At the road towards the Everfree Forest, Twilight was just about to reached the entrance until she was stopped by Spike as he appeared in her way. "TWILIGHT! STOP!"

Twilight made a breaking stop barely missing Spike for about an inch from hitting him. "Out of my way, Spike!"

"No! I know what you are planning to do! You're going to find Bloodfang, are you?!" Spike yelled.

"You bet I am, Spike. I am going to settle this once and for all." Twilight replied.

"No! You can't, Twilight! I won't let you!" Spike begged.

"Give it a rest, Spike." Twilight pushed Spike aside and continued walking toward the forest. Spike then grabbed her by the tail trying to keep her from entering. "No! Twilight, Stop! Twilight, please!"

"Would you stop that, Spike!" Twilight annoyed.

"But, this is dangerous!" Spike said while still pulling her tail.

Twilight stopped and turned back to Spike. "Spike, you've been in the Everfree Forest a couple of times before. Why are you starting to feel scared now?"

"That was until I've read that Bloodfang was buried here." Spike said.

Twilight rolled her eyes. "Oh Please."

Twilight turned around and continued walking up the path. Spike then rushed in her way, trying to convince her to stop. "Twilight, do you know why it is called the Everfree Forest? Do you know why there are so many bad things happening in there?"

"Not really." Twilight said uninterested.

"Because of Bloodfang! Back then, this was a normal forest. But when Bloodfang was defeated and buried here, nothing good ever grown here again." Spike shouted in panic.

"That's interesting." Twilight said in sarcasm.

Spike grabbed Twilight's face and pulled it close to his. "That's what I am saying, Twilight! Bloodfang was the seed of this forest!"

Twilight pushed Spike away from her face. "You see, this is why I need to do this. Those stupid stories are turning you into a fool."

"A fool?" Spike shocked.

"That's right! Not just you, it's turning everypony here even crazier fools. Well, I am going to make it right. I am going into that forest and there's nothing you can do to stop me." Twilight said.

After ignoring Spike's warning, Twilight marched into the Everfree Forest. Spike knew she was right. Spike can't do anything about it. So, what does he do…. he just followed her. "TWILIGHT! WAIT UP!"



After walking miles into the forest, Twilight and Spike walked slowly and carefully. After all, this was the Everfree Forest. After walking and walking, Twilight asked Spike for directions. "Okay, Spike. Tell me, are we close?"

Spike looked back into his book and began reading it like a map. "Umm…. Well, it said in the book, there should a scary looking tree nearby. That will be a sign if he's near."

After reading it out to her, Twilight stopped ahead, Spike on the other hand; still focusing on his book, he bumped into Twilight's behind and fell to the ground. "Ow! What's wrong?"

Spike got back up and looked at the direction that Twilight was looking at; Spike dropped his book in shock after seeing this.

"I assume that's it." Twilight said with a squealed voice.

Ahead of them, was an old scary-looking tree, it has black dead trunk with a frightening image of a face, no leafs, and branches look like arms and sharp hands. Spike panicked and realized he has just about enough adventures. "Twilight, there! There's your prove! Now, can we leave now?"

As soon, as Spike was just about to leave, Twilight picked him up with her magic horn. "Not yet. We still need to find that cave."

Twilight put Spike down on the ground and kept on walking; Spike got up and followed her while shaking in fear. They move through yet another part of the forest, Twilight again leading the advance. She looked ahead. "Look! That must be it."

Through the overgrown fronds, a tumbled stone cave stand in the clearing just ahead. Spike yelped in fear. "Okay, you've found it. Now, let's get out of here!"

"Sorry, Spike. We don't want to keep Bloodfang waiting now, do we?" Twilight said in sarcasm.

Twilight walked ahead leaving the frightened Spike behind. "Come on, Spike!"

Spike went on, as they got closer to the cave, the sky was starting getting cloudy, and the sunlight disappeared with nothing but shade. It's like mother nature was giving them a sign of beware. Twilight and Spike entered the cave, but it was too dark to see, so Twilight used her horn as a glowing light. "Be very careful, Spike. The ground is full of sharp rocks."

