asked,
"I represent both." Princess Cadence replied,
"Oh, well, it was physical for us." Alexia said,
"Yeah, us too." Echidna said,
"How old were you when you dated these five, Sprinter?" Princess Cadence asked,
"Well, I wouldn't call it dating, I was four years old, these five were little kids, too." Sprinter replied,
"Oh, my apologies, I genuinely thought you were dating random girls in the other worlds." Princess Cadence said,
"A lot of girls had crushes on me in their worlds." Sprinter replied,
"Really?" Princess Cadence asked,
"Oh yes, almost all of the females of our species were infatuated with him." a red oni replied,
"How did you all fall in love with him?" Princess Cadence asked,
"I thought he was handsome and muscular, and we just came together like that." Alexia replied,
"That's we grew to like him, too." Hera said,
"It was his fighting prowess and skills that made the females of our kind fall for him." a blue oni said,
"Oh." Princess Cadence said,
"Isn't that why you fell in love with Shining Armor?" Walker asked,
"No, I fell for him because of his love for his family and his kind personality." Princess Cadence replied,
"I see, so different from us." a blue oni said,
"Alright, I think you all had enough time, come with me now, it's time for you all to learn our ways." Twilight Sparkle said, and everybody follows her.
Twilight Sparkle leads everybody to in front of the School of Friendship and she stands across from everyone with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack,
"Alright, everyone, the others will be here soon, so while we wait, I'd like to know about your cultures." Twilight Sparkle said, Walker holds his front hoofs up and moves them around to tell Twilight Sparkle not to ask them that, they remain silent,
"Um, aren't you all going to share your cultures?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Princess Twilight, you can't do that, the harpies and onis are not just going to accept you like that." Walker replied,
"Oh, well, what do I have to do, then?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"You have to prove yourself in combat." Runner replied,
"Wait a minute, what did you just say?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"For you to be accepted by the harpies and onis, you have to fight them." Sprinter replied,
"What about the vulcans?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Well, they're friendly, but they're not just going to share their ways with you, you're a stranger to them." Walker replied,
"Well, why don't you all share your culture then?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"We'll need to speak with our ruler first." a male child vulcan replied,
"Where is he?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"That's weird, Elder Hephaestus should be here." Walker said,
"Who are the rulers of the harpies and the onis?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"We do not have a ruler." a male harpy replied,
"What?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"It is a part of their culture, all harpies rule together, it goes with a belief in their culture." Runner replied,
"What belief?" Princess Celestia asked,
"One who rules over others is a sign of arrogance." Alexia replied,
"What?" Princess Luna asked,
"Wait, please explain, I do not understand." Princess Celestia said,
"One who chooses to rule over their people is considered arrogance in their culture, those people are also considered to have superiority complexes." Sprinter replied,
"Whoa, hold on a minute, how is that arrogant?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"You rule over others, don't you?" a male harpy asked,
"Yeah, duh." Rainbow Dash replied,
"That is arrogant, people who rule over their own species look down upon them." the male harpy said,
"Then how do you all run your world?" Shining Armor asked,
"We all come together and vote, majority rules, everybody has a say." a female harpy replied,
"But who is the ruler of your world?" Princess Luna asked,
"All of us are the rulers." another female harpy replied, the ponies murmur,
"Wait, I think I get it, in their culture, it is considered unfair if one person ruled over them." Starlight Glimmer said,
"Not just one person, anyone with more power or authority than another is unacceptable." another male harpy replied,
"Oh, well, I'm sorry to say this, but Celestia, Luna, Cadence, and I rule over all of Equestria." Twilight Sparkle said,
"How arrogant." another male harpy replied,
"No, it's not, we have to earn our titles by doing a princess worthy deed." Princess Cadence said,
"You all should be ruling together, not having these four telling you all what to do." Alexia said, the ponies look on with surprise at what she said,
"What about you vulcans, how did this Elder Hephaestus become the ruler?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"His parents were the previous Elders." Hera replied,
"How did they become rulers?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Through intelligence, they actually managed to create spells to undo spirits possessing our natives and fauna." Athena replied,
"Wait, did you all say a spell to stop spirits from possessing you guys?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Yes, the Possessed and Undead are abundant in our world." Diana replied,
"Skeletons are common, too, you won't believe how many there are." Walker said,
"Oh, I see. Who is the ruler of you onis?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Champion Lucius." a blue oni replied,
"How do you all choose your ruler?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"Through battle." a red oni replied,
"Wait. Battle?" Princess Luna asked,
"Whoever kills him will be our next ruler." another red oni replied,
"What?!" Rarity asked,
"Are y'all sayin' that there is no family line for heirs?" Applejack asked,
"Nope, they live by a survival of the fittest belief, the strongest oni will be the next ruler." Sprinter replied, the others look on with shock,
"How are you all okay with that?" Princess Luna asked,
"The weak and defenseless have no place in our species." another red oni replied,
"How do you all know who is weak and who is strong?" Princess Celestia asked,
"The onis train for combat from birth, the children are put against adults to test their fighting skills." Sprinter replied,
"That sounds pretty fun." Smolder said, the onis snicker and smile at her. The train was heard and everybody sees Princess Ember, Grampa Gruff, Prince Rutherford, King Thorax, and General Seaspray arrive,
"Oh good, they're here." Twilight Sparkle said, they all look and see the five were in awe at seeing the souls of the dead,
"Whoa, I've never seen these before." Princess Ember said,
