Everyone that did not live in Ponyville were all saying farewell to their friends, old ones, and new friends alike. The griffons, hippogriffs, changelings, and dragons went back to their respected homes.
Many eland, buffalo, zebras, and other creatures that helped everyone against the dark army and Majora under its command went back to their homes to he with their families.
The leaders stayed behind to say goodbye to their friends. "Well, this has certainly been a ride for all of us." Said Imari. "But, I think this is where we depart from one another and look for a new beginning.
"Yeah. We yaks loved to smash bad guys!" Rutherford added. "Quite fun to smash them, but, yaks tired, and we must rest our strength."
The remaining yaks who stayed with their prince all gave out war cries, and pounded the ground with their mighty hooves.
"I'm glad I came here to fight with you." Said Thorax. "Quite an adventure if you ask me."
"Certainly a good way to get some exercise." Kit added.
"Yeah, I haven't had a fight like that in years." Ember added. "Totally a good workout for me." She cracked her knuckles, then her neck, then her wings.
"We really thank you a for helping us against Majora, and his army." Said Twilight.
"We are all heroes in this after all." Ssid Celestia. "We all played our parts in this battle against darkness."
"And this is the last time we will see that horrendous monster ever again." Luna added. She looked a little uncertain after that. ".... right, Link?"
Link made a small chuckle and he replied: "yeah, that's the last we'll see from him. I promise." He pulled out the Fierce Deity's mask, and looked at it for a period of time. "And, if he ever returns, I can count on this to help me." He put the mask away after that, and looked at the elements of harmony, and old cronies. "And my friends to help me." He smiled.
"Aw, c'mere, you." Said Big Mac. "Judt being in the lovez kiddo." They all laughed and shared a group hug as one. "Well, I guess this is the part where you leave Equestria again."
"That it is, Macintosh." Said Mathayus. "We all have friends and family to tend with and make up for lost time."
"You said it," Applejack agreed. "I just feel like buckin' more trees and harvesting as much apples as me and mah family can."
"And I just want to be safe at my cottage," Fluttershy added. "All my little animal friends will be very happy to see me again, and I would love to see their adorable faces again."
"You have all done a very good deed for this world, and Hyrule." Said Zaire. "Me and the princesses really mean what I have just shared with you all."
"It is quite a mark of nobility for you to say that, my king." Said Goende, bowing the righteous spirit in complete respect and kindness.
"Yes, being said such kind words such as those ones are words from a blessing." Adewale added. "We thank you dearly for your support and aid to us all, Zaire."
"You are all welcome. I would do anything for Zebrica, and all the creatures and subjects who wall upon it." He looked at Link and his friends: "you are all heroes as Celestia have mentioned before, and you are now considered a good friend to Zebrica, especially you Colin, Epona, and Storm."
"Glad to help, my lord." Zecora bowed her head in respect. "It was an enormous honor meeting you like this." She lifted her head back up.
"I've always heard that lions were noble," said Thorax. "But, you take that to a whole new level based on that."
"Yeah, you handled yourself well against Majora." Ember added. "Could you have killed him in one hit?"
"Of course. But, it was not my place to do such a thing. Destroying him was all in Link's hands, not in my paws."
"Makes sense." Said Spike. "Gotta be part of a prophecy."
"Exactly. I knew that you would all win and even I have rules that I need to follow under sacred law. But, what matters is that he is gone forever and he will never be coming back." He slowly began to fade from this mortal plain. "You have all done well, and feel free to come set foot in Zebrica whenever you want to visit. Farewell, my friends, and may the stars, the sun, and the moon watch over you."
The last words echoed like an actual spirit, and then, he was gone. Celestia and Luna looked on at the other heroes. "We're just as proud of you all as we are." said the princess of the sun. "I suppose that the party is over, we can both go back to the castle and continue our royal duties."
"Farewell, and good luck with future journeys to come." said Luna. Both the sisters all flew back to their castle in Canterlot, and Cadence went to meet with the heroes after with Shining Armor.
"Like aunt Celestia, and aunt Luna have mentioned; you all did a great job in fending off the enemy from Ponyville and destroying another ultimate threat in Equestria."
"I hope I was fighting so well out there." the prince remarked
"Oh, honey." said Cadence. "I'm sure you did just fine. After all, you were the best in the Royal Guard. No wonder you were promoted captain that day."
