Scarlet Night’s defeat is a momentous occasion for Equestria. The day in which no one has to live in fear anymore has finally arrived. 
 
Right after receiving the news that the war is over, everycreature celebrated like there’s no tomorrow. At Canterlot, the Council of Friendship and Fairy Tail received a hero’s welcome. As they walked through the streets of this city, the citizens constantly showered them with admiration and praises. At the royal castle, Pinkie immediately got to work on setting up the celebration party, in which everycreature is invited. Twilight’s family also participated. As the party went underway, the Mane 7 and the wizards had the biggest feast they ever had. After eating and drinking as much as they could, they all partied to all their heart’s content. 
 
However, Twilight slipped away from the party and sat alone at a balcony. She leaned over the railing, looking out at Canterlot with a sad look. Applejack noticed this and approached her. 
 
“What’s wrong, Sugarcube? Why the long face?” Applejack asked with concern. “We finally won the war. You should be celebrating with us.” 
 
“It’s just...” Twilight then sighed. “I’m glad that the war has finally ended. But... Celestia... Luna... Star Swirl... and many others. They’re not here to celebrate with us. How can I be cheerful knowing that?” 
 
“Twi, I’m... also sad that this war didn’t have a happy ending for everycreature.” Applejack showed her sympathy. “But we can’t change what happened. We need to carry on... for their sakes. We can rest assured that after all of our struggles, no more lives will be lost. I’m not saying we should forget the past, but what we do moving forward is entirely up to us. The future is in our hooves now, so let’s make it a great one. We owe it to all those who are no longer with us.” 
 
“It’s reassuring to know I have friends I can confide in.” Twilight smiled while wiping away a tear. 
 
At the party, there were three other ponies still feeling a little down in the dumps, Flurry Heart and her parents in particular. Apparently, Flurry Heart’s magic did not return to her even after Scarlet Night’s destruction. She has been trying to cast a spell and fly, but her horn doesn’t glow and she couldn’t stay in the air for more than a second. 
 
“Don’t worry, Flurry Heart. I know everything will be alright.” Cadance tried to sound optimistic. 
 
“Yeah, you’ll be able to fly and use magic again. I’m sure of it.” Shining Armor also tried to sound hopeful. 
 
While most guests at the party were cheerful, Cadance and Shining Armor were deeply upset by their daughter’s plight. In fact, Flurry Heart hardly ate anything throughout the party. Her parents were at their wits’ end at this point and being unable to help their daughter made the royal couple feel miserable. This caught Pinkie’s attention and she quickly went over to them. 
 
“Come on, this is not the time to be sad. Have a cupcake.” Pinkie made an effort to cheer up Flurry Heart, which could also lift Cadance and Shining Armor’s spirits. 
 
“I’m sorry, Pinkie. But I’m not hungry.” Flurry Heart said sadly. 
 
Pinkie’s ears drooped with her face showing a downhearted expression, depressed that Flurry Heart still doesn’t smile. The Crystal Empire royal family left the party early, despite Pinkie’s pleading to get them to stay. Twilight held Pinkie back, telling her that it was best to give them some space. After leaving Canterlot, Flurry Heart felt guilty for making her parents and Pinkie very sad. When she returned to the Crystal Empire, the little alicorn knew what she must do. 
 
Throughout Equestria and the other kingdoms, everycreature continued celebrating for hours on end, wanting to enjoy the peace they have waited for so long to the fullest. But for one young filly, she still had one ordeal to overcome. 
 



Crystal Empire, later that night... 
 
Back in Flurry Heart’s dream, the nightmare entity returned to terrorize her. 
 
This time, the alicorn filly did not cower nor run away in fear. Instead, she did something unexpected. She went up to the nightmare and embraced it. Even the entity was taken aback by this. 
 
“I’m sorry for what happened to you. Nopony deserved to suffer a cruel injustice like you did. I know why you hate me, but I’m not like the princess who took your family, and I never will be. I swear I’ll be better. I will rule with love and compassion, just like my parents. That’s my promise.” Flurry Heart declared with strong resolution. 
 
In response to Flurry Heart’s declaration, the nightmare entity faded away. Twilight was also present in the dream world and she had just witnessed her niece facing her fear. 
 
“Flurry Heart, did you...?” Twilight was at a loss for words. 
 
