*Clarity's POV*


Sensing trouble, I ran northward with Lucy, Nastu and Gajeel following. Aphmau was on my back, Aaron and Noi were on Natsu's back, Zane and Moeka were on Lucy's back while Kim and Pierce were on Gajeel's back. Mac had stayed behind to look after Nashi, Luke and Layla.

I sang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txb7P3bu8oc as I ran with the ten.

Aphmau, Aaron, Noi, Kim and Pierce all howl loud.

I spoke "We're almost there guys!!"

Aphmau spoke "Good thing we left Ein behind, last thing the Mobian Guard needs is an annoying hyena underfoot..."

Lucy spoke "I agree with Aphmau on that."


*In the Crystal Empire*

*Lillian's POV*


Little did I know, Natsu had gone back to get help.

Twilight was worried about Cadence.

Twilight spoke "I hope Cadence is alright."

Maria spoke "She's trying her best to maintain the barrier but she won't be able to hold it much longer."

A lot of howling and roaring was heard as Natsu and ten others fought Sombra.

I ask "What the floppa was that?"

Danyelle spoke "that sounded like Natsu! He brought help!"

Sonic spoke "Something is missing...."

I ask "What though?"

Danyelle spoke "Twilight, come with me. You too Spike! If I'm right, Cadence won't hold out much longer!"

After passing Akari to Shining Armor, Danyelle heads off with Twilight and Spike.

Twilight spoke "Be sure to take care of her, Shiny!"

Shining spoke "Got it sis!"

Wendy spoke "Be careful Spike."

Spike spoke "Understood!"

Danyelle heads off with the two.

Danyelle spoke "The fate of the empire rests on our shoulders Twi!"

Twilight spoke "I know!"

Danyelle spoke "With Natsu and his group holding Sombra off as long as possible and our friends keeping the Faire going, it's up to us to find that crystal heart! and I have a feeling I might know where it is..."


*Back in the throne room*


Danyelle asks "See anything Twilight?"

Twilight spoke "Nothing! Wait…"

After Twilight overpowered the dark spell with light magic, more stairs were revealed.

Danyelle groans "More stairs...."

Spike asks "How are we gonna get to the top in time?"

Twilight asks "Then how about we go down?"

Twilight then used her magic to make her, Spike and Danyelle float whole everything was flipped upside down.

Danyelle was gliding since her left wing was stiff from the black crystals.

Danyelle spoke "Awesome! We're almost there!"

After arriving at the top, Twilight undoes the gravity spell.

Danyelle spoke "There it is! Gah! Twilight, no! There's a trap there!"

Twilight spoke "Oh no!"

Danyelle launches herself at high speed, knocking the crystal heart out of the trap thus avoiding getting trapped.

After throwing the crystal heart to Spike, Danyelle spoke "You have to take that to Cadence! I'm in no state to fly!"

Spike stammers "W-What about you and Twilight?"

Danyelle spoke "The empire's under attack, Twilight and I won't be able to get the heart to Cadence!"

Twilight spoke "Just go, Spike! You can do it!"

Spike spoke "A-Alright!"

Danyelle struggles to get up despite being hurt before yowling "GO!!!"

Spike spoke "Okay!"


*Meanwhile with Natsu's group*


Aphmau spoke "SHIT! He got past us!"

Moeka spoke "It's all up to Spike now..."


*Back with Twilight and Danyelle*


Danyelle stumbles over to the ledge after Spike jumped off with the heart in tow.

Twilight spoke "It's all on him now..."


*Meanwhile with Cadence and Shining Armor…*


Maria's healing powers suddenly cut out thus causing Cadence to weaken.

Maria spoke "Dang it...."

Maria's ears perk up when she heard Spike's voice.

Maria asks "Was that Spike?"

Spike spoke "Cadence!"

Cadence groans "Spike?"

Spike spoke "I need your help!"

Radiant was airlifted by Wendy before dropped on Sombra to pin him down.

Radiant spoke "Stop it Sombra!"

Sombra spoke "All I see is another crystal pony peasant! Another stain that needs to be washed from the streets!"

Radiant spoke "Snap out of it! It's me, Radiant Hope! Your foalhood friend!"

Sombra’s eyes turned white as his pupils become more round. “R-Radiant? Gah!!! That fool! How is he still able to control himself?!”

A teary eyed Radiant spoke "I was so worried..."

Sombra spoke "I-I can’t… I can’t control myself! That’s right, fools! I’m in charge now!"