"I must admit, it is intriguing to see such a sight." General Seaspray said,
"Come on, let's go see the others." King Thorax said, and they go. The five visitors go to Twilight Sparkle and see the harpies, vulcans, and onis,
"Good, I'm glad you five made it, we have new creatures thanks to these three ponies here." Twilight Sparkle said, they look at Walker, Runner, and Sprinter,
"Yak demand reason for light blue see-through ponies." Prince Rutherford said,
"Um, you see, Walker family made deal with being named Spirit, so Walker and males from father side of family can see dead souls." Yona replied,
"Yeah, I performed a spell to see and hear the world how Walker sees and hears it, since he was acting weird and disappearing sometimes." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Seeing these dead souls is actually kind of scaring me." King Thorax replied,
"Eh, they're still just people." Grampa Gruff said,
"Anyway, now that they're here, I need to see Elder Hephaestus and Champion Lucius, please." Twilight Sparkle said,
"You need to prove yourself in combat to the onis first." Sprinter replied,
"Is that true?" Twilight Sparkle asked, the onis nod, Walker looks back and sees Elder Hephaestus has not arrived,
"Hold on, I'll go check on Chrysaor." Walker said, and he trots to the portal that leads to the world, but he stops when a vulcan comes out of it, the two walk to where the others were at and everybody saw the vulcan, he was wearing gold armor instead of a dull gray one,
"I apologize for my lateness, I was busy praying to the gods of my culture, I am Elder Hephaestus, ruler of Chrysaor." the vulcan in gold armor said,
"It's alright, Elder Hephaestus, my name is Twilight Sparkle, Princess of Friendship." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Yes, Walker already filled me in on the details." Elder Hephaestus replied,
"Alright, now that everycreature is here, I am ready to teach friendship to you all." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Princess Twilight, remember, you have to prove yourself in combat to the harpies and onis first." Runner replied,
"Right, let's get those over with." Twilight Sparkle said, and she looks at the harpies,
"Let's prove ourselves to the harpies first." Twilight Sparkle said, and a male harpy flies forward,
"I am Adetokunbo, I will be your opponent, our fights have rules." the harpy said,
"No hitting your opponent when they're injured or incapacitated, no using any special powers you have, no changing your weapons, no hits to the eyes, no hits to the groin, no body breaking attacks, and most of all, no running away, all of them are punishable by death." Alexia said,
"Wow, I didn't think they'd take it that seriously." Sandbar said,
"Me neither." Ocellus replied,
"I have fought Walker, Runner, and Sprinter in the past, all three have beaten me before, so I will need a different opponent this time." Adetokunbo said,
"Um, why exactly do we have to fight for?" Fluttershy asked,
"Your true selves are revealed through combat." Adetokunbo replied,
"Ha, leave this one to me." Rainbow Dash said, and she flies forward.
Rainbow Dash flies towards Adetokunbo while he takes the bladed boomerangs off of his thighs, a female harpy gives her boomerangs to Rainbow Dash, she tries to hold the two,
"Can you hold them?" Adetokunbo asked, Rainbow Dash holds the boomerangs,
"I'm ready." Rainbow Dash said, and the two were ready to fight,
"Ready. Set. Fight!" a female harpy said, and the two fight. Adetokunbo throws both of his boomerangs and they fly in the air, Rainbow Dash smirks and she simply turns to her sides to dodge the boomerangs,
"Ha! Huh?" Rainbow Dash said as she turns around since she hears the boomerangs in the air, she sees them turn around and coming back towards her. Rainbow Dash screams when she saw the boomerangs were homing on her and flies around in an attempt to outfly the boomerangs, the harpies look on with surprise at how fast Rainbow Dash can fly,
"I have seen such speed." a female harpy said,
"Neither have I." another female harpy said, Rainbow Dash continues to fly around to try to outfly the boomerangs chasing her, she turns around and sees they were still flying towards her, she holds her front hoofs over her own face when she saw them coming near her, they cut her front forelegs and she screams while the boomerangs went back into Adetokunbo's hands. Rainbow Dash pants and faces Adetokunbo, he throws the boomerangs again and Rainbow Dash decides to try throwing her boomerangs this time, they hit Adetokunbo's boomerangs out of the air and all four of them fall onto the ground. Adetokunbo flies down to get his boomerangs but Rainbow Dash flies faster and gets all her boomerangs first, she throws them at Adetokunbo, but he holds his arms up and catches them in midair,
"Huh?" Rainbow Dash asked, Adetokunbo throws the boomerangs at her, she tries to catch them but they graze her front hoofs, she grunts loudly from the cuts, they turn around in midair and home on Rainbow Dash, she focuses and catches them with her feathers, she smiles and throws them at Adetokunbo, he throws his boomerangs and they were knocked out of the air again. Rainbow Dash flies to Adetokunbo and tries to tackle him, but he pulls her off and throws her away from himself, she flies even faster to him and tackles him to the ground. Rainbow Dash proceeds to punch Adetokunbo in the face, but he grabs her front hoofs and headbutts her, she grunts and he then kicks her off of himself with his right foot. Rainbow Dash pants and stands on her hind legs since her front legs hurt,
"Can you continue?" Adetokunbo asked,
"You're darn right I can." Rainbow Dash replied and pants heavily, she flies up and tackles Adetokunbo in his chest, he grunts, he falls to his knees and pants,
"Alright, you win." Adetokunbo said, the ponies cheer while Rainbow Dash smiles and poses,
"You're just as fair and honorable as Runner and Walker, we shall try your ways." Adetokunbo said, the ponies cheer,
"Alright, now you all have to prove yourselves to the onis." Walker said,
"Um, I'll sit that one out, I need to recover." Rainbow Dash replied, and she walks back. Everybody looks and they see a red oni and a blue oni were ready to fight, they all look and see the red oni had a big black mace in his right hand while the blue oni had a straight sabre with a silver blade and a gray guard and handle in his left hand, the two also had a sword sheathed on their backs,
"I'll handle this one." Princess Ember said as she walks to them,
"Um, you can have people help you in your fight against them." Walker said,
"It's alright, I don't think I'll need it." Princess Ember replied, and the onis back away while the red oni and the blue oni were ready to fight Princess Ember.
