Ocellus hears the bell ringing. "One more class then today is over. I need to head over to Headmare Glimmer's office," Ocellus trots to Starlight Glimmer's office.
Starlight Glimmer leaves Trxie's class and lets Trixie know she won't be attending her final class. She'll send one of the CMC Counselors to fill in her place. Starlight finds Sweetie Belle embracing one of the newer students in the hallway.
"Sweetie Belle."
"Yes, Headmare Glimmer?" Sweetie Belle turns to Starlight after talking with the Yak.
"I need you to participate in Trixie's class for me. I have other business to attend to."
"Sure thing, Headmare Glimmer," Sweetie Belle gallops to Trixie's class.
"Okay, I have some paperwork to file and take into account for the newer students of the school. Perhaps having a gathering during the weekend," Starlight speaks to herself while trotting in the hallway. She sees Ocellus knocking on her office door. "Ocellus,"
Ocellus turns and sees Starlight Glimmer. "Headmare Glimmer. I need to speak with you."
"Of course," Starlight uses her magic to open the door. "Step into my office, and we'll talk."
Ocellus steps inside Starlight's office and takes a seat in front of the desk. Starlight trots to her chair and sits. She wonders what Ocellus has in mind.
"Headmare Glimmer, when was the last Bar of Alliance meeting?"
"Three weeks ago, Ocellus. Why?" Starlight is curious as to why Ocellus brought up the Bar of Alliance.
"Something has been bothering me. We talked about discussions with Princess Twilight Sparkle and any motives of the sort. What about Queen Chrysalis?" Ocellus sees Starlight's eyes beam wide. "What are the plans with her?"
Starlight Glimmer puts her hooves on her head. "I can't believe I forgot about Queen Chrysalis. I can't believe we never mentioned her throughout any of the meetings."
"I think we should have a Bar of Alliance at the Castle of Friendship later tonight. A thought came to my mind. What if Princess Twilight Sparkle returns as a failure on her quest for Spike and decides to team up with Queen Chrysalis."
Starlight Glimmer takes a deep breath. The possibility of Twilight Sparkle and Queen Chrysalis teaming up could be a nightmare. A worst-case scenario is entering Tartarous and freeing anyone to form a deadly force. She starts nodding. "Alright. After class is over, I'm going to discuss with Discord, and he'll gather every creature for the Bar of Alliance briefing."
"Headmare Glimmer, I do have an eyewitnessed that saw Queen Chrysalis. May I bring her to the Bar of Alliance tonight?"
"Of course, she is key to find her," Starlight said.
"I'll bring her to the meeting at the Castle of Friendship," Ocellus said. She gets up. "See you later tonight, Headmare Glimmer."
"Will do, Ocellus," Starlight watches Ocellus leaving the room. She presses a button on the mic to make an announcement. "Professor Discord, after class, I want to see you in my office."
"Huh?" Discord hears the announcement.
"Ooooooh, Discord's in trouble," Discord's students tease him.
"Not funny," Discord replies. His students laughs. "I didn't do anything wrong."
An hour after school, Maud is taking Gallus to detention for the next forty minutes. The Dazzlings and the rest of the Unity Seven go to the cafeteria. Discord walks through the hallway while students are teasing him, thinking Discord is in trouble.
"I wonder why Starlight wants to see me after class. Something must be wrong." Discord thought to himself. He enters Starlight's office and shuts the door. "You wanted to see me, Headmare Glimmer?"
"Yes. Discord, we need to have another Bar of Alliance meeting."
"What for?" Discord is puzzled.
"We talked about Princess Twilight Sparkle and Spike throughout most of our briefings."
"Yes, we did. Are you sensing something amiss with Twilight Sparkle and any other possibilities we should embrace?"
"We haven't spoken about another threat that is loose in Equestria. We haven't spoken about any possibilities concerning Queen Chrysalis."
"Ooooooh," Discord cringes. "I totally forgot about Queen Chrysalis. Actually, I haven't heard anything of her since the hive reformed."
"Exactly. Queen Chrysalis could be scheming something else behind our backs. And another thought came to me. What if she teamed up with Princess Twilight Sparkle."
