"I... going back to Ponyville, and I'm gonna finish repairing my ship." Twilight said. "And I will no longer be a Red Guardian anymore."
At Canterlot Castle... Princess Celestia sees Twilight at the balcony mourning over the lost of her mentor, teacher and friend Talon Hawks. Celestia wanted to walk up and give Twilight a hug, but she knows she doesn't want it. "Spike told me what happened..." Twilight raised her head when Celestia talked to her. "I'm so sorry Twilight. I honetsly wish there could've been another way..."
"I... going back to Ponyville, and I'm gonna finish repairing my ship." Twilight said. "And I will no longer be a Red Guardian anymore."
Celestia's eyes wide after hearing what Twilight said.
"Twilight. It's not your fault." Celestia said.
"Yes it is. It's all of the Red Guardians' fault. We should've known Trevelyan was a traitor. And that he was working with Nightmare Moon." Twilight said. "I killed Talon cause he wanted to be put out of his misery due to the corruption. He was my childhood hero. He made me into a Red Guardian. Now without him or his guidance... I'm lost."
"I know how you feel Twilight." Celestia said.
"No you don't. I had to put down someone due to their corruption. You just let your sister be corrupted by her emotions and was to stubborn to realize it." Twilight said. It hurt Celestia's heart to hear that she let her sister become evil due to her stubbornness. "My mind is made up. I'm going to repair my ship. On my own. And I'm going back to Earth, let my family know the Red Guardians are dead. And I will be a Red Guardian no more. Rarity made me something to at least wear if I ever decide to stop wearing this stupid uniform 24/7."
Twilight walked out of balcony and went to her guest room to pack up.
"Twilight... Stop blaming yourself..." Celestia said to herself.
Back at the guest room...
Twilight was packing up while Spike walked into the room. "Hey Twilight, how you feeling?" He asked.
Twilight took a deep breath. "Spike. Remember when you told me about my counterpart?" She asked Spike.
"Yeah..."
"Was she friends with the others?"
"I guess so. From what I remember. Celestia only erased bits of memories from me but the other girls... She erased them all." Spike said.
"Probably for the best. A Twilight Sparkle is not meant for this world. Have you told Fluttershy about my plan after I get back to Ponyville?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah. She said she will tell the others the bad news and that you plan to finish the ship once and for all and get home." Spike answered.
"Good. Cause I want your mother to erase their memories of me from their minds." Twilight requested.
"What?"
The next day...
At sunrise Twilight finally made it back to Ponyville. She left the train station and walked back to Golden Oaks Library. She found where her ship was, only to find it... Even in more bad shape. "MY SHIP!!!" She ran to her broken worse ship. "Damn it! It'll take a few weeks to repair."
"Twilight. Your back." Pinkie said as the other girls walked towards Twilight.
"Girls. What the hell happened to my ship. At the way it is right now. It will take weeks to repair." Twilight said.
Applejack wanted to say something but Rainbow Dash put her hand over Applejack's mouth. "While you were gone... We were attack by a... Swarm of parasprites!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Parasprites! Ahhhh! Everyone for themselves!" Pinkie Pie cried out. Rarity grabbed onto Pinkie's tail and shook her head. "Ohhhh..."
"Parasprites?" Twilight asked. "What are those? Some kind of parasites?"
"Well you could say that. They were in your ship making a mess." Rarity said. Applejack knows they are lying. "We tried to get them out of there but they kept fighting back and threw us on the walls and the ceiling." Rarity and the others gave an innocent smile. Execpt Applejack.
"Twi. We're really sorry what happened to this Talon fellow. What you going to do?" Applejack asked.
"Nothing. This uniform is nothing but bad luck. The Red Guardians are a curse. And now their dead. So I will no longer be a Red Guardian." Twilight said.
"What?" The Mane 5 said.
"But... You can't quit. You helped me become Super Rainbow Dash." Rainbow Dash said.
"I've made up my mind." Twilight said. "I'm gonna get this ship repair and finally get back to Earth. And I will no longer be a Red Guardian."
Later...
Twilight, wearing a pink onesie, walked over to the trash and threw her uniform away forever. She walked away hoping to never see that suit again.
Twilight Sparkle, Red Guardian no more...