Twilight and Spike jumped around to avoid the small sharp rocks sticking out from the floor. They walked deeper until they reached at the end of the cave. "Hmmm…. we're here and I don't see Bloodfang or his coffin."

"Maybe…. it's….. better….. off…" Spike said while shivering in fear.

"Oh Bloodfang! Come out! Come out! Come out! Wherever you are!" Twilight joked by calling out in a loud voice.

"Twilight! Don't!" Spike panicked.

"There's a unicorn and a baby dragon here! You better come out and get us!" Twilight snickered.

"STOP!" Spike yelled.

"Ohhhhhh, he'll probably such out our souls." Twilight said in a spooky tone.

"I'M BEGGING YOU!" Spike cried in tears.

Twilight laughed. "Oh, come on Spike, it just a joke."

"THAT'S NOT FUNNY, TWILIGHT! CAN WE PLEASE GO NOW!" Spike shouted desperately.

Twilight giggled for a bit and rolled her eyes. "Sorry, I know it's not nice to gloat and all but... AHA! I told you there was nothing to worry about and I was right. I knew it was all a lie. The Guardians, yeah right. I knew there's no such thing."

"Okay you finally prove it, Twilight. Now please, let's get out of here!" Spike said while still shriving in fear.

"This proves exactly my theory." Twilight suggested as she kept blabbing out her theories. 

But then, Spike heard something deep inside the cave. He raised his ear to get a clearer sound.

"Sometimes, it is hard to be a unicorn who knows everything. But I guess it will be all deserve in the end." Twilight teased her words.

Spike can hear it getting louder and louder. "Ummm… Twilight?" He whispered to the gloating unicorn.

Twilight was lost in her words, not paying any attention to what Spike was saying. "I can't wait to tell my friends and all the ponies down in Ponyville and rub it in their faces."

"TWILIGHT!?" Spike shouted.

Twilight snapped out of it. "What?!"

Twilight paused for a second and started to hear it too. Twilight and Spike looked behind and saw a large group of waking bats flying all over the cave. Twilight and Spike screamed in terror as the bats swarm around them. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Twilight ducked down with her hooves covering her head while Spike was running and panicking. "Ahhhhhhhhh…. NO! GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU NIGHTWALKERS! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Spike was in such a panic, running back and forth, he didn't realize he accidentally stepped on a small sharp rock on his left foot. "OW!"

For a few seconds, all the bats flew out of the cave. Twilight got up in relieve. "Don't worry, Spike. It was just a bunch of normal bats."

Twilight received no response. "Spike?"

Twilight looked back and saw that Spike was sitting on the ground with blood dripping out on his left foot. She gasped and run to him. "Spike!"

"Are you okay?" Twilight worried.

"Am I bleeding?" Spike said in pain while holding out his leg.

"Let see." Twilight looked at Spike's bloody foot, examining the injury. Twilight saw that there was a small sharp rock still lodged in his foot. Twilight use her magic and removed the rock out. When she did, more blood squirted out. "OW!"

"Ohhhh… I'm sorry, Spike. Come on, we can go home now." Twilight picked up Spike with her magic and placed him on her back.

"Good, because, I'll never come here again." Spike breathing a sigh of relief, but trying not to sound too relieved.

Twilight finally walked out of the cave and head on home. "Are you still frightened, Spike? I just proved to you once and for all that there is nothing to worry about. Bloodfang is not there, because he never exists….." Twilight's voice of lecturing slowly faded as they walked farther away from the cave and into the forest. 

Back inside the cave something was about to happen. On the ground, there was still Spike's spilled blood over the floor. Outside, the sun broke through the clouds, giving the cave lighter to see. As the sun shined brighter, the entire ground was shining by the color of silver. Twilight and Spike really didn't realized they were walking on it the whole time. It turned out the ground was the coffin all along. As for the spilled blood on the floor, it starting to disappear, being suck from underground. When all of the blood was drained, a moment of silence came across. And then, a sound of a spooky heartbeat can be heard through the dirt.

Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump, Ba-Bump…



Later that night… the dinner festival was finally opened, and many ponies are ready for an amazing night. In a gorgeous park in the center of Ponyville, music playing, lights were spinning. Ponies' dancing and drinking.