"That could be scary if the duo were to team up. Absolute disaster knowing that Twilight will be a public enemy for what she pulled back in Earth Land."
"My thoughts exactly," Starlight takes a deep breath. "Mind bringing the Bar of Alliance to the Castle of Friendship. Also, mind teleporting me to Canterlot Castle so I can inform the Princesses?"
"Sure. What time do you want to have the meeting?" Discord asks.
"8:00 tonight. It'll give me time to prepare the meeting room in the castle."
"Alright," Discord snaps his claw, teleporting Starlight in front of Canterlot Castle. Discord takes an umbrella and opens a window. He allows the winds to carry him to the Dragon Lands first.
Starlight Glimmer enters Canterlot Castle. She sees Princess Celestia trotting in the corridors to the throne. Princess Celestia sees Starlight Glimmer and trots up to her.
"Starlight Glimmer. What brings you here?" Princess Celestia read Starlight's body language. She knows something is amiss.
"I'm scheduling a Bar of the Alliance meeting at the Castle of Friendship at 8:00. Will you be available?"
"Of course. I'll inform my sister to attend the meeting. What's the topic for the meeting, Starlight?"
"It's about Princess Twilight Sparkle and Queen Chrysalis," Starlight sees Princess Celestia's demeanor change. Starlight sees how serious Celestia is from her glare.
Princess Celestia takes a deep breath. "Say no more. I already see where this is going. A possible team-up knowing Twilight Sparkle will return as a different pony without Spike."
Starlight nods. "I'll see you at 8:00," Starlight leaves Princess Celestia.
Princess Celestia looks at the ceiling while her thoughts overflow her mind. Endless possibilities with Queen Chrysalis and Twilight Sparkle, working together to get what they desire, no matter the cost.
It's now 5:30 in the afternoon. Starlight took an express train from Canterlot to Ponyville. She sees Rockhoof leaving Sugarcube Corner with a vanilla milkshake.
"Hey, lassie. I didn't see you after school. Where were you?" Rockhoof asks Starlight Glimmer.
"Canterlot to inform Princess Celestia about a Bar of Alliance meeting in the Castle of Friendship tonight at 8:00."
"Perfect. My friends are visiting me today. Remember what I asked of you the other day?"
"Yes. Starswirled the Bearded wanted to speak with Princess Celestia and Luna about something."
"Aye," Rockhoof takes a sip of his vanilla milkshake. "Now would be the time to discuss."
"After the meeting, he can discuss with Princess Celestia and Luna. Right now, I need to prepare a room for the meeting."
"Want some help, lass?"
"Yes, Rookhoof," Starlight said.
"Let's get to it," Rockhoof and Starlight head to the Castle of Friendship to set up the meeting room.
Ocellus enters room 310 to check on Krystina Larva; she sees Krystina Larva feeling paranoid. The rest of the Unity Seven want to check on Krystina Larva.
"Is Krystina doing okay?" Sandbar asks; he's worried about Krystina's health.
"Yea, how is she," Silverstream asks.
"Krystina is not feeling at home yet. She still needs a little more time to recuperate," Ocellus said.
Krystina Larva has a pillow over her head. She's sweating while hearing other voices besides Ocellus. She takes deep breathes to calm herself.
"What can we do to help her?" Smolder asks Ocellus.
"Be patient with Krystina. She's different from any other creature we come across," Ocellus calmly answers.
"Very well," Neighsay replies. "Krystina, if you hear us, we're in room 220. In the meantime, I have an essay to write for Rockhoof."
"I still can't believe he gave us homework on the first day," Gallus said.
"Yona likes Rockhoof's challenge. Yona will write something amazing!"
"I'll keep a close eye on Krystina. I'll be with you guys later," Ocellus said.
"Alright, Ocellus," Silverstream follows her friends to their room. Smolder and Sandbar follow closely.
It's now 7:30 at night. Starlight and Rockhoof finish setting up the room for the meeting. Starswirl, Somnambula, Mage Meadowbrook, Flash Magnus, and Mist Mane arrive at the castle.
"Rockhoof," Starswirl calls out his comrade.
"Starswirl, glad you and everyone else can make it," Rockhoof hugs his friend.
"Likewise," Starswirl replies.
