I land on the balcony that connected to Luna’s room.

Entering the young alicorn’s room I see a dead green coated alicorn, and a pile of wet ashes where Luna’s bed was.

I sigh before tapping my horn with my hoof, and nodding as it didn’t hurt anymore.

The book shelf creaks, and I look at it to see why.

It was a feral ghoul pony, and it was blind. I shed a tear at the horrible fate that befell the pony before me.

CRACK-THUUM!

I look away from it as it was now a pile of pink goo.

Facing the ash pile that was Luna, and her bed, I light my horn.

“Please let this work.” I whisper as trillions of particles are grasped in my magic before bringing them up in front of me.

“Why didn’t you escape while you could?” I ask quietly as the ash ball slowly grows bigger as more of Luna’s remains gather. Some particles are floating in through the open doors, and from off the ceiling.

It takes me five minutes to have all of Luna’s remains gathered before me.

Keeping the ball of ash in the air, I grasp a nearby urn that was relatively unharmed by the pink cloud’s affects, and slowly stream the ashes into it before I close the urn, and place it on my back.

My armor shifts a bit, and I look back to see that a couple straps had moved around the urn to anchor it to my back.

“Interesting and useful.” I mutter under my breath before taking off out the balcony doors.

I scan over the city to look for the hospital that most likely held the bodies that I would need to revive Luna.

My EFS notifies me of the important buildings that I spot, and I find the Hospital after a few seconds.

“Canterlot Royal Hospital” is what my EFS tagged the building as, so I bank, and start on my way there.

As I flew I see that there are a few Canterlot ghouls that Little Pip had found, out and about now that the cloud was gone.

I am halfway to the hospital before a bat pony ghoul stops right in front of me.

“HALT FALSE GOD!” The ghoul shouts at me. I blink before slowing to a hover a few feet away from him. The bat pony ghoul is wearing old lunar royal guard armor, and has the included enchantments. The armor had melded into his body.

“We were not aware that any of the old royal guards were still alive.” I say to him before lighting my horn, and removing my helmet to let my ethereal mane flow from my head, and neck.

His eyes widen as he looks upon my star ridden mane.

“What art thou!?” He shouts at me. I blink again as I see a small rodent scamper up to his shoulder.

“We are the last male alicorn, Prince Artermis Eclipse.” I answer him. His jaw drops before he hangs his head in a flying bow.

“Forgive me your majesty; I was unaware of your return.” He replies before raising his head.

“You’re forgiven for now, but what is your name?” I ask him as I start on my way to the hospital once again.

“I am Lionheart, the last surviving lunar royal guard on Equis. Oh, and this is Mouse.” He tells me as we land on the roof of the hospital.

“Well then Lionheart, Mouse, I may need some assistance in the task I am hoping to complete. Would you be willing to help?” I ask them.

“I was born to serve the royal family.” Lionheart says with a low bow to me. I smile at this.

“Good, then let us be on our way. What I need you to do is help me gather three dead foals that have barely decayed. I need their bodies intact so that I can use them to revive my niece.” I tell the guard. His jaw drops, and I chuckle at this.

“Re-revive Princess L-L-Luna?” He asks in shock. I simply nod before we entered the roof access of the hospital.

Before much more could be said Mouse jumps down, and puffs a small cloud of pink. My eyes narrow at this.

“Mouse, are you really a mouse?” I ask the rodent.

It shakes her head. I blink a few times before scanning her with magic. She’s the dragon that was fueling the pink cloud.

“Ah, you are the dragoness that Celestia made a boon with.” I say as my magic reports its findings.

“Would you like to be a dragoness once more? If so you will still be similar to your current size, but you will be a dragon again.” I ask the dragon turned mouse.

She seems to think for a few moments before nodding.

“Very well then, hold still this will only take a few seconds.” I say as I gently levitate her with my magic. I feel the transformation spell on her, as well as the size spell. I tear the two away from each other, isolating the forms so that they don’t rely on each other before undoing the transformation spell, and leaving the size spell intact.

As the magic keeping her as a mouse fails, I am forced to place her back on the ground before she slowly starts to morph back into her original form.

Her fur poofs away from her skin before her scales replace it. Her small beady eyes return to slits, and her back explodes with blood as her wings regrow from it.

Once her un-transformation was complete, I sooth her with a simple healing spell.

“Better?” I ask the small dark emerald green dragon that has pink spines and eyes.

“Yes… is that really what I sound like?” She asks in a high squeaky voice. She looks annoyed as all Tartarus, and Lion and I burst into laughter.

“If you don’t stop, I’ll cloud you both!” She shouts at us in anger, but it only makes us laugh even harder.

“Oh-ho-ho-ho… Alright, now we need -*chuckle*- to get moving on my tasks.” I say as Lion and I get over the ridiculous voice that Mouse has.

“Heh-heh-heh, of course Prince.” Lion says as Mouse climbs her way back up onto the guard.