Outside of the party came Twilight and Spike. "So, how's the foot, Spike?"

"I'll manage." Spike said with a forced smile while rubbing his left foot which was covered in bandages.

Crack! Sizzle! Twilight and Spike looked up as "Happy Guardian Day" fireworks burst over the party. "Huh?"

Spike thought for a moment and remembered that there was something important for tonight. "Oh right, the feast! We totally forgot about the feast!"

Twilight thought to herself and smiled. "Which means… everypony in Ponyville will be there, including my friends."

"Huh?" Spike confused.

Twilight snickered. "Perfect. It's time to let the truth out. Let's go, Spike. We have a dinner party to go to." 

Back at the party, there are ice sculptures of wolves in armor and dancing a giant buffet table filled with cakes, cupcakes, juice punch, and lot's of sugary treats. Everypony was invited, scene showed Mr. and Mrs. Cake giving out all the cakes and goodies at the serving table with their babies in Guardian baby suits, DJ PON-3 in charge of playing the music for the party, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance dancing on the dance floor, even Trixie was there and she was just showing off herself as usual. All the main ponies walked through the party, all happy and having fun.

"Best party ever!" Rainbow Dash called out.

"Oh, yes. It is." Fluttershy answered.

"I am having a marvelous time." Rarity said sweetly.

"Looked like some ponies is havin' more fun than the rest of us." Applejack said as she turned to the desert table.

The pony eating across the table that was full of sweets was Pinkie Pie. "Mmmmmmm…. chocolate candy goodness!"

The ponies laughed with Pinkie Pie in her usual way. At the party entrance came Twilight and Spike walking toward Applejack and the others.

"Twilight! Well I'll be a hooves on my monkey's uncle, you two made it." Applejack greeted.

"I sure did, Applejack. And there is something I got to tell you, to all of you that is." Twilight said with a sinister smile.

"Well, can it wait? The Princesses will be here soon and after that they'll start the play. Apple Bloom will be in it." Applejack said.

"But….." Twilight tried to talk to them but she was kept getting cut off.

"Oh, stop with all the yap, yap, just enjoy the party." Rainbow Dash interrupted while pouring a cup of fruit punch. "Here, have some punch." 

Rainbow Dash gave Twilight a cup of punch, Twilight decided just a little drink won't hurt. When she was about to drink the juice, a familiar pony head with horns popped out from the cup and faced Twilight. "Well hello, Twilight!"

"Aaahhhhhhhhhh." Twilight screamed

She dropped the cup on the ground and it transformed into Discord. "Enjoying the party, I see."

"Discord!?" Twilight surprised.

"What are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash demanded.

"Oh, just trying to have fun just like the rest of the ponies….." Discord said with a grin.

Discord disappeared and reappeared in a cap, a white t-shirt with a Guardian symbol painted on, a small flag in his left hand, and a number-one glove in his right. "….Get into the holiday spirit, of course. GO GUARDIANS!"

Applejack shocked that she's heard it from somepony like Discord. "Wait, you're also a fan, too."

Rainbow Dash face to face with Discord. "You don't look like a Guardian-fan type."

"Obviously not." Rarity agreed.

"Are you sure you're not just here to start trouble, are you?" Applejack said suspicious.

"Oh I see, you ponies still don't trust me, do you? Well, I honestly say I can't blame you ponies. After all the fun things we have done in the past." Discord said while returning back to his normal self.

All the ponies gave Discord a suspicious look.

"Just because I am the master of chaos, doesn't mean I can't have heroes too. Although I have to admit….." Discord said snapping his fingers.

Discord disappeared and reappeared again, only this time with his arms as his legs and his leg as his arms. "…Those books have really turned my life upside down."

Fluttershy flew next to Discord trying to explain it with her friends. "Actually, I've invited him over. I know that Discord may have a bad reputation in the past, so I figure if he comes to the party, and show his true kind-self. He might be able to make some new friends here." She turned to Discord. "Right, Discord?"