"Starswirl, it's nice to see you again," Starlight said. "So, what do you need to ask Princess Celestia about?"
"You'll hear that discussion later. My comrades and I want to participate in the Bar of Alliance meeting," Starswirl said.
"Very well, Starlswirl. Please, follow me to the meeting room," Starlight escorts Starswirl and the others to the meeting room.
Discord arrives at the Castle of Friendship with Thorax, Ember, Prince Rutherford, and Gilda. Grampa Gruffs won't be participating in tonight's Bar of Alliance meeting. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor arrive with Flurry Heart. They receive word from Princess Celestia about tonight's meeting. Princess Celestia and Luna arrive at the Castle of Friendship. Princess Luna is postponing her duties for today.
Ocellus sees that the time is 7:40 and nudges Krystina Larva. "Okay, it's time to go."
Krystina Larva takes a deep breath. "Does your friends know about..?"
"They will, and they will support me. I'm not worried about the outcome my friends would react. They'll know what is right, fair, and just."
"Okay," Krystina Larva gets up. She takes a deep breath.
"Let's go," Ocellus leaves the room while Krystina follows. They bump into the rest of the Unity Seven standing by the door. "Hey, what the?"
Neighsay, Sandbar, Smolder, Silverstream, Yona, Gallus, and Silverstream nervously smile. Ocellus gets the impression that they were eavesdropping during the hours.
"How long were you there?" Ocellus asks her friends.
"For a while. Curiosity got the better of us," Silverstream speaks for her friends.
"How much do you know?" Ocellus asks again.
"We know who Krystina is. If you believe she's worthy of a second chance to redeem herself, we're with you all the way," Sandbar said.
"I received a second opportunity, and now, I'm a completely different pony for the better. The Dazzlings got a second chance. The same was with Discord, even with his Spike disguised ploy. From what I've seen so far, a second chance can help any creature."
"What about Princess Twilight, Neighsay?" Smolder asks Neighsay.
"If Twilight Sparkle truly repents and reflects on her actions, perhaps. If she doesn't, she's not worthy of any chances."
"Fair enough," Smolder replies after hearing Neighsay's statement.
"The way I see it, it's nearly similar to what Spike and Thorax went through to give a Changeling a chance. I'm sure things won't be intense during the meeting," Ocellus said.
"Well, let's go," Gallus said. "We wouldn't want to keep them waiting, now do we?"
The Unity Seven and Krystina Larva leave the dorm. They head to the Castle of Friendship. Starlight is in the room, watching every creature grab their seats. It's 8:00 at night.
"Thank you for coming every creature," Starlight starts the meeting. "Tonight's discussion is about-" Starlight sees the door opening. Every creature turns to see the Unity Seven and Krystina Larva. "Right on time, Unity Seven."
"Say, why is Krystina Larva here?" Discord asks.
"There's a reason for that, Discord. Starlight, I hate to interrupt you but, I need to say what the meeting is about," Ocellus said.
Starlight turns to every creature present for their approval. Every creature nod and allow Ocellus to speak her mind. Starlight steps aside, giving Ocellus the floor to speak her mind.
Ocellus takes a deep breath. "Everyone, I'm the one that gave Starlight the idea of speaking about Queen Chrysalis."
"That's what this is about?" Thorax said in shock.
"I can see why the topic of Queen Chrysalis would be vital. She hasn't appeared in over a year since the hive changed," Ember said.
"Prince Rutherford hasn't heard much news about the Queen Bug in ages."
"What about Queen Chrysalis? What do you have to say, Ocellus?" Gilda crosses her arms, waiting for an answer.
"I gave the impression of Queen Chrysalis being dangerous to society and a possible team-up with Twilight Sparkle if she returns to Equestria."
"That would be disastrous," Ember imagines the wicked power if the two were to team up.
"That's if Twilight Sparkle doesn't lose her horn and wings," Gilda said.
"That would be scary, especially with her knowledge about magic," Princess Cadance said.
"They would form a formidable duo that speaks chaos in the making," Thorax said. "No offense, Discord."
"None-taken," Discord replies.
"However," Ocellus said, which confused every creature.
"What do you mean, however, Ocellus?" Thorax is curious as to why Ocellus said that.