"Ah, come here, sweetheart." said Shining Armor, and they both shared a kiss, much to Pip's disgust. "Well, we better get going. Our Flurry Heart needs us back home, otherwise; she'll make a fuss and throw a tantrum."
"Take care everyone." Said Cadence before waiting for the next train to the Crystal Empire with her husband.
"As usual, we fought like true warriors." Said King Bulblin. "Of course, we have had some casualties from the fight, but, it is something that must happen in any war."
He began petting his steed, making him snort and oink happily.
"It is quite a pleasure to be in Equestria after all this time." Said Zelda. "And, Twilight, are you sure there are no hard feelings about fighting alongside Majora against my will?"
The princess made a small smile, and she replied: "we know it wasn't your fault, Zelda."
"Yeah, it's all over now." Zecora added. "What's done is done, and you cannot change the past."
"Well, WE can." Said Starlight. "Me and Twilight have gone back in time before, but.... it would have consequences, so it's not a very good idea to try out. Trust me, I've been there, and it's not that simple."
"I agree." Said Link. "Doing the slightest slip-up could alter the timeline terribly."
"Well, let us not dwell on it." Said Mathayus. "This battle is over and we won again."
"Yes. I guess it is time for me and Link to get back home." Colin remarked. "Storm, are you ready to go back home to Hyrule?"
The son of Epona nodded a Yes to his rider in reply. "Yeah, I can't wait to see daddy, and I wish he was here to see what we all did."
"I'm sure he would be proud of you, Pumpkin." Said Epona. "Just how proud I am of you right now."
Smiling at his newfound bravery, Storm realized that he is no longer the shy and timid colt he was before this adventure happened to him.
"I wonder what will happen next," Pip wondered. "Maybe Chrysalis will come back and have revenge, or King Sombra might come back from beyond the grave and attack everyone he can."
"Oh, Pip." Fluttershy giggled. "You are funny. But, I doubt that King Sombra will ever come back."
"Or Chrysalis." Lyra added. "Now that she has no more subjects under her command. But, evil never sleeps obviously."
"That's what makes it so fun." Said Rainbow Dash. "Having as much bad guys to kick butt!" She kicked and punched the air a few times to show her point.
"Well, I guess this is bye again." Said Epona.
"Indeed. Discord, can you please return us to Hyrule?" Asked king Bulblin.
"I thought you'd never ask." Said the master of chaos. "I'll be right back, everypony."
With a snap of his finger, he transported to the world of Hyrule, along with the Bulblins and bulblos and there were no more of them in Equestria.
It was likely possible they were transported back to their home: the Gerudo desert at the Arbiters grounds.
It only took a few seconds for Discord to complete that, and looked at the darknuts all anxious to get back home.
"Wait," said Mathayus. "We prefer if we came back through Link."
"Yes. We do not mind the wall back to our homeland." Cedric added.
"Very well." Said Discord. "Just thought I would save you all the trouble from going through a terribly long walk back home when you get back to Hyrule."
"Our home is just next door to Hyrule." Said another Darknut soldier. "Besides, we are a warrior race, and we can always do the exercise to keep us in perfect fighting shape."
"Very well."
"Well, it was a pleasure fighting beside you again, Mathayus." Said Link
"I can say the same thing, Link." They both shook hands, and Link opened a door with his magic key, and it revealed the same village where the darknuts all lived together.
One at a time, the darknuts all formed a line in front of the door, and Mathayus was the last one after saying: "See you soon, my friends." Then the door closed
"Well, I suppose this is goodbye again." Link said
"As long as there is the magic key you have," said Applejack, "there's no such thing as goodbye."
Link smiled: "yeah."
He felt himself being hugged by every one of his friends, including the eland king, buffalo chief, changeling king, and others.
"Farewell, my bee friends." Said Goende. "Feel free to come to Zebrica whenever you feel like visiting."
They all said goodbye to the leaders and they all went back home to where they came from. It looked like the start of a new relationship from these allies to contribute to alm of Equestria, especially for diplomacy.
Link, Colin, Epona, Zelda, Storm, and Mathayus exchanged one last group hugbeith all their Equestrian friends and Link opened another door with the magic key.
At last, they were all home, and Zelda couldn't be any happier, and they found themselves at Castle Town market.
"The princess is back!" Said a female towny. The crowd was silent and they all cheered in a tremendous uproar of happy shouting.
"Princess Zelda has returned home!" A Male shopper cheered ik the wildest excitement.