"Why of course, Fluttershy. I mean, after all I'm a new Discord now." Discord disappeared again, and reappeared behind everypony with a white angel dress with a glowing halo on top of his head. "I'm now using my magic for good instead of evil…. Mostly." Discord said as he whispered the last part.

Discord returned to his normal self and reappeared next to Fluttershy.

"Well I believe you….. friend." Fluttershy accepted.

"Why thank you, Fluttershy…. I mean, friend." Discord said while hugging Fluttershy.

Discord looked at the corner and spotted something interesting. "Oh look! Nachos!"

Finally, Discord disappeared, leaving Fluttershy smiling, she turned around and saw Spike with a bandage on his left foot. "Oh dear! What happened to Spike!?"

"Oh um…. we had a little accident." Twilight laughed nervously.

Fluttershy zipped in and cradled Spike in her front hooves. "Oh you poor dear, you look hurt."

"Don't worry. I'm okay." Spike embarrassed.

All the ponies can see through him, Applejack knew there was something going on.

"Twilight? Mind tellin' me what in the hay is going on here?" Applejack concerned.

"Well, I should just tell you girls right now." Twilight said with excitement.

Everypony gathered in front of Twilight ready to hear what she has about to say. "Well, you see, I have discovered that….."

But she was interrupted again, but this time it was Mayor Mare, who was standing on stage with lights and drum roll. "Fillies and Gentlecolts, as Mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the ending of the National Guardian Day!"

The party guest cheered in excitement as they formed a huge crowd next to the stage.

"It is my great honor to introduce to you to the rulers of our land, the very ponies who gives us the Sun and the Moon each and every day, the goods, the wises, the bringers of harmony to all of Equestria... Princess Celestia and Princess Luna." Mayor Mare pointed at Princess Celestia and Princess Luna as they appeared on stage in front of all their subjects.

Back to Twilight's friends caught the exciting attention and ran into the crowd, leaving Twilight alone. "Wait, I didn't finish..." Twilight grunted in frustration and decided to go along with the crowd.

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. As your Princesses, we are much honored to have you all welcome to this night ceremony." Princess Celestia said to her subjects.

All the ponies were cheering and applauding for their Princesses. Princess Luna then stepped up in front and faced the audience. "As your Princess of the Night, I hoped all of you enjoy this special evening."

More cheering from the crowd, along with Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity.

"And so, for the main event, the final act of this dinner festival, we will be showing you a theater performance, we saved the best for last. I present to you the Director, Miss. Cheerilee." Princess Celestia introduced.

The Princesses flew away from the stage, behind them was a theater set where Miss. Cheerilee walked out of the red curtains and faced the audience. "Good evening, everypony. I am Miss. Cheerilee, teacher of the Ponyville Schoolhouse."

The ponies made general stomping of hooves, as the pony equivalent of applause.

"As teacher, I would like to present to you all our school play, reenactment of Equestria's favorite story…. "The Wolves of Imperiacus"!" Cheerilee walked out as the light flashed on the stage, the audience quiet down, then the velvet curtains opened showing a painted Equestria-like setting with hovering cardboard cutout clouds hang on top of the stage. On stage showed Diamond Tiara dressed up as Princess Celestia and Silver Spoon dressed up as Princess Luna. Behind them are two fillies dressed up as ancient-times subjects.

"Oh, how vow, how do we have suffered for this day. How have I suffered to protect my loyal subjects from harm? Oh, the pain of our darkest hour. What will happen to us as we seek but nothingness?" Diamond Tiara acting.

"Equestria has been taken over by the vicious Nightwalkers." Silver Spoon said by faking scared.

"Oh dear, no." Diamond Tiara faked gasped.

"My Princesses. What do we do? How can we be free?" Filly 1 said behind Diamond Tiara.

"The Nightwalkers are too strong and too evil for us to beat." Filly 2 said while bowing down to Diamond Tiara.

"Fear not my subjects, I will do what I can to save Equestria." Diamond Tiara said.

Then at the left corner, three little fillies dressed up as bats with one wearing a cardboard crown came on stage.

"We are the Nightwalkers!" Bat with Crown said.