"There is something you should know about Queen Chrysalis. There's someone here that I brought that will discuss Queen Chrysalis. Come up, Krystina."
Krystina slowly trots to Ocellus. She looks at everyone in the room, expecting the worse when she unveils herself.
"Krystina, don't worry, what you'll say, we'll be mindful and respectful," Starlight reassuringly says.
"Get ready to witness the unthinkable," Krystina takes a deep breath and uplifts her disguise. Every creature in the room except for the Unity Seven gasps in shock and horror.
"QUEEN CHRYSALIS!" Everyone except the Unity Seven shouts in unison.
Queen Chrysalis sadly sighs. She expected this and now awaits for the onslaught.
"How.., wait.., what!?" Starlight is confused.
"I'm taking you down!" Shining Armor lights his horn, shooting a magic beam at Queen Chrysalis.
Queen Chrysalis takes the hit. She gets knocked to the ground. Shining Armor charges and gets ready to take Queen Chrysalis down once and for all when Ocellus gets in the way.
"Get out of the way, Ocellus!" Shining Armor demands.
"No! I didn't bring her here to be assaulted like this!" Ocellus shouts.
"She's a monster! She impersonated my wife! She plotted devilish monstrosities against Equestria! She must pay for her crimes!" Shining Armor grits his teeth.
"You want to harm Queen Chrysalis? You're going have to go through me," Ocellus said.
"I have to agree with Shining Armor. She has done vile atrocities in the land of Equestria," Princess Cadance said. "She impersonated me after imprisoning me. She weakened my husband and nearly ruined our wedding."
Thorax walks up to Ocellus. He takes her side.
"Thorax, what are you doing?" Shining Armor angrily asks.
"Witnessing history being repeated when it comes to defending a Changeling," Thorax calmly answers.
"Thorax..," Queen Chrysalis sees Thorax for the first time in a long time.
"It's good to see you again, Queen Chrysalis."
"Starlight, what you said moments ago, is it still in effect?" Queen Chrysalis stands up.
"Yes," Starlight nods.
"Starlight!" Princess Cadance and Shining Armor exclaim. "You can't be serious?" The couple said in unison.
"Queen Chrysalis is a tyrant! She can't be allowed in society," Shining Armor pleas.
"Have you forgotten what she did to us, to your friends?" Princess Cadance angrily states.
"Here's something I'm not proud of, and yet, I was given a chance to change. I altered the timelines so much it left nothing but pain and suffering for each of you standing and sitting. I took cutie marks away from ponies to live in an equalist town! Let Queen Chrysalis speak her mind."
"As you know," Discord stands up. "I brought chaos to the lands many times and tortured everypony before having the chance to reform. I'm willing to hear what Chrysalis has to say."
Queen Chrysalis is in shock hearing what Discord and Starlight said.
"Before having a second chance to change for the better, I was a hypocritical racist," Neighsay said.
"My reign as Nightmare Moon and forcing eternal night," Princess Luna speaks up. "After my reign, I was given a second chance. I want to hear what Queen Chrysalis has to say."
"Cadance, Shining Armor. Sit down," Princess Celestia commands the two to sit back down. They do so while keeping their focus on Queen Chrysalis."
"May I remind you what the Dazzlings have done," Rockhoof said. "They came back, started a new chapter in their lives, and now students at the School of Friendship."
"I didn't come here to strike terror or input fear in any of you. I'm here because I'm tired of being alone. All I ever wanted was my subjects to be happy and fed. I now see how they are progressing. I miss my family but, I don't know where to begin. I did want vengeance, but it'll lead me nowhere. After talking with Ocellus, she sees there's a new me ready to blossom. I'm here to say I'm sorry for what I brought to Equestria during my demented reign. I allowed my anger to drive me to great lengths. My hunger pushed aside other alternatives. I want to start anew, but I don't know where to begin. What should I do?"
"Rot in Tartarus!" Shining Armor answers. Discord whacks him with a newspaper. "OW!"
"Go home. Be with your kin," Discord answers.
"Queen Chrysalis," Thorax walks up to her. "The hive has changed dramatically. You'll see Changelings behave not from the old days. We are more family-like. We will welcome you in open hooves and arms. There is always a place for you in the hive."