The red oni and the blue oni begin to run to Princess Ember's sides, she notices the blue oni was a lot faster than the red oni, he tries to slash and stab her with his sabre, she dodges each one while watching him, the red oni goes behind her and was about to hit in the head with his mace, she sees the mace's shadow and she flies to her right, she turns around and breathes fire out of her mouth. Princess Ember looks on and sees the blue oni grunt while he endures the fire while the red oni was unaffected by it, surprising her, the blue oni quickly recovers and the two begin trying to hit her with their weapons, the red oni tries to hit her in the head with his mace and Princess Ember ducks under his right arm and goes behind him, the blue oni goes around the red oni and manages to stab his sabre into the right side of Princess Ember's neck, shocking the world's natives. Princess Ember looks and sees her scales protected her from getting cut by the sabre,
"Hey, look at that, it can't cut me." Princess Ember said, the blue oni strafes to his right and begins trying to slash and stab Princess Ember's underbelly, she grunts when he lands several cuts and stabs in her underbelly, he was about to stab her again, but Princess Ember catches the sabre's blade with her hands and holds him back, the red oni goes behind her and hits her on the top of her head with his mace, she grunts and falls onto the ground. The two onis begin to kick and stomp on Princess Ember and she grunts, she notices while the blue oni's kicks and stomps only hurt a little, the red oni's kicks and stomps hurt a lot, she growls and crawls away, but the red oni stomps onto Princess Ember's tail with his right boot, she exclaims in pain and falls over, she growls and sees the two onis running to her had their weapons ready and were ready to attack her with her weapons, she sees the red oni was about to hit her head with his mace, so she quickly flies up into the air,
"Ha, can't get me now, can you?" Princess Ember asked, the two onis look at one another and snicker,
"What's so funny?" Princess Ember asked, the red oni swings his mace in a diagonal direction, the mace stretches out and everybody sees white bones between the black pieces of the mace, he hits Princess Ember on the left side of her head and she grunts as she falls onto the ground,
"What?! That thing's also a whip?!" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Looks like it, but look at the whip, it looks like it's made out of bones and tendrils." Twilight Sparkle replied, Princess Ember stands up before the two onis can go to her and attack her while she was down, the red oni swings his mace-whip hybrid weapon and there was orange fire on it, Princess Ember flies back but looks on with shock when she sees an orange wave of fire come out of the weapon and it hits her, it sets her on fire, but did not do anything,
"Looks like your fire's not going to work on me." Princess Ember said,
"So the red guy can use fire magic, huh?" Smolder asked,
"Ooh, I know, since the red one uses fire magic, maybe the blue one uses ice magic." Silverstream said, the blue oni does a diagonal slash and Princess Ember sees a purple wave coming to her,
"Um, that doesn't look like ice magic." Sandbar said, Princess Ember screams and she was electrocuted,
"Wait a minute, that's not ice, that's lightning." Ocellus said,
"I see, so the red onis can use fire magic, and the blue onis can use lightning magic." Starlight Glimmer said,
"Maybe ice spells can counter them." Twilight Sparkle replied, Princess Ember grunts while she stands in place,
"I... I can't move." Princess Ember said with her mouth stuck in place, shocking the world's natives, the red oni swings his mace-whip hybrid weapon down and hits her in the head, she grunts and falls onto the ground, the mace-whip hybrid weapon hits the ground and an explosion of orange fire comes out and leaves a crater in the ground. Princess Ember growls as she stands up, the blue oni does several stabs with his sabre and sends purple circles of electricity towards Princess Ember, she flies up and dodges them, the red oni swings his mace-whip hybrid weapon again and Princess Ember grabs two of the bones that made up the whip. Princess Ember pulls the weapon forward and it brings the red oni towards her and into the air, but she looks on with shock when she sees his boots coming to her and he kicks her in the face with them, she grunts and falls onto the ground. Princess Ember growls as she gets up and she sees the red oni land on the ground with his feet and the blue oni jumps towards her and was about to stab his sabre into her neck, Princess Ember flies to her right and the sabre stabs into the ground, Princess Ember slams her left fist onto the blade and breaks it. The blue oni tries to stab her with his broken sabre but she flies away and she sees him hold the broke piece of the blade in his left hand with a reverse grip style,
"Wow, I didn't think he would do that." Twilight Sparkle said,
"What'd ya mean, Twi?" Applejack asked,
"I thought he would just leave his sword there." Twilight Sparkle replied, the blue oni swings his arms around randomly and sends purple waves of lightning towards Princess Ember, she breathes fire on him and he grunts while it stuns him briefly, she flies to him and tackles him while he was about to try to stab the broken tip of his sabre into her, she gets the two pieces of his sabre and throws them to her right. The red oni swings his mace-whip hybrid weapon and Princess Ember grabs it again and pulls on it, the two enter a tug of war, the red oni pulls his weapon back a bit and then lets go to try to make the handle hit Princess Ember, but she grabs it and pulls his weapon apart and breaks it and throws it back. The two onis reach the weapons on their backs with their right hands and unsheathe them, the blue oni takes out a curved katana, the blade was about twenty five inches long while the handle was about ten inches long, and the red oni takes out a big broadsword, it was about sixty six inches long, twelve inches wide, and double-edged, scaring Princess Ember and the natives. The blue oni swings the katana around and sends purple waves of lightning towards Princess Ember, she flies around to dodge them but one hits her and paralyzes her, she grunts as she falls onto the ground, the red oni swings the broadsword down and hits Princess Ember in the back, she screams while an explosion of orange fire came out,