"Oh no, it is the Nightwalkers and their leader Lord Bloodfang." Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon fake gasped.

The Crowd booed at the arriving Nightwalkers that came on stage.

"Grrrrr…. I am evil…. grrrrr…. your days are numbered Princesses. Now bow down to your new Lord and Master." Bat with Crown said fake growling.

"Ohhhhh... What do we do, sister?" Silver Spoon said while hiding behind Diamond Tiara.

"Ohhhhh… Who can save us in our time of need?" Diamond Tiara raised her hoof over her head.

Then a voice came from the right corner of the stage. "Don't worry, we'll save you."

Seven colts dressed up as wolves in yellow painted armor came on stage. Featherweight dressed up as Prince Eclipso, along with Snip and Snail and four others dressed up as Guardians.

"Prince Eclipso and his six Guardians!" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon fake gasp together.

Featherweight stepped in front of Diamond Tiara to protect her from the three Nightwalkers. "Bloodfang! Leave this peaceful land alone or suffer the consequences."

The applause cheered for the heroics entrance for the Guardians

"You dare challenge me, Eclipso. You dare face me and my Nightwalkers." Bat with Crown growled.

"Leave the ponies alone, your fight is with us." Featherweight said while he charged at the three Nightwalkers.

The colts charged the fillies in the bat suits, as all the audience cheered in excitement, except for Twilight who was snickering in embarrassment. "Wow, this is so lame, right Spike."

Spike on the other hand was enjoying the play; he shoved his finger on her lips, telling her to be quiet. "Shhhhhhh… Keep it down, Twilight. This is the best part."

Back to the play, the fillies in bat suits are faced down on the ground with all the colts standing on top of them, a sign of victory.

"The Legendary War is over! Victory is our!" Featherweight said.

Diamond Tiara walked to Featherweight and kissed him on the cheek. "Oh Prince Eclipso, how could we ever thank you for saving Equestria?"

Featherweight didn't say anything he's mind got lost from the kiss. Diamond Tiara slapped him on the head, making him focused back to reality.

"No need, my Princess. It is our duty to protect the entire Earth's subjects from harm's way. Because we are the Guardians." Featherweight blushed in embarrassment.

Wild applause from the crowd as the curtain closed, ending the play. Cheerilee walked back on stage and thank the audience for watching. "Give them a round of applause, everypony!"

The audiences cheered louder for their enjoyment of the play. The Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were giggling in embarrassment.

"Sister, that didn't really happened." Princess Luna whispered while giggling.

"Shhh….. Let them just enjoy it, sister." Princess Celestia whispered back as she smiled.

Behind the curtains, everypony were getting undressed. The three fillies in the bat suits took off their mask. They happened to be Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle.

"Wow, that was embarrassing." Scootaloo said while taking off her bat costume.

"So much for getting our cutie marks in acting." Sweetie Belle lowered her head in defeat.

Apple Bloom took her bat mask with the crown off and threw it to the ground. "It's not fair! The only reason why Diamond Tiara plays the Princess it's because her dad funded this school play."

"Well, at least they love the play." Scootaloo said.

"I figure we didn't do so badly." Sweetie Belle said with encouragement.

"So, how come we feel so left out?" Apple Bloom frowned.

"Well, well if it isn't the three Nightwalkers." Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked toward the Cutie Mark Crusaders with an insult. "Shouldn't you three be out of here by now?"

"Yeah, Prince Eclipso said so." Silver Spoon snickered.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed coldly at them. Apple Bloom was being offended and stood up for herself. "Hey, what's the big idea?!"

"Enjoying my right as the star of the show, of course. Do you have a problem with that?" Diamond Tiara said.

"Star of the show?" Sweetie Belle spatted.

"You are not the star. Featherweight is. He was playing Prince Eclipso." Scootaloo shouted.

"Featherweight? Oh please. Nobody wants to see him. Besides, Prince Eclipso is a fake anyway." Silver Spoon burped.

"No, he not! He's real! They're all real!" Apple Bloom gasped.

Diamond Tiara laughed at Apple Bloom. "Yeah right. We all know the real reason why everypony enjoyed the play is because of me. I played Princess Celestia and I did better than the Princess herself too."