"I guess not as a Queen no more..," Queen Chrysalis sadly sighs.
"You have years of experience, and I could use some pointers. I'm still new with the royalty part. The hive will remember you as our Queen, but I think for the new you, you may have to relinquish your title as Queen."
Queen Chrysalis removes her crown for the first time and holds onto it for a few moments. She gives it to Thorax as a sign of renouncing her title.
"My name is Chrysalis, your highness."
"You can't be serious!?" Shining Armor furiously said.
"I approve of this," Discord said.
"Does anyone reject?" Shining Armor asks.
"If you repent and admit your faults, you get to claim a second chance. If she tosses it out the window, then anything goes," Gilda said.
Princess Celestia trots up to Chrysalis. Princess Celestia gives a cold shoulder stare at Chrysalis then smiles. "I forgave my sister after she apologized to me the night she came back. Ever since then, she has become better. Discord reformed, Trixie reformed, Starlight reformed. I've seen many creatures reforming when given a second chance. I'm willing to forgive you and pardon all crimes you enacted."
"You can't be serious?!" Shining Armor is angry at Celestia.
"I am. I will allow you to earn my trust, Chrysalis. If you slip up, decide to go against my trust and the Changelings for any vengeance you have deep inside, you will feel my wrath. Am I'm clear?"
"Crystal," Chrysalis calmly replies. "Discord, Luna, Neighsay, and Starlight. Thank you for opening up."
"It was the right thing to do," Discord replies.
"Second chances should be given to every creature when they truly repent and reflect," Princess Luna replies.
"I needed to say that. It was the right thing to do," Neighsay says.
"Not everyone here knows about my attempt to alter the timeline for the sake of vengeance, and I was so easily forgiven too," Starlight takes a deep breath. "Another creature that's forgiven is Tempest Shadow. She teamed up with the Storm King and turned Princes Cadance, Celestia, and Luna into crystalized statues."
Princess Cadance bit her lip after that statement. She remembers forgiving Tempest for what she did.
"I'm all for giving Chrysalis a second chance in life," Prince Rutherford decrees.
"Same," Gilda concurs.
"Same with me," Discord said.
"The Unity Seven believes so," Neighsay said, speaking for his friends. They nod in agreement.
"I concur," Princess Luna said.
"Aye," Rockhoof said.
"Until we see it, we'll believe it," Shining Armor and Princess Cadance say in unison.
"If you like, Chrysalis, you can still come to the School of Friendship. The doors are open for you," Starlight said.
"I'll take that into consideration. Right now, I want to go home," Chrysalis said.
"I think this'll conclude the Bar of Alliance meeting," Starlight decrees.
"Ocellus, thank you. I'll remember this day for the rest of my life," Chrysalis wasn't expecting Ocellus to hug her. She feels a bit different with the hugging. Chrysalis now knows there's a lot of adjusting in her life with the second chance she now has.
"You know what a hug is, Chrysalis?" Thorax asks.
"I do. I never gave one before," Chrysalis looks down at Ocellus.
"Well, we at the hive do give hugs. Give it a try," Thorax smiles.
Chrysalis leans down to give a hug to Ocellus. Ocellus smiles which causes Chrysalis to slightly smile. It looks awkward to every creature else in the room.
"I have a lot to teach her." Thorax thought to himself.
A loud crash startles everyone in the room.
"What was that?!" Silverstream shouts.
"That came from the portal room!" Discord exclaims.
Every creature leaves the meeting room and heads over to the portal room. Discord and Starlight know that was Sunset Shimmer, but it's too soon for her to return. They expected a week's top for her return. When they arrive, every creature's jaws drop when they see not only Sunset Shimmer but also Twilight Sparkle and Spike.
"Quick! Destroy the portal before those bastards come!" Twilight (Sci-Twi) shouts. Twilight (Sci-Twi) is a unicorn with glasses.
Sunset uses her magic to deactivate and destroy the portal, damaging it beyond repair unless Discord uses his magic to restore it.
"Twily?" Shining Armor sees Twilight. His heart is pumping.
Twilight (Sci-Twi) turns and tears in happiness. "Shining!" Twilight (Sci-Twi) runs up to her brother and hugs her. She cries in his arms.