"Hmm?" the red oni asked, the smoke clears and he sees his sword could not cut through her scales, she stands up and faces them, the two onis hold their swords diagonally as if they were blocking, the two growl and an orange explosion appears around the red oni while a purple explosion appears around the blue oni. Princess Ember and the others look on and the smoke clears, the red oni now had orange fire around himself while the blue oni had purple lightning around himself, the red oni swings his broadsword around his own head and Princess Ember ducks to dodge it, he swings it down and Princess Ember jumps to her right and sees the ground get cut, she looks on with shock when she realizes he was even stronger than before, she sees the blue oni swings his katana in diagonal directions and sends more purple waves of lightning towards her, she flies up and was shocked to see he was even faster,
"Wait, that makes them even harder?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Yeah, the red one's stronger than before, and the blue one's faster." Applejack replied,
"That's not fair, how did Walker, Runner, and Sprinter win against them?" Rainbow Dash asked, the red oni swings his broadsword down and another explosion appears in the ground, an orange wave of fire goes forward and hits Princess Ember and a second explosion happens. Princess Ember looks around and hears lightning crackling in front of her, she sees the blue oni coming at her through the smoke, he runs around her and tries to cut her right armpit with his katana, but her scales protect her, he goes behind and holds his katana out to cut her while he runs around, Princess Ember grabs his right wrist with her right hand and slams her left fist onto his wrist, he loses his grip on the katana and Princess Ember takes it and breaks it into pieces and throws them away, she then punches the blue oni in his left jaw with her right fist and he falls over. The smoke clears and the red oni swings his broadsword around his head again, Princess Ember flies to and he holds the sword in front of himself to block her, she flies around it and kicks him in the back of his neck with both of her feet and he falls over and drops the sword, Princess Ember grunts while she picks it up and throws it away, the unicorns use their telekinesis to carry it and put it down. Princess Ember pants while she walks away but the two onis get up, she turns around and the two run to her, the red oni punches her in her right jaw with his right fist while the blue oni goes behind her and hits her in her back with his left knee, she grunts and falls over, she looks and sees the two onis had their fists raised,
"Wow, them onis sure are persistent." Applejack said,
"Yeah, I sure am glad I didn't choose to fight them." Rainbow Dash replied, Princess Ember growls and tries to stand up, but the red oni kicks her in her abdomen with his right foot, she grunts and falls over, the two were about to start stomping and kicking her again, but Princess Ember grabs their feet and throws them over herself, she stands up with the two onis. The blue oni runs towards her and begins punching and kicking her, her scales protect her,
"Wow, I barely feel anything." Princess Ember said, the red oni punches her in her right jaw with his left fist, she grunts as she falls over and slides across the ground, putting a hole in it,
"So that's how you want to do it." Princess Ember said while she stood up with her fists raised. The two onis run to her, she was ready to fight back, but the two go around her and begin punching her in her blind spots, she grunts from each punch the red oni landed on her face and neck, she ducks and punches the two in their abdomens, the blue oni grunts while the red oni did not flinch, he punches her again with his left fist and she grunts while she falls over. Princess Ember quickly gets up and sees the blue oni jump in the air, he tries to do a downwards knifehand strike to her face, Princess Ember blocks it with her right forearm, the red oni goes behind her and grabs her wrists and holds her arms out, he jumps up and kicks Princess Ember in her scapulae with his feet, she screams and he lets go to make her fall. Princess Ember pants and the blue oni tries to choke her with his arms, Princess Ember moves her arms and was able to move his arms off of herself, she kicks him in his abdomen and he grunts and falls over. Princess Ember rolls over and gets up, the red oni goes to her right blind spot and was about to thrust the claws of his left hand into the side of her neck, she sees him and ducks, she hears the blue oni running behind her, she looks over her own right shoulder and sees the blue oni was about to punch her in the back of her head with his right fist. Princess Ember quickly turns around and ducks under his fist, she raises back up and punches him in the face with her right fist, he grunts and tries to punch her with his left fist, she ducks again and punches him in the face with her left fist, he grunts and still stands his ground. The red oni punches Princess Ember in her abdomen with his left fist and she grunts, but she endures it and sees the blue oni thrust his arms forward and tries to stab his claws into her, Princess Ember flies back and he stops after sometime, she does a hard punch with her right fist and hits him in the face, he grunts and falls, he was on his knees and did not move, the world's natives smile. Princess Ember focuses on the red oni and sees him trying to punch her with his right fist, she ducks to dodge it and then rises back up and punches him in the face with her right fist, he did not flinch, he tries to punch her with his left fist and Princess Ember ducks, she rises back up and punches him in the face with his left fist, he did not flinch, Princess Ember looks at him with shock and he snickers at her, the world's natives were shocked as well. The red oni pokes the middle and index claws of his right hand into Princess Ember's eyes and she screams while covering them, she looks and sees him coming again to attack her more, he tries to punch her several times and Princess Ember moves back to dodge him, he was easier to dodge than the blue oni since he was slower. Princess Ember gets an idea and grabs his fists when he tried to punch her again, she flies up and lets go of him, she flies up higher and moves back when he tries to grab her feet, he falls onto the ground and leaves a crater, he tries to stand and falls to his knees.