Apple Bloom gasped in shock. "You can never outdo the Princess! Ever!"

"I doubted." Silver Spoon laughed.

"See around, Blank Flanks!" Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon walked away laughing, leaving the Cutie Mark Crusaders with their feelings hurt.

"Come on, girls. Let's go." Apple Bloom signed in depression.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders walked out of stage only to meet their friends who are waiting for them.

"Apple Bloom!" Applejack called out to her little sister.

"Oh, hey Applejack. Did y'all saw us?" Apple Bloom said in an ashamed tone.

"Yes, and you three were great." Rarity said.

"Yeah, but we were playing as Nightwalkers." Sweetie Belle explained.

Rarity hugged Sweetie Belle for support. "Oh, that doesn't matter to us, even though you have to wear those awful clothing." Rarity shivered in disgust. "But you still did a great job."

Rainbow Dash patted Scootaloo on the back. "Yeah, you girls didn't do anything wrong."

"Really, Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo asked.

Applejack places her hooves on Apple Bloom's chin and given her a chin up. "Do you believe in the Guardians?"

"Of course, we do." Apple Bloom smiled.

"Then I'm sure the Guardians will be happy to see y'all three part of this important play." Applejack said while hugging her.

"All that matters is that you were part of a legendary play, honoring the Guardian's name." Rainbow Dash nudged and winked.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders smiled a little, feeling a little better now. Sweetie Belle walked up to Twilight and asks her the same question. "What about you, Twilight. Did we really do great for honoring the Guardians, too?"

Twilight thought for a moment, she saw their faces and they were a bit happy but also sad, those cute face were stopping her from blabbing out the truth. She didn't want to tell them no matter how much she wanted to. "Um… yes, ha, yes you did."

"Alright!" Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo cheered.

Twilight saw how happy they are, having great hopes with this whole Guardian stuff. Twilight was now feeling very guilty that she has to tell them the truth. While everypony was too busy talking to each other, she went walking alone through the crowd thinking what to do; ahead she saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Twilight smiled and rushed to the Princesses. "Princess Celestia, Princess Luna."

"Twilight, my star student. How are things going here in Ponyville?" Princess Celestia greeted.

"Great, Princess Celestia." Twilight said.

Princess Luna came to Twilight. "It's good seeing you again, Twilight."

"Me too, Princess Luna." Twilight said.

Princess Luna decided to give them a little space. "I'll give you time along."

Princess Luna left the scene. Giving Twilight and Princess Celestia what they needed.

"Princess, can we talk?" Twilight asked.

"Of course, Twilight." Princess Celestia said.

Twilight took a few seconds to think; she faced the Princess and signed. "Princess, I know that everypony here is all wrapped up about this whole holiday stuff. But, can I ask you this... Do you believe in this whole Guardian thing?"

Princess Celestia giggled. "Now, what kind of question is that?"

Twilight lowered her head in ashamed. "I'm just saying is that…."

Twilight stopped when Celestia placed her wing on her shoulder. "Twilight, you don't have to believe to have a fun time. Believing in the Guardians helps the ponies believe in others, they can't see with their own eyes. It helps them give faith."

"Even it's a lie?" Twilight added.

Princess Celestia gestured to all the ponies at the party. "Look around you, Twilight. Look at all these ponies. All these ponies are enjoying this wonderful night, because they believe in them. Their hearts are filled with love and happiness. And why not let their imagination give them hope, rather than seeing it with their own eyes."

"I-I never thought of that." Twilight realized while smiling.

"You do now, Twilight." Princess Celestia said with a smile.

Then one of the Royal Guards came to Princess Celestia, and whispered to her.

"Zecora wants to see me?" Princess Celestia asked.

The Royal Guard nodded his head. Princess Celestia looked back at Twilight. "I'll have to leave you alone for now, Royal Duties."

"Thank you, Princess Celestia." Twilight smiled.

"My pleasure, Twilight. Please enjoy the party and have fun with your friends." Princess Celestia then walked away, leaving Twilight with a big smile on her face. Behind her, Shining Armor and all of her friends approached her.

