For two years of visiting Equestria, Admiral Derek has managed to establish a new UFF military port 100km outside of Equiss' Orbit to ensure that the land of ponies will be supported when another alien attack comes their way, with the aid of Commander Fenirius and Captain Monet. Thankfully, during those two years, the Sectanium Empire didn't initiate any more attacks after their first major defeat in Equestria. From the account of UFF's spies, they're still struggling to recover from their losses after getting overwhelmed by such numbers, not to mention that the Empress is feeling traumatized after losing most of her Warriors during the battle in Equestria. As a result for her failure, Empress Vanista remained idle back in Sacreus, unable to expand their territory any further.
As for Twilight, because she rules over Equestria, she went back to doing her Royal duties around Canterlot and responding to various assignments from the other allied nations for aid. Thankfully, Twilight already managed to setup several guard divisions to escort her at 24/7 shifts that will be called in when ordered so that she won't get taken away without warning again. Because of all that, she can't help her UFF friends tour around the pony lands. So, she let her pony friends take that job instead.
For the Sectanium stragglers that were rounded up by the Equestrian Royal Guard, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were able to make Dialuria confess her guilt. During her interrogation in the dungeons underneath Canterlot, Dialuria admitted that she was the one responsible for pony napping Princess Twilight Sparkle after hours of being glared at and by being terrorized by Pinkie's makeshift room of horrors. As soon as Pinkie and Fluttershy relayed Janus' confession to Twilight, the Princess of Friendship has sentenced Janus and the prisoners to 25 years in Tartarus, harvesting gems in the mines.
At the same time during the 2-year construction of the new UFF military port, Zeck, Xul, Pam, Chmone, and Sonja have made a couple of trips outside of Equestria as they have taken a tour around the countryside with the aid of the Mane 5, Celestia, and Luna. They couldn't help but feel delighted to see that most of the ponies in their culture did is pretty similar to what any other human would've done. Before they went on their tour around Equestria, Twilight did loan two huge bags full of Equestrian bits, which are used as part of the country's currency to buy stuff with, to Xul and Zeck. She reminded both of them to spend it wisely during their visit in Equestria.
When touring around Canterlot, Celestia showed Xul and Zeck the School of Magic for Gifted Unicorns since she used to run that place as their headmare before she retired. As of now, Twilight has been given full authority to run Celestia's former school of gifted unicorns after her coronation; it's also due to the fact that Twilight used to study in that school when she was still a filly back then. Amazed by how Twilight was able to learn a lot in Celestia's School and all over Canterlot, Xul used some of the money Twilight lended her to buy several educational and history books from the School Bookstore just to understand Equestria's culture in a more better method than from what Twilight elaborated.
During their 3-day tour around Ponyville, Zeck, Ash, and Xul felt totally amazed to see such ponies make use of their time by doing things that humans and other aliens could not. In the following seasons, they also witness the experience of Nightmare Night, which is similar to that of Halloween on Earth except it was dedicated by the legend of Nightmare Moon, and Heart's Warming Eve, similar to that of X-Mas on Earth much to their thrilling amusement. After three months of Hearts Warming Eve, Xul learned that the ponies follow a traditional schedule in cleaning up winter to make way for the spring, since it wasn't normal for a human to do so on Earth. They all find it surprising that most of the ponies are really good at working hard to help maintain their settlements during the seasons. In fact, the Mane 5 all have Twilight to thank for since her organizing skills are part of her utmost expertise. Because of Twilight's organizing aid, they were able to complete Winter Wrap Up before meeting the deadline in Ponyville.