"Wow," Spike is gazing at the interior of the room.
Sunset pants heavily after destroying the portal. She turns to see the Bar of Alliance in the room; jaws still dropped while watching this shocking revelation. Sunset is in shock to see Queen Chrysalis in the room.
"I can explain," Sunset said.
"Explain," Princess Celestia. She eyeballs Spike and Twilight (Sci-Twi) in the room.
"Twily, what happened?" Shining looks at his sister. He knows she's not his Twilight because she's missing her wings.
"The horrors.., the nightmares.., the Changelings..," Twilight (Sci-Twi) said in tears.
"Please explain!" Every creature in the room says in unison. They are freaked out with the revelations.
"Discord," Sunset catches her breath.
"Yes," Discord turns to Sunset.
"Destroy the portal. Let nothing find its way to that other realm."
"Done," Discord snaps his claw, the portal is turned to dust.
"Can we go to a different room?" Sunset asks.
"Back to the meeting room," Starlight announces.
Five minutes later. Every creature returns to the room with many questions in mind. Sunset, Twilight (Sci-Twi), and Spike are sitting together. Twilight (Sci-Twi) has Spike in her arms while sitting down.
"What happened?" Princess Celestia asks.
"I went back to the human world where my friends are. I wanted to have one more week with them before moving on with my life here in Equestria. The madness started at Pinkie's house. Rarity texts messages Pinkie to let her know she'll be coming with Sweetie Belle late. We were having a slumber party when a roaring blackout occurred. Maud tried to fix the power while we were waiting for the pizza guy. Rarity and Sweetie Belle show up wearing light greenish-blue jumpsuits while wielding black scissors. Then Applejack and Rainbow Dash were ambushed by two people wearing the same jumpsuits with their hoodies up. Twilight (Sci-Twi), Spike, Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy sat at the couch. Three people came into the room with their hoodies up aligned themselves with Rarity and Sweetie Belle. Then one person came dragging the lifeless body of Maud Pie. That person instructs the two people to unveil themselves. It was revealed to us the hooded people are Twilight (Sci-Twi), Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and my human self. It turns out that I stole the life of my counterpart. My counterpart was taken and experimented. Tortured by Madam President Chrysalis. She called it the Changelings Project. Her purpose was to replace society with people she can control. She used my counterpart's genetic makeup to create copies of a person. She was able to create the body but not the soul. With her experiments gone wrong, she abandoned the project and left my counterpart to rot. She devised a plan to step out of the darkness and into the light. My counterpart unleashed the Changelings to kill their counterpart to be untethered. She devised a wicked game. The untethering to be free of the burden. We found out that the Changelings killed Rarity. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy died right before our very own eyes. We were able to escape but were followed because my counterpart has a unique ability to go into the minds of her Changelings to find out where we were. We head to Twilight's house in hopes of devising a plan. We were ambushed. Spike got kidnapped, and Applejack died. Pinkie, Twilight (Sci-Twi), and I suited up and went after my counterpart to end her and rescue Spike. We played one more twisted game. After Twilight (Sci-Twi) and Pinkie defeated their Changelings, they helped me defeat my counterpart. That's when I used my magic to see her memories. The idea was for me to take her place in controlling the Changelings. However, there was a major flaw. My counterpart has a direct link to the Changelings, and one of her commands, if she were to pass, is to purge. Any survivors possibly out there would be dead. Pinkie Pie made the ultimate sacrifice. She stood behind to watch my counterpart, allowing me, Twilight (Sci-Twi), and Spike to come here."
Sunset's explanation took an hour. Everyone is in shock and horror. Even Chrysalis is in disbelief that her counterpart created Changelings for a cruel ingenious scheme. She has a lot to reflect on herself to better herself.
"Shining Armor," Princess Cadance said.
"Shut up. I don't want to hear it. I know what I need to do now."
"Do it tomorrow," Princess Cadance commands.
"My mom is going to kill me for hiding crucial information," Shining Armor imagines the reaction her mother will have.
"Celestia. Are you going to take Twilight under your wing..?" Princess Luna sees the perfect clean slate for Celestia to use.