"Twilight, you finally came!" Shining Armor called to her.

"We were afraid you won't make it." Princess Cadance said.

"That's okay." Twilight smiled in happiness, she knew what to do thanks to her Princess advice.

Applejack thought for a second and remembered something. "Oh, sorry, Twilight, we were so busy havin' fun, we forgot to listen what you have to say."

"What?" Twilight realized. "Oh that." 

"Come on, Twilight. What is it?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Is it something important?" Fluttershy little worried.

"Does this have something to do with the Guardians?" Rarity questioned.

"Is this a good thing?" Pinkie Pie said with a frown.

Twilight smiled back, knowing what she has to say. "Nope, nothing. Everything is perfect. All I was going to say was that I've finally believe too."

"Really, Twilight?" Applejack gasped in surprised.

"You finally believe in the Guardians!" Fluttershy smiled.

"You bet I do, Happy Guardian Day, everypony." Twilight giggled.

"Happy Guardian Day, Twilight." All the ponies made a group hug. They broke apart and let Twilight walked to her brother.

"Happy Guardian Day, Twilight." Shining Armor said.

"Happy Guardian Day, B.B.B.F.F" Twilight said to Shining Armor and hugged him. Spike looked at Twilight while she's hugging her brother and gave her a thumb up, knowing she did the right thing. The party continued on for the rest of the night. Now, everypony was dancing, feasting and having fun. Spike was enjoying eating all the snacks on the table, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle are having fun talking to Miss. Cheerilee, Discord was cooling off at the punch bowl like a hot tub, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance continuing dancing on the dance floor along the Twilight and her friends dancing around them. Now the party continued with a happy ending as fireworks light up at the night.



Back at Twilight's home…

"Dear Princess Celestia"

"I have learned that happiness is all you to need to believe in. It doesn't matter if it's real or not. All that matters is that it can give faith and hope to all the ponies who believe in them, no matter how ridiculous it is. Just because you don't believe something, doesn't mean everyone else has too. It can break their spirits. And that spirit can give out the best of them as the stories said, even it is the story you don't believe in."

"From your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle"

Twilight finished her report with a smile, happy that she achieved her lesson for today. She blew off her candles and walked towards the sleeping Spike, who was cuddling with his Guardian book in his little bed. She giggled and moved on to her pet owl. "Can you report this to Princess Celestia?"

"Hoo! Hoo!" Owlowiscious took the letter and left, Twilight gazed out the window where Owlowiscious flew out and stared at the sparkling Moon. Realizing that today was a great day for Equestria, for her friends, and herself as well. The Moon was bright in the night sky. As everypony are sleeping tight in their homes. At Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack was sleeping peacefully as well as Apple Bloom sleeping with a stuffed Prince Eclipso doll on her side, same as Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. All sleeping peacefully in the beautiful night.



But Ponyville was not the only place that the Moon was shining at. Back at the Everfree Forest,  at the stone cave, a bright red light was glowing inside. Zooming inside the cave, setting at the horizon on a pile of dug up dirt, the silver coffin hovered itself in midair. As it stopped, the coffin door cracked.

CRACK!!!

The door busted open and what came out was a pile of bat-like skeletons. Scattering on the floor, the bones came to life and started to assembling itself. When it was complete, the skeleton began to move. Getting up like a zombie that came to life. Pulled itself up and stared at its hands, regaining its vision. "I'm…. alive… I'm… free….. free…."

The skeleton skull began to glow with burning red eyes.

"FREE!" Screamed with joy, the shadows around the cave came to life and transformed itself into a huge dark mist. Gathering and swimming around the living skeleton, reanimating it.

The dark shadows was covering around the bones forming it to be its skin along with metal armor over it, glowing bright red around its eyes and mouth, high squeaky voice changing into loud and frightening, and his dark powers returning to his body. Lord Bloodfang has been reborn. Alive and completed. Bloodfang took the final step of his return. He took a deep breath and blast out a huge red fire energy right out of its mouth. Blowing up the rooftop of the cave, Bloodfang flew out and escaped into the night, laughing maniacally.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA….