Even many royal guards who saw her were shedding tears of joy to see their beloved princess back, given that they were tasked to Guard her with their lives.
"What on earth happened, Zelda? Did that Majora hurt you?" Asked the leader of the band of guards.
"Captain, please." Said Zelda with a chuckle. "I am absolutely fine. Just go back to your patrol and I need to settle in the Ordon village cor a little while."
"That village?" Asked the captain. "But, but-"
"Silence." Said the princess in a flat voice. "That is an order."
"Yes, princess." The guards gave in.
The princess looked at Link with a smile, and she asked: Mind if I come with you, my hero?"
"Not at all, Zelda." Link boldly replied. He hopped on Epona, and Colin rode on Storm. The hero offered Zelda an arm to help her get on the steed.
When she was on the saddle, Epona and Storm rode off to Ordon Village through Hyrule field.
It was a very fun way to get around from one place to another instead of just walking on their two feet. No, that would be far too exhausting for the three to do.
As soon as everyone was close to the village, Colin saw a small fence blocking their way, and he thought that maybe Storm was not afraid to try and jump over objects anymore.
"Storm, should we try this again?"
The colt looked back at his rider, but, he pulled most of his fear back and jumped over the fence with grave and majesty before landing on the ground with a loud thud.
"Whoo! Nice going, Storm!" Link cheered on. Deep down, Storm felt great and he was no longer feeling afraid of doing this kind of stunts anymore. Yes, he was feeling like a new horse in town.
Link and Zelda dismounted Epona when they reached the part of the Faron woods that the horse couldn't go to, AND Colin did the same with Storm, so the colt was left with his mother.
At the very pedestal where the Master Sword would rest, Link readied it and pierced the hole in the center, and thus, the Master Sword would sleep in it's resting place once again.
"Perfect. Looks like I won't need it for a while." The hero remarked before clasping his hands side to side in satisfaction.
He and the other two went back to the steeds and went all the way back to Ordon village.
The villagers were happy to see Link and Colin back home and happy to see Zelda back in Hyrule, safe and unharmed.
"The princess has returned!" Mayor Bo announced. A small sound of cheering of was heard from the villagers and Zelda was flattered to receive the welcoming like this.
Illia saw Link, and she gasped with joy, then ran up to him for a hug. "Link, you're back." She said.
Link wrapped her arms around her body in reply. "Glad to be back, Illia." He said.
"What happened?"
"It's a really long story." Said Colin. "It was a blast, I'll tell you that."
"So Illia, I hope everything was okay when I was gone again and-"
"Oh, come here, you." Said Illia, before pulling Link in for a long kiss. At first, Link was surprised, but he gave in the feeling and he was making out with his girlfriend.
Yes sir, everything was at peace once again. After Link and Zillow were done with their kiss, they, Colin, and princess Zelda went to sit in front of the pond with the frogs next to Colin's house.
While a small village, Ordon had so many wonders and beauties in the area, including this little pond.
These four were sitting in the shore with Colin sitting next to Zelda, Zelda sitting next to Ilia, and Illia sitting next to Link.
Colin bad an idea and said to his friends: "I'll be right back." Going in the house, the boy came back after one minute, and had a bag of what appeared to be fish food. "Here, I know a cute thing to do."
He pulled out a small handful of fish food and threw them at the waters of the pond. After a fraction of a second, the fish were taking their fair share of the bits, and a few frogs were doing the same. The others laughed and were all happy that this mess was all over. Meanwhile, Epona and Storm were sitting together as they watched their riders relax and have fun together.
Link looked over to his left, and saw the Hero of Time himself, sitting next to Colin and smiling at Link, and it was obviously telling him that he was proud of him for all that he accomplished against Majora. Link smiled back and he wondered if the others sitting next to him could see him.
Probably not, but it was good to know that Link was being in his ancestor's footsteps, doing something that his ancestor could not before. As for the Fierce deity's mask, he was still thinking if he should keep it in his possession, discard it and throw it away like garbage because of it's dark magic, or just use it at something to remember by in his own house. In dew time, he didn't know about what to do with the ancient mask.
One thin Link did know was that; He might need it when the time is right, at least in Equestria. For now, everything was at peace once again, and there would be nothing so gigantically evil coming to Hyrule any time soon, and Link can rest from all that he had been through, along with the rest of his friends that lived here in good ole Hyrule
The End