Princess Ember pants heavily as she flies down and the world's natives cheer, she looks and sees the onis were silent,
"What? Upset I won?" Princess Ember asked,
"The fight's not over yet." a blue oni replied,
"What?! How long is this?!" Princess Ember asked,
"It's a fight to the death." Sprinter replied,
"What?! So, in order for me to win...?" Princess Ember asked,
"You have to kill them." Runner replied, shocking the world's natives,
"Go on, if you don't, the two will recover and start attacking you again." Walker said, shocking Princess Ember,
"Is that true?" Princess Ember asked, the two onis nod, she stands still for a minute and sighs,
"Alright." Princess Ember said, and she walks behind them slowly and snaps the blue oni's neck with her hands, she snaps the neck of the red oni next, the two fall and their souls appear, which Sprinter absorb.
Princess Ember limps back while panting heavily and falls to the ground,
"Well, she has won, we'll be willing to cooperate with you all." a red oni said, everybody was silent,
"Okay, I'd like to speak with Champion Lucius, then." Twilight Sparkle said, a tornado of red fire and blue lightning appears between the red onis and the blue onis, it disappears and Champion Lucius appears, some of the world's natives were scared by his appearance, he had two black horns that curved upwards on the sides of his head, white teeth with four big fangs, his skin was a very dark purple, he was more muscular and toned than the other onis, he had a six pack just like all of the other male onis, he also had white monochromatic eyes, he was shirtless just like all of the other oni, his pants were black, and he wore black mid-calf length combat boots just like the rest of the oni, but his entire pants was covered in bones, so were his boots, he had black knee pads on which had an oni skull on them, he had black elbow pads with an oni skull on them as well, all four of those skulls had bones carved and shaped to resemble their horns, along with black gauntlets that were fingerless to expose his claws, they were covered with bones as well, and covered his hands and lower half of his forearms. Champion Lucius stands up straight and he was taller than all of the other onis,
"Twilight Sparkle, I see you have finally found out about the afterlife, even though it took you so long." Champion Lucius said,
"Hey." Twilight Sparkle said,
"*chuckle* Nevertheless, your world has proven worthy as fighters, I will have my subjects share their cultures with you." Champion Lucius said,
"You better, winning against those two wasn't easy." Princess Ember replied,
"Yes, Torch must be proud of his daughter right now." Champion Lucius said,
"How do you know about my father?" Princess Ember asked,
"There is little you can hide from me." Champion Lucius replied,
"I bet you're bluffing." Grampa Gruff said,
"Am I now, Grampa Gruff?" Champion Lucius asked,
"I think you are as well." King Thorax said,
"I wonder if you will think that way after Queen Chrysalis launches her next attack." Champion Lucius replied,
"Anyway, let's focus on the task at hoof, I'm ready to spread friendship even farther and wider." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Yes, perhaps you will learn something as well." Champion Lucius replied,
"Just want to learn other cultures and tolerate others." Twilight Sparkle said, the onis chuckle,
"Very well, I'll be watching." Champion Lucius replied, and he disappears with an explosion of red fire and blue lightning appearing.