We move farther into the hospital, and I see my EFS light up with hundreds of red dots. Eventually I have to stop, and manually tune my EFS so that it only shows the threats on the same floor.

“So, three dead foals?” Lion asks quietly.

“Yes, one of each pony and Luna’s remains, which are on my back in the urn.” I say as we look over a directory that was near a nurse’s desk.

“You already went to the castle?” He asks me as I spot the infant/small foal nursery on the directory. The area we would most likely find what I needed would be on the second floor of the hospital.

“Lion, Mouse, come here, and be as still as you can be. I’m going to teleport us to the room we need.” I tell the two others.

Lion steps up next to me, and I let out my magic in a pulse with my eyes closed. As my pulse got farther and farther away I could sense, or see where I needed to pull us to.

I did just that. The room I needed was fairly close, and relatively empty of living bodies, ghoul or otherwise.

With a snap followed by a brief flash we teleported into the nursery.

“Let’s be quick.” I say to Mouse and Lion. We both move, and start searching the small beds for any remains that were preserved.

“Prince, I found one that is still relatively fresh.” Lionheart calls for me. I blink and quickly walk over to him to see he had found a young filly unicorn that is perfectly preserved within a foal survival bed.

“Good work, but please keep searching while I free the body from this shelter. One more thing, make sure they are all fillies.” I whisper to the guard. He nods, and moves to search more of the beds. I return my attention to the dead newborn inside the survival pod-like bed.

Pushing magic into my horn, I slowly tear the protective shielding away from the dead foal before pulling the body up and out of the shelter. I push magic into the dead foal to restore its physical form.

My sense for living beings tells me that this body is reanimating because of my restoration magic, so before the unborn foal could be re-born, I sap its life energy into Luna’s ashes. The body stops reanimating, and I place it on my back. My armor throws a few straps over it, and I move on.

Lion and Mouse lead me to two other foals, one a Pegasus filly and the other an earth pony, and I had to sap the life energy from these as well.

“Lionheart, I have an offer for you.” I say as the three of us fly out of one of the many broken windows of the hospital.

“And what is your offer?” He asks me.

“First, I offer you a place beside me while I travel, and if you want it, I offer to restore your physical form to what it was before.” I say as I see my thunderhead nearing Canterlot.

“I am honored to have a place at your side, and I would be ever so thankful to you if you restored my body.” He says as I change our course to the castle gardens so that I could use the Thundernova again.

“Well, I am happy that you would like to join me, but I have another task for you.” I say as we land in the gardens.

“Whatever you need Prince.” He says with a bow.

“I need you to go and Prepare Lady Starlight Sparkle for her move to a safer location.” I say as we near my aircraft. My EFS blinks a couple times before the cockpit opens for me.

“Where should I take her?” He asks me before Mouse hops onto my shoulders.

“Anywhere in the open that you can land a large sky chariot in. Now, I must return to my thunderhead. I will return with other ponies to retrieve Lady Sparkle, so move with haste my guard.” I order the ghoul bat pony.

He bows for a couple moments before launching into the sky.

“So Mouse, is there a reason you didn’t go with him?” I ask as I enter my Thundernova with the tiny dragon on my shoulders.

“I owe you my company for restoring my dragoness form. I also wish to meet these ponies.” She tells me before I settle into the cockpit.

“Well, let’s go then.” I say as the cockpit closes.

“Welcome back Prince Artermis.” The computer says before the machine hooks into my armor. The familiarity of the voice finally reminds me of who it belongs to.

“Computer, is your voice that of Twilight Sparkle?” I ask as the aircraft straps me in, and places the controls over my wings.

“Yes, this model of the Thundernova assembly line was installed with an A.I. with the voice of the Ministry Mare Twilight Sparkle in honor of her achievements.” It replies.

“Okay, please set a course back to the HMT Alicorn Blade.” I say to the A.I.

I see a holographic path on my EFS, and feel the engines rumble to life before my Thundernova lifts itself off of the ground, and starts towards the thunderhead.

“Please be ready to take control.” The A.I. tells me before a small number in the corner of the screen starts to count down. I place my hooves in the control slats before the number reaches zero.

I take control, and burst towards my thunderhead with the throttle 75% forward.

“This is Thundernova Alpha, asking for permission to land.” I say over the radio as I circle my thunderhead.

“Thundernova Alpha, you are cleared to land on runway delta.” The air traffic control pony replies.

“Thunderhead, copy that, coming in for landing.” I say before slowing down to one fourth of full speed, and kicking the landing gear down.

I gently land on the outer runway before pulling the throttle down all the way into idle before letting the control switch over to land controls, and pulling back with my right front hoof to engage the brakes.

“Welcome back Thunderhead Alpha, please taxi over to the lift before leaving the aircraft.” Says air traffic control.

“Understood, and please send a message to General Feather, and Little Pip that I wish to see them in my chambers.” I say before stopping on the specified lift.

I power down the Thundernova, and let the machine unhook itself from my armor, and wings.