Radiant started to sing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHx6vQNeuFE since it was soulsong, she reached out to the good deep inside.

Radiant spoke "Remember, I got my cutie mark because of you!"

Sombra spoke "I-I know! I can feel it! Get out of me you shadow!"

Radiant hugs Sombra while crying as the Crystal Heart had been put into place.

As the Crystal Heart was placed, it sent out a shockwave that destroyed the darkness controlling Sombra.

Radiant's coat shimmered more than it had before.

The dark crystals that were on Radiant's horn, Shining's horn and Danyelle's left wing had instantly vanished.

Danyelle picked Twilight up and flew down to the others as I took pictures of the Mane Six and Mobian Guard in their temporary crystalline forms as a memory.

Radiant asks "You okay Sombra?"

Sombra spoke "I am, now that you’re here."

Radiant hugs Sombra while crying.

Radiant spoke "I thought I lost you forever..."

Sombra spoke "I’m so sorry."

Radiant spoke "You big oaf, don't scare me like that again."

Radiant kisses Sombra on the lips.

Sombra’s eyes shot open at first, but slowly closed them, embracing the moment.

I was giggling at the sight.

I tap Shining on the shoulder before pointing at the recently reformed Sombra.

And Shining Armor was certainly surprised.

Danyelle spoke "Love is a very powerful thing, the love that Radiant had for Sombra was more than enough to free him from the darkness."

Cadence spoke "I couldn’t agree more, Danyelle."

Twilight was holding Akari with a foreleg.

Twilight spoke "Plus Akari's magic seems more stable now. Once she's older, she'll have better control of it."

Cadence spoke "Hello Akari! It’s your Auntie Cadence!"

Akari started giggling.

Danyelle chuckles.

Spike spoke "We did it!"

Twilight spoke "Yeah, we did. Plus Radiant was able to save her friend from the darkness in his heart."

Spike spoke "Awesome!"

Wendy spoke "Spike!"

The feathered dragoness tackle hugged her boyfriend.


*Some time later*


Rarity spoke "It's such a shame it wasn't permanent."

I chuckle "Look on the bright side, I have pictures to remember the occasion."

Akari was asleep in Danyelle's backpack as the winged nekomata walked to the train station with the others.

Radiant had invited Sombra, now called Obsidian Shield, to live with her in Ponyville.

Wendy asks "Hey, Spike?"

Spike asks "Yeah Wendy?"

Wendy spoke "What you did there, I think you’ll be considered a hero."

Spike spoke "It wasn't just me, Danyelle knew ahead of time that Sombra had placed a trap around the Crystal Heart. Even with one wing paralyzed, she was fast enough to grab the heart before the trap activated."

Wendy spoke "Well, if anything, you’re a hero to me Spike."

Spike chuckles "Aw, shucks. It was nothin-Mmph!"

Spike suddenly found his lips locked with Wendy with the young dragoness’ eyes closed. Spike’s eyes were open in shock, before closing them, enjoying the moment.


*In Canterlot*


Celestia spoke "I'm surprised with you Twilight, figuring out that there was a trap around the Crystal Heart."

Twilight spoke "That wasn't me, Danyelle knew before I did so her speed pounce came in handy for me. She got the heart out of the trap moments before the trap went off."

Celestia asks "And what about Sombra?"

Twilight spoke "That was Radiant's doing, she reached out to the good in him."

Celestia asks "Really?"

Twilight spoke "Yes and Danyelle gave him the name Obsidian Shield as a new start on life."

Celestia spoke "That’s wonderful."

Twilight asks "And the test?"

Celestia spoke "You pass with flying colors."

Twilight chuckles "My snout still hurts after that sit command Danyelle gave me... But the best part was, Cadence's an aunt now. She adores my daughter."

That made Celestia giggle. “Cadence always loved cute things and creatures.”


*later*


Spike was pacing about.

Danyelle spoke "Calm down Spike."

Spike stutters "B-B-B-B-B-But that was my first-!"

Twilight spoke "I’m back! Huh? Spike? You look like me when I’m stressed out about something."





Twilight asks "But seriously, Spike, what’s panicking you?"

Danyelle spoke "He's twitterpated... Towards Wendy...."

Twilight asks "Meaning?"

Danyelle whispered to Twilight, “Spike and Wendy, KISSED.”

Twilight was red in the face.

Twilight spoke "So that’s what Cadence was giggling about."

Danyelle spoke "Yeah."

Sunset spoke "Let's go home."