The harpies, vulcans, and onis go to Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Applejack,
"New creatures welcome party!" Pinkie Pie said, and a party begins, the harpies, vulcans, and onis look around and see the cuisine,
"What is that big thing there, Walker?" Alexia asked,
"That's called cake, we make them for special occasions." Walker replied,
"Cake, you say?" Elder Hephaestus asked,
"What about that there?" a male vulcan asked while he pointed at the item of interest,
"That's ice cream, also for special occasions." Runner replied,
"What? You all don't know what cake and ice cream are?" Pinkie Pie asked,
"They don't have it in their worlds." Sprinter replied,
"What do you guys usually eat?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Meat and seeds." Adetokunbo replied, the world's natives gag,
"You harpies eat meat?!" Rarity asked,
"We do as well." Elder Hephaestus replied,
"What about you onis?" Twilight Sparkle asked, they nod,
"What else do you all eat?" Fluttershy asked,
"Nothing, just meat." a male vulcan replied,
"Us too." a red oni said, shocking the ponies, they see another red oni bring the two onis Princess Ember killed to her,
"What?" Princess Ember asked,
"Your spoils from the battle." the red oni replied,
"So?" Princess Ember asked,
"Aren't you going to eat them?" the red oni asked,
"What?! No! Us dragons don't eat meat." Princess Ember replied,
"Shame, you look like you would." the red oni said,
"No, my kind eats gemstones." Princess Ember replied, the red oni looks at Gallus and Grampa Gruff,
"What about you birds?" the red oni asked, Gallus and Grampa Gruff shake their heads,
"Do any of you eat meat?" the red oni asked, everybody else shakes their heads,
"Alright, I guess it's ours then." the red oni said, and he carries the two dead onis to his kind,
"Anyway, let's start, I will begin teaching you all about friendship, let's start, you go first, Pinkie Pie." Twilight Sparkle said, and Pinkie Pie hops to them.
Pinkie Pie hops to the harpies, vulcans, and onis,
"Hello, new creatures, I brought things for you all to have fun with." Pinkie Pie said, and she pulls them out of her mane, they were board games. The ponies show the harpies, vulcans, and onis how to play, they try them,
"This isn't fun." a male vulcan said,
"What?" Pinkie Pie asked,
"I agree, these are boring." Alexia replied,
"There's more." Pinkie Pie said,
"Like what?" a blue oni asked,
"Party cannon!" Pinkie Pie replied, and it fires, the harpies, vulcans, and onis just watch,
"I know, how about opening a piñata? Smacking it with the stick until it breaks and the candy falls out." Pinkie Pie said, and she gets one hooked up, it looked just like her. Alexia tries first and she hits the piñata with the stick, she stops after a few hits,
"This isn't really that fun." Alexia said, a red oni walks to it and punches it with his right fist, the piñata breaks open and it flies away with the candy falling out,
"No, you have to beat it open with the stick." Pinkie Pie said, and she gets another one. A female vulcan tries and she breaks it open with one hit, Pinkie Pie gets another one and a blue oni hits the piñata multiple times and it breaks,
"Wasn't that fun?" Pinkie Pie asked, the harpies, vulcans, and onis shake their heads, Pinkie Pie stops smiling,
"What do you all do for fun?" Pinkie Pie asked,
"Um..." the harpies said,
"All we do are plays." Echidna said,
"Plays? As in...?" Pinkie Pie asked,
"Theatre arts." Walker replied,
"Ooh, we have plays, too." Sweetie Belle said,
"Well, that's about all we do for fun." Hera said,
"That's all?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Pretty much, we are a busy species." a male vulcan replied,
"What do you onis do for fun?" Spike asked,
"Fight to the death." a blue oni replied, everybody becomes shocked and speechless,
"That's not fun." Pinkie Pie said,
"It is to us." a red oni replied,
"No fights to the death in my country." Princess Celestia said,
"You might enjoy it." another blue oni replied,
"I said no." Princess Celestia said,
"Do you all have holidays?" Pinkie Pie asked,
"Um, holiday?" a female harpy asked,
"A day of celebration every year." Walker replied,
"Oh, no." the female harpy said, the vulcans and onis shake their heads,
"No holidays?" Pinkie Pie asked,
"Well, we do have celebrations sometimes, but it's only for that day." a blue oni replied,
"Not once in a year?" Pinkie Pie asked, the onis shake their heads,
"Okay, let's try something else, you're up, Applejack." Twilight Sparkle said, and she walks forward.