"I need time to think it over, Luna," Princess Celestia approaches Twilight (Sci-Twi) and Spike. "Twilight."
Twilight (Sci-Twi) looks up at Celestia. "Yes, Principal?" Twilight (Sci-Twi) instinctively says.
"It's Princess. Spike..," Princess Celestia sees Spike's youth and knows he's not hers but sees she has a second chance with building a stronger friendship with him.
"Yes?" Spike looks up at Princess Celestia. He couldn't help but watch her mane flowing and glowing the way it is.
"Welcome home," Princess Celestia smiles.
"Sunset said, Spike and I can stay in this castle cause it used to belong to my demented self."
"That is correct," Princess Celestia nods. "Every creature, we will discuss certain matters in the next meeting next week.
"Princess, there's something I've been waiting to speak with you about," Starswirl said.
"Very well. As for every creature else, this meeting is concluded. There is a lot we need to take in and need time to process. Discord, send everyone home."
"Understood," Discord snaps his claw. Thorax, Chrysalis, Ember, Prince Rutherford, Gilda, Princess Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart teleports home. Discord uses his magic to teleport back home with Sunset Shimmer.
"Students, you should go back to the dorm," Starlight said.
"We will," The Unity Seven said in unison. They leave the room.
"Twilight, Spike," Starlight approaches them. "Follow me, and I'll take you to your room."
"Okay," Twilight (Sci-Twi) and Spike said. They follow Starlight.
"What do you want to talk about, Starswirl?" Princess Celestia asks.
"It's about Twilight Sparkle and her hunt for Spike. I know a spell that'll bring my friends and me to that world to retrieve Twilight."
"That won't be necessary, Starswirl."
"Huh? Why not?" Starlswirl is confused. Tonight has been a confusing night for him by shocking revelations left and right.
"Earth Land magic wielders outclass us in every way possible. When I fought one of them, she dominated me, cut my horn, and sliced my wing. Never in my life, I was overwhelmed by someone such as Erza Scarlet. If she was here, we'll all be submitting to her as Queen of Equestria."
Starswirl is silent after hearing that statement. He takes a deep breath. "So much for my idea. Also, I did a ton of research about the origins of dragons."
"What discoveries have you found about the dragons, Starswirl?"
"With the engravings, I deciphered while visiting the Dragon lands, one mentions about the Exodus project that details a drawn gate with dragon eggs and a black and blue dragon calling itself the Dragon King of the Apocalypse. The rest of the engravings are scrapped and illegible to read."
"Acnologia.., impossible..," Princess Celestia said in shock.
"Who and what is Acnologia?" Starswirl becomes afraid that Celestia knows the name.
"The Dragon King of the Apocalypse Spike the Fairy fought. Continue with your progress on deciphering the rest of the engravings."
"I will," Starswirl leaves. He informs his allies about the trip to retrieve Twilight Sparkle coming to a disclosure. He says his goodbye to Rockhoof and leaves.
Starlight opens the door to Twilight and Spike's bedroom. Twilight (Sci-Twi) and Spike enter the room. Spike sees a basket while Twilight (Sci-Twi) sees a bed.
"Thanks, Starlight," Twilight (Sci-Twi) said. She has a lot of mixed feelings about being in Equestria.
"You're welcome. If you need me, my room is around the corner," Starlight leaves.
"I'm supposed to sleep in this basket?" Spike observes the basket that has a blanket and pillow.
"Absolutely not. You're sleeping with me," Twilight (Sci-Twi) said. Spike walks up to her. "Spike, you're not my pet anymore. You are my friend. I'm your mother from this point going forward. That's how much I love you ever since I was younger. Until you're older and bigger than me, that's when I get you a bed and a room of your own, somehow," Twilight (Sci-Twi) sighs heavily. "I don't know where to begin."
"How about we start things tomorrow," Spike yawns. "I want to go to bed," Spike gets on the bed and under the covers.
"Sounds good, Spike," Twilight (Sci-Twi) smiles and kisses Spike's cheek. She gets on the bed and holds Spike closely, snuggling him in her arms. "Good night, Spike."
"Good night, Twilight. I love you," Spike smiles and falls asleep.
"I love you too, Spike," Twilight (Sci-Twi) smiles and falls asleep.