Later on, Zeck and Chmone visited the School of Friendship while touring around the area thanks to Headmare Starlight Glimmer and Vice-Headmare Sunburst. As they toured around the school, Xul couldn't help but feel totally amazed when learning about how Twilight was able to open up the school for every creature to learn about friendship. For Zeck and Chmone, they both felt totally nostalgic to think that these ponies can really learn about almost anything just as much as humans and the other aliens could like Twilight did. In fact, she and the Mane 5 have Chacellor Neighsayer to thank for. It wasn't easy to convince him to let every creature attend the school other than ponies at first. However, ever since the Young Six saved him and the school from being sabotaged by Cozy Glow, Neighsayer had finally learned his lesson in not judging a creature by their past nature. As of now, Neighsayer has fully accepted Twilight's teachings of friendship and made several arrangements to allow young dragons, yaks, changelings, kirin, griffons, and hippogriffs to attend the school the same way the other ponies would. For Xul, she finds all of the students attending the School of Friendship to be very fascinating beyond what she would expect from them.
From Zeck's point of view, he couldn't imagine how much credibility Twilight was able to gain after accepting the friendship of other creatures outside of Equestria. For Xul, when seeing Twilight's Castle and the School of Friendship, she felt totally amazed by how such a little pony can achieve such a big dream thanks to the aid of her friends. In Ash's POV, she decided to take notes over what she, Xul, Pam, and Sonja went through during their tour around Ponyville. Zeck may have find everything in Ponyville overwhelming but it was thanks to Xul and Sonja that they were able to record most of the Equestrian Culture down in their journals and notebooks.
When they spent some of their time in Dodge Junction and Appleloosa for a few weeks learning more about how most of the ponies were able to socialize with buffalos, Kirin, and the griffons. Chmone felt a bit nostalgic to meet several creatures that look pretty rough and stern-looking. However, he did his best to stay cool since Applejack and Rainbow already know how most of those creatures lived their life by before they accepted their friendship.
In the Crystal Empire, Xul and Pam couldn't help but feel totally amazed by such crystalized environment as well as seeing so many crystalized products being harvested, manufactured, and sold on the market. At the same time, Rarity also felt obsessed in purchasing crystalized jewelry to help improve her fashion designs in her boutiques in Canterlot, Ponyville, and in Manehattan. Heeding Twilight's advice over the money she lend them during their visit, Xul only bought crystalized souvenirs that she can only bring onboard Zeck's ship; she only got 5 jewelry necklaces made out of crystals and a light-blue sundress embroidered with blue, crystalized diamonds that Rarity personally designed for her in Ponyville.
When they stopped by Yakyakistan, most of the UFF were feeling startled and frightened by such a rowdy atmosphere caused by the locale yaks living there. Of course, Pinkie did her best to make sure they all stay cool since she is very aware of their natural-born traditions. In fact, their leader Prince Rutherford already address Pinkie as an honorable yak since she is the only pony that was able to understand him at first hoof before the rest of her pony friends did. Though, Zeck and Xul felt a bit shaken after putting up with Rutherford's obnoxious bellowing and stomping inside his village. No matter, they still were able to trade in stories about their adventures in space with the Yak Prince much to his excitement. Though, its a shame that Rutherford couldn't help out since he didn't have enough yak warriors to spare in the battlefield yet. However, upon hearing how the UFF helped defend Canterlot all over the news, Rutherford insisted on making up to his lack of aid by sending a battalion of yak warriors led by General Pious Tusk in taking on the enemies that threatened the Ruler of Equestria openly.
In the Changeling Kingdom, Xul felt a bit jealous over the fact that most of the Changelings there can actually disguise themselves into almost any creature they could think of. Since it didn't matter who or what, Xul couldn't imagine how they would help out the UFF as spies too. In fact, Xul was thrilled to hear that Thorax and his kin intercepted the Sectanium forces besieging Canterlot earlier by disguising themselves as her own kind.
In Manehattan, Xul and Pam could see that most of the city around them is almost just as futuristic to that of Sacreus. In fact, while walking with the Mane 5 down the metropolitan streets, they all stopped by at Saddle Row N Rec Boutique so that Rarity can check up how Coco Pommel is doing. As the store manager of the Manehattan Boutique, Coco has already made several unique dress embroidered with pink and purple sashes ready to try out. Seeing this, Rarity's started to have stars in her eyes while showing an intense, creepy grin. It's as if Rarity had another opportunity to have her guests to try on new dresses.