Applejack walks forward and puts a bucket of apples down,
"Here y'all go, try an apple, Ah'm sure y'all know what an apple is." Applejack said, the harpies, vulcans, and onis shake their heads,
"What? Y'all don't know what apples are?" Apple Bloom asked,
"Actually, their worlds don't have any fruits of any kind in them." Runner replied,
"Say what now?" Applejack asked,
"Fruit?" Diana asked,
"Come on, y'all, try one." Applejack said, and they did, everybody saw the male vulcans were bald while the female vulcans had black hair, and their skin was gray, the harpies, vulcans, and onis spit them out,
"This tastes horrible." a female vulcan said,
"Come on, everybody, try my cake." Pinkie Pie said, and they did, the harpies, vulcans, and onis spit it out,
"This tastes even worse." a red oni said, Pinkie Pie gasps,
"Um, we have punch as well." Fluttershy said,
"I doubt you all can even throw one." a blue oni replied,
"She's referring to punch as in that red drink in that bowl there." Walker said as he points at it,
"Come on, everycreature, have a drink." Pinkie Pie said, and the harpies, vulcans, and onis try it, they spit it out,
"This isn't that good, either." Adetokunbo said,
"What do you all usually drink?" Twilight Sparkle asked,
"We don't drink anything." Alexia replied,
"Wait, don't drink anything?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Our bodies do not need fluids to survive." Adetokunbo replied,
"What do you vulcans usually drink?" Rarity asked,
"Water." a male vulcan replied,
"What else?" Sandbar asked,
"That's it." a female vulcan replied, leaving the ponies speechless,
"Um, what do you onis drink?" Fluttershy asked,
"Blood." a red oni replied,
"What?!" Rarity asked,
"Onis drink blood?!" Yona asked,
"Yes, it is the spoils of battle, and there's a saying in our culture, eat and drink what you kill." a blue oni replied, the world's natives become very uncomfortable,
"Well, *ahem* mah job is also to teach honesty." Applejack said,
"Okay, so what exactly do you wish for?" Athena asked,
"Well, y'all can start with the apples, how do they taste?" Applejack asked,
"Taste like crap." a red oni replied,
"Hey!" Apple Bloom said, Walker restrains his laughter while the ponies look on with offended faces, Runner had a nervous expression while Sprinter remains stoic,
"No, Ah mean as if they were sweet, sour, that kind of taste." Applejack said,
"I found it to be too sweet for my tastes." Alexia replied,
"Sour to us." a male vulcan said,
"I thought it was bitter." a blue oni said,
"See, y'all are learnin' honesty already, good job on yer first tasks." Applejack said,
"Why do you all value honesty for?" a female harpy asked,
"Because lyin' causes more damage, and you have to keep lyin' after you make one lie." Applejack replied,
"What if a lie saves a life?" a female vulcan asked,
"It's still wrong to lie, y'all." Applejack replied, the harpies, vulcans, and onis remain speechless,
"Um, let's try someone else, why don't you try, Rainbow Dash?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and Applejack walks back while Rainbow Dash flies forward.
Rainbow Dash flies to the harpies, vulcans, and onis, and begins doing poses,
"Rainbow Dash, Wonderbolt and coolest professor, reporting for duty." Rainbow Dash said,
"What do you have to teach us?" Elder Hephaestus asked,
"Loyalty, which can be achieved through teamwork, come on, try to catch some of the fish in that water over there." Rainbow Dash replied, and the harpies, vulcans, and onis walk to the water around the School of Friendship. The harpies, vulcans, and onis look at the water and they were unimpressed, a blue oni walks forward, puts his left hand in the water, and uses his lightning magic to electrify the water, the fish floats up and Pinkie Pie screams, Rainbow Dash pulls him away while Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer also pull him away with telekinesis, and Fluttershy flies to the water and cries when she sees the dead fish float up,
"No! You're not supposed to kill them, you're supposed to throw them back into the water!" Rainbow Dash said,
"Why would we do that for?" a male vulcan asked,
"Because you're just catching them for fun." Rainbow Dash replied,
"Isn't that wasting food?" a female harpy asked,
"You're not supposed to eat them!" Rainbow Dash replied angrily, the harpies, vulcans, and onis shake their heads,
"Ugh, let's try something else, let's try building a shed." Rainbow Dash said, and she flies away and comes back with the materials,
"Okay, here's the blueprint, I'd like to see you all work together." Rainbow Dash said,
"I am sorry to interrupt, but us vulcans build things with stone and metal, not wood." Elder Hephaestus replied,
"What about you harpies?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Stones and metals." Alexia replied,
"How about you onis?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Metal and bones." a red oni replied,
"Wait, back up, did you all say you build things with bones?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"If you go to their world, you will see bones in their walls and skulls in their doors." Sprinter replied, Rainbow Dash looks on with shock,
"Not cool, guys." Rainbow Dash said,
"Let's just get started." a blue oni said, the others agree and they do. The harpies, vulcans, and onis grab the wooden pieces and nails, the blue onis hold up the walls and the red onis smash the nails into the board with their wrists, the harpies and vulcans fly around and put the wooden boards on the roof and the onis jump and land on the roof, they hit the nails in with their wrists and jump down,
"See? There you all go, you just worked as a team." Rainbow Dash said,
"What is the point of this?" a blue oni asked,
"Um, to teach you all to be loyal to one another." Rainbow Dash replied, the onis glare at her,
"What?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Why should we be loyal to anyone besides Champion Lucius?" a red oni asked,
"Because, it's how friendships last." Rainbow Dash replied,
"Family comes first." a male vulcan said, Rainbow Dash becomes speechless,
"Um, don't you all care about your friends?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Friends are nice, but not as important as family." a female vulcan replied while looking down and had her arms across her chest,
"We have a saying in this world..." Rainbow Dash said,
"Yeah, we know, friendship is magic, it's not magic to us." a male vulcan replied,
"Is there anything you all consider as important?" Rainbow Dash asked,
"Honor, we refuse to fight dirty." Alexia replied,
"Oh, well, yeah, I kind of learned that in the Wonderbolts, we have to do things fair and square during flying competitions." Rainbow Dash said,
"Honor is also not running away from danger." Adetokunbo replied,
"Oh, that's easy, I do that all the time." Rainbow Dash said, the harpies chuckle,
"What about honesty, y'all?" Applejack asked while she trots to them,
"We lie sometimes to protect others." a male harpy replied,
"But wouldn't fightin' fair also count as honesty? Honest fightin', y'all?" Applejack asked,
"No, not to us." another male harpy replied,
"Oh." Applejack said,
"Well, I think that's good enough, you're up next, Rarity." Twilight Sparkle said, and Rainbow Dash flies away while Rarity walks forward.