Rarity used her magic to transfigure most of the dresses Coco made to have Pam, Xul, and Ash try on. All three alien women couldn't help but feel nervicted when being presented up front while wearing the dresses that Rarity made for them during her latest fashion show in the Manehattan theater. However, after receiving all sorts of positive appeals thanks to Hoity Toity and Photo Finish, Xul and Pam couldn't help but giggle with such alluring admiration. After the fashion shows, Rarity sold Coco's designed dresses to Xul and Pam for a lower cost thanks to Twilight's royal approval. They each had only one big paper bag stuffed with some of the best dresses that Rarity gave them during their tour around Manehattan. Xul couldn't imagine just how fun it was fitting right in with the ponies of Equestria.
Of course, they still run into all sorts of strange, dangerous creatures whenever the five people and the Mane 5 aren't anywhere near the pony cities or settlements. Thankfully, Fluttershy and Celestia were able to deal with them at first hoof before any of the UFF people or the rest of the ponies could react. Celestia may have retired from the throne in Canterlot but she still has power to protect her fellow ponies personally and Fluttershy always finds ways to discourage hostile animals from hurting her friends by resorting to such assertive demeanor.
So far, Xul, Pam, Ash, Zeck, and Sonja were living off in a world full of excitement, adventure, fantasy, and wonder in Equestria. They just couldn't get enough from experiencing such a unique, monarchy culture that the Equestrian ponies had to offer, especially when they attended to the Buckball sporting events in the School of Friendship and when watching the wonderbolts do their awesome stunts in the sky with Rainbow as their full-fledged Wonderbolt Commander.
Eventually, after they finished the new UFF military port, they name that port EQT-19 as a way to honor Princess Twilight Sparkle and the forces of Equestria in helping them defend the planet from the Sectanium Fleet. Now that the Military Port is established to protect all of the Temar Galaxy, Twilight send in Flash Mangus and a battalion of Royal Guards to fortify the garrisons there along with the rest of the UFF Fleet.
Later on in Canterlot, Zeck has received orders from Admiral Wellington to have him and his men be recalled back to the fleet, prompting him to prepare for depart into space once again. At the same time, the other UFF officers decided to end their tour around Equestria as they went back to Canterlot to pack up their bags before departing to their new Military Port above the Equis orbit.
Celestia and Luna packed up their backs from Silver Shoals for they wanted to go on another exciting adventure in outer space. Even though Luna was hesitant to go with the UFF, Celestia felt even more excited than ever. Because their retirement home in Silver Shoals was a dull place to live in, Celestia wanted to start her retirement again but in a more adventurous method. Nevertheless, since Celestia and Luna are no longer ruling over Equestria, this may be the time to take their chance in become the heroes they both imagined in their dreams. However, they still need time to say goodbye to Princess Twilight first.
At the landing port in front of the Palace, they were spare platoons of Royal Guard ponies and groups of Guard Officers from Canterlot and the Crystal Empire, marching onto the landing ramps of Zeck's and Monet's UFF battlecruisers. During the time they went onboard the UFF ships, groups of Royal Guard earth ponies are hauling Royal Airships into the ships' hangars before securing them in place. Most of the pony adventurers and pony field doctors are seeing bidding farewell to their loved ones and their children before they proceed onto the UFF ships, signing the registration papers first.
For the Yaks, Changelings, and the hippogriffs, their leaders send in two detachments each before they proceeded onboard the UFF ships, along with the Equestrian Royal Guard ponies as they all bid farewell to their families before they protect Equestria's orbit by all means.
In fact, Daring Do, Mage Meadowbrook, and Rockhoof decided to part with the UFF in hopes of finding a way to placate the Sectanium Empire of their madness as well as finding a cure to treat the Red Virus when they reach their homeland one day. It may be a huge risk, but it's a whole new challenging adventure for them to achieve what no other creature has.
Daring Do did promised Rainbow Dash that she'll still publish more books about her adventures in space just so that she will let the young Wonderbolt know that she is doing fine.
As Mage Meadowbrook takes her time to bid farewell to Starswirl, Mistmane, Somnambula, and Stygian, she was able to load up her wagon full of bottles, vials, and flasks that she collected from her ancestral home and from Zecora's hut with the aid of Rockhoof. She can only hope that Mage will find the source of the Red Virus and to treat it with the best of her abilities.
Rockhoof couldn't even wait to go on adventures with Celestia and Luna since it is the only thing he would live for. In fact, he still promised Applejack and Yona that he'll still send in postcards to let them know how he is well doing out there beyond the stars. Somnambula and Mistmane both wished good luck for all of the ponies departing with the UFF. Just like that, Rockhoof, Mage, and Daring Do all disappeared as they proceeded onboard Zeck's ship.
Starswirl handed Celestia a spell book that is meant to help her and Luna combat against the Dark Arts of Magic, which also includes how to counterattack against Mind-Control. He also reminded them to read and learn how to use the spells in that book whenever they have time.
Just before Celestia and Luna went onboard Zeck's ship, Princess Twilight appeared in front of the two alicorn sisters and the pillars of Equestria, still wearing her crown and royal necklace. Before they knew it, Twilight started to have tears coming down her eyes for she can see that this will be last time that she'll see her predecessors before they leave Equestria for good.
"Celestia, Luna. I-I-I know I can't stop either of you from departing into space. Are you sure you want to go with them instead of staying in Silver Shoals?" Twilight asked as she sniffed for a bit.
"Well Twilight, it was pretty a dull life there. Since Zeck told me about what he and his friends live for, I just found another exciting opportunity to spend my retirement with them." Celestia added in, while carrying her huge backpack on top of her body. "I know it's dangerous to get involved in another creature's war, but I still like to live with really good thrills."
"Fret not, Twilight. I'll do my best to make sure that Tia will not do anything reckless when hanging out with those guys in space." Luna added in.
"Also, I'll still be sending in message scrolls to you just so that you'll know that we're doing fine." Celestia smiled as she wiped Twilight's tears away with her hoof. "After all, I know you'll be able to resume your role as Ruler of Equestria after that because I believe in you, Twilight."
"And I will promise you that we'll do our best to keep the space monsters away from you and this country." Luna said, sympathizing with Twilight. "You have our word."
"Celestia. Luna. T-Thank you so much. I-I-I-I'm not worthy!!!" Twilight said, before she wailed when hugging both of the two alicorns all at once. While being embraced in their hooves, Twilight started crying again but with happiness that she is finally going back to ruling over Equestria once again, bringing forth back the future of the land of Harmony and Friendship.
After five minutes of embracing each other, Twilight lets go of Celestia and Luna before turning around to see Zeck, Xul, Chmone, Pam, and Sonja carrying their luggage and their bought souvenirs to Zeck's Battlecruiser. At the same time, Twilight sees that the Mane 5, and Spike are with them as they helped their new friends pack up their stuff from their guest rooms inside the palace. Before they went on, all five of Twilight's new friends stopped before they approached her one last time, with Celestia and Luna standing at the sidelines.
"So Twilight, are you sure you didn't have anything to do other than governing Equestria?" Zeck asked, mentioning it on the first day that he used the translator to communicate with Twilight.
"Sorry Zeck, since I'm already familiar with all of Canterlot and the palace that I used to stay at with Celestia, my place is here. My future is here. I told you I rule over these lands." Twilight said, feeling guilty for turning down Zeck's request. "No matter, I already put in a work order to have some of my best guards to aid you, didn't I?!"
"Yeah, I know. So far, about 2,000 Royal Guard ponies and 1,000 adventurers from your neighboring allied nations have volunteered to aid the UFF now." Zeck said, as he held the army roster with his right hand, which was already imprinted by Admiral Wellington himself.
"Also, I'll still send somepony else to aid you in my place as soon as the time is right." Twilight added in, making Zeck relieved for a bit.
"Who might that be, Twilight?" Zeck asked in a curious tone.
"You'll see, Zeck. You will all see." Twilight said as she made a smile.
"Anyway, I'll still do my best to stay in touch with you and I promise to keep both of your former mentors alive." Zeck said as he smiled back at Twilight while petting her head with his right hand. "Farewell, your majesty! It's been an honor fighting alongside you."