Rarity walks forward while bringing fashionable clothes with her telekinesis with her,
"Hello, everyone, my name is Rarity, and I am your generosity teacher, I will be teaching you all how to share and sacrifice your things, and I am well known in the world of fashion." Rarity said,
"Fashion?" Elder Hephaestus asked,
"What clothes and outfits are popular to wear at the time." Walker replied,
"Thank you, Walker, and I can say with absolute certainty that your outfits are not fashionable." Rarity said,
"What are you getting at?" a male harpy asked,
"Well, first off, you harpies are not wearing anything except for those straps on your thighs to sheathe your boomerangs, you all can at least wear a beautiful outfit, as for you vulcans, armor is not fashion, and that dull gray color, ugh, it is so ugly, only the gold one is a nice color." Rarity said,
"My armor is gold because I'm the ruler of the world." Elder Hephaestus replied,
"As for you onis, that black color has got to go, it is so dull, same with those boots, they look so ugly, those pants are a no go, and those metal pads most definitely have got to go." Rarity said,
"Even though they protect us in battle?" a blue oni asked,
"They have no place in the fashion world, they are so ugly." Rarity replied,
"What about Champion Lucius' outfit, Rarity?" Walker asked,
"What was that one again?" Rarity asked,
"No shirt, black pants, black boots, black knee pads, black elbow pads, black gauntlets, all covered in bones, and oni skulls on his waist, elbow pads, and knee pads." Walker replied,
"Oh, I remember now. No, bones are unacceptable to have as fashion." Rarity said,
"What about skulls?" a red oni asked,
"Well, maybe fake ones for decoration." Rarity replied,
"Champion Lucius' bones are real." a blue oni said,
"Oh, Celestia, no, real bones are never acceptable as fashion." Rarity replied,
"Why should he remove them for?" another blue oni asked,
"Because it is ugly, fashion is about embracing your inner and outer beauty." Rarity replied,
"What a stupid passion." another red oni said,
"WHAT?!" Rarity asked,
"I must agree, I find this way of living to be idiotic." Elder Hephaestus said,
"It is not idiotic, fashion is about embracing your creative side." Rarity said,
"Yeah, I'll pass." Alexia replied,
"So will I." Athena said,
"Alright, I get it, you all don't like fashion, but my job is to teach generosity." Rarity said,
"Yeah, we already know what generosity is, it's one of the seven virtues." Echidna replied,
"Do you all practice generosity already?" Rarity asked,
"We share food with one another." a blue oni replied,
"Ooh, splendid, you all are already generous." Rarity said,
"We share food as well." a male vulcan said,
"As do we." a female harpy said,
"Generosity isn't just sharing your food, it's also sharing other valuables, and giving it to those who need it more." Rarity said, the harpies, vulcans, and onis just watch,
"Well, um, let's try the last one, you ready, Fluttershy?" Twilight Sparkle asked, and they see Fluttershy was still crying over the dead fish, the ponies glare at them,
"What?" a male vulcan asked,
"Those animals were her pets." Rainbow Dash replied,
"What does she teach?" Alexia asked,
"Kindness." Rarity replied,
"Ah, so you all value that virtue as well." Adetokunbo said,
"You all can start by giving her pets a funeral." Twilight Sparkle replied,
"Um, funeral?" a red oni asked,
"A burial, and pay your respects." Runner replied,
"We are unfamiliar with this custom." Elder Hephaestus said,
"What? Don't you all bury your dead?" Pinkie Pie asked,
"No, we eat them." a red oni replied, the world's natives exclaim with disgust,
"How utterly repulsive!" Rarity said,
"You will not eat the native animals of this world, you all are to give them those fish a burial and pay your respects." Princess Celestia said,
"Um, pay respects?" another blue oni asked,
"What?! Don't tell me you don't know how!" Princess Luna said,
"It's simple, just do what you do to pay respects to your ruler." a male harpy replied,
"Oh." the onis said, and they get the dead fish.
Fluttershy leads the harpies, vulcans, and onis to her home and they bury the dead marine animals, the harpies get on their knees while the vulcans and onis just look down,
"Um, aren't you all going to get on your knees?" Fluttershy asked,
"We don't pay our respects that way to others, only our gods." Elder Hephaestus replied,
"Oh, I see." Fluttershy said, and she pays her respects to the dead marine animals while tears roll down her eyes,
"That's enough, everycreature, you all can go back now." Fluttershy said, and they go back to Ponyville.
Twilight Sparkle goes to Spirit, who was sitting in a black throne with the Senses standing to his right,
"Excuse me, Spirit." Twilight Sparkle said, he looks at her,
"I'd like to see the worlds of the harpies, vulcans, and onis." Twilight Sparkle said,
"I'll have to fuse their worlds together with this one, I'm also planning to unfuse your world from my realm tomorrow." Spirit replied,
"Alright, I just want to see what those three worlds look like." Twilight Sparkle said,
"Very well, it's getting dark, you should head home before the souls of the dead appear." Spirit replied,
"Alright, good night, Spirit." Twilight Sparkle said, and she heads home, everybody goes to sleep for the night and sleep with the harpies, vulcans, and onis sleeping around Walker's, Runner's, and Sprinter's house.