After Zeck disappeared onto his ship along Celestia and Luna, Chmone and Sonja smiled at Twilight too before following the UFF captain from behind, having the UFF marines take all of their luggage onboard as well.
As for Xuliana and Pamela, they both went up to Twilight.
"I do want to thank you for everything that has happened so far, Twilight." Xul said as she kneel down to Twilight's height. "A lot has changed ever since we met at Terram. If I hadn't met you, I would never be able to free Pamela from that dreadful prison since she is the only loyal friend I have left. I can't really thank you enough over how kind, generous, and honorable you are when helping me out, despite having a bad start."
At the same time Xul was speaking to Twilight, Pam nodded in agreement.
"You don't need to remind me any of that, Xul. I was already aware that you weren't proud of yourself when I saw your face before I escaped with Zeck. The real reason why I spared you and let you on his ship is because I still hoped that we can at least learn from each other when we still have time. And that time became a huge success. After all, you remind me of Thorax when I first met him. He may be a changeling serving under a vile queen, but he still wanted to understand and accept friendship from ponies like any other creature would have in the end. I'm sure one day we can both help Vanista Rantu and the rest of the Sectanium race come to their senses."
"I understand. Even though most of my family wouldn't understand any of this, I'll still remember you of your selfless bravery and valor, to think that I'd bear witness to meeting a savior unlike anything I have ever seen from the UFF. I'm pretty sure that if I ever bear any children in the future, I'll let them know the story of how a Prisoner became a Savior." Xul continued, with a smile on her face. "They may not understand at first, but I will. In fact, I'll never forget your kindness nor will I forget how you gave me a chance to start over again in accepting friendship."
"Thank you, Xul." Twilight smiled as she and Xul both hugged each other. "I'll never forget you either."
Upon seeing this, Fluttershy and Rarity were both having tears come down their face while they both smiled together. Rarity used her magic to carry her handkerchief to wipe her tears away. For Fluttershy, she couldn't stop sniffing out of relief upon seeing that Twilight was able to understand other creatures as much as she would regardless of where they came from.
For Applejack, Pinkie, and Rainbow, they all smiled in a calm manner, realizing that not every Sectanium is evil. It's only a matter of who would do the right thing to avoid conflict and bloodshed.
When Pam see this, she felt speechless. Not that it matters, she also has Twilight to thank for after helping her escape from Terram, along with Zeck and the other prisoners. After all, Pam will always be forever in her debt. If she were to be reborn as a Royal Guard serving under Princess Twilight, her life would've been a lot better in Equestria than that of in Sacreus. Aside from that, Pam will do her part as another soldier of the UFF for she will help Xul do whatever it takes to bring down the corrupted Sectanium Empire for good.
Now that all of Equestria is officially allies with the UFF, it may be the time for Xul and Pam to help Zeck turn back the tide with the aid of Twilight's best troops out on the battlefield.
As soon as Xul and Twilight released each other from their embrace, Xul stood up again before she and Pam faced Twilight Sparkle, Spike, and her friends one more time.
"Farewell, every pony. I'll never forget any of you!!" Xul said as she and Pam turned to see Zeck's battlecruiser in their sights.
"Goodbye, Twilight. I'll never forget you either." Pamela added in as she smiled at the purple alicorn. "You will always be our friend, regardless of class."
Just like that, Xuliana and Pamela disappeared into the ship as it lifted up its lander before the battlecruiser prepares to take off.
All around her, Twilight sees that all of the other ponies that went with the UFF have also disappeared onto their battlecruisers as well. While the rest of the other ponies and Spike watched the UFF ships depart, Princess Twilight flew up all the way to the top of the tallest tower of the palace as she takes one last look at the very same ship that she was on before returning to Equestria.
The moment she lands on top of the tower, Twilight then sees the Battlecruisers fly up into the sky above her towards the horizon.
"So long, every creature." Twilight said as she smiled and waved at the UFF ships before they all disappeared in an instant. "Have a safe journey!!"