“I will not live my whole life being afraid.” Flurry Heart replied. “And I won’t make Mommy and Daddy worry anymore. I’m going to prove my worth as an alicorn and make everypony proud.” 
 
Hearing this made Twilight felt like the proudest aunt ever. 
 
“Auntie Twily, can you please train me? I don’t want to be helpless ever again. I want to be strong, to protect all those I love. Will you guide me? Like how Great Auntie Celestia guided you?” 
 
“Of course.” Twilight answered with a happy smile. 
 
After breaking the curse, Flurry Heart slowly regained her ability to fly and use magic, much to her parents’ immense joy. Though still haunted by memories of Shadow Mayhem, she resolved to not let the trauma hold her down. Naturally, Pinkie threw a congratulation party for Flurry Heart, and the young princess finally smiled again, much to everyone’s delight. 
 



With the threat of Scarlet Night finally gone, the citizens can now focus on rebuilding all the damaged homes in the towns and villages that were evacuated prior to the emergence of the Night Terrors. Having been unable to assist his friends in the war, Discord decided to help in his own way. With a snap of a finger, all the repairs that would normally take days or weeks were completed in an instant. Thus, everypony that had to relocate are able to return to their original homes. The Pie Family returned to their rock farm and Zecora returned to living in the Everfree Forest. Droy and some wizards with plant-based magic helped out with restoring and rejuvenating all plant life in Equestria. They even helped the Apple Family grow new apple trees. 
 
As a reward for completing their quest, Aura Light provided Fairy Tail with the location of a hidden vault containing treasures belonging to her kingdom. The guild decided to keep twenty percent of the treasure and give the rest to Equestria and the other kingdoms. 
 
Three days after the end of the war, Twilight held an award ceremony for the Fairy Tail guild. At Canterlot Palace, the ruler of Equestria presented all the wizards with medals of honor. Every pony and other creature alike went wild with cheers. Every wizard stood proudly, waving at everyone. 
 
After the ceremony, the Council of Friendship later organized a nighttime event in Ponyville to honor and give prayer to all those who lost their lives during the war. Ponies and creatures from far and wide (including the surviving Pillars, Thorax, Gilda, Gallus, Ember, Smolder, Silverstream, and Terramar) gathered and made lanterns for departed loved ones. Once everycreature finished with making their lanterns, they lit them up and sent them floating into the sky. In the moment of silence and mourning, they all watched, most with tears in their eyes, as the night sky was filled with the light from these lanterns. 
 
On the next day, Equestria held a festival to celebrate the hard-earned peace. At the end of the festival, Fairy Tail performed their Fantasia Parade in Canterlot. Like the parade they performed in Magnolia during the Harvest Festival, the wizards rode on different floats and use their magic to entertain and dazzle the watching crowds. Only Makarov and Gildarts did not participate in the parade. 
 
Following the festival, everycreature have more or less returned to living their normal, everyday lives, and the Fairy Tail wizards went on to enjoy some much-needed vacation. While there are many places to go to, Las Pegasus was commonly visited by the wizards. Bright Flower returned to her village and moved on with her life. Snap Shutter and Mane Allgood took Scootaloo with them on a small family adventure. Alzack and Bisca also took their daughter out on a vacation around Equestria. Natsu and Happy went to places where dangerous wild beasts live. Fluttershy and Discord have tea together regularly. Erza, Lucy, Wendy, and Carla took part in a stage play in Manehattan. The audience enjoyed the show despite Erza’s bizarre acting. Pound and Pumpkin Cake plotted to make Natsu and Lucy fall in love with each other like they once tried with Gray and Juvia, but Starlight banned them from potion making once she caught wind of their plan. Twilight offered her parents a free vacation, but due to PTSD after their experience with Sapphire Butterfly, they quickly declined. Magic items from Earth Land, such as wind-reader glasses and light pens, were also introduced to Equestria. The wind-reader glasses is a most-wanted item for those who love to read, like Twilight and Moon Dancer, and the light pens quickly became popular with foals and other young creatures. 
 



Three months after the final battle, it was time for Fairy Tail to return to their world. Every wizard gathered at the guild hall to be sent back home. Thousands of ponies and creatures were also at Ponyville to bid farewell to Fairy Tail. Even the Crystal Empire royal family, Ember, Novo, Skystar, Thorax, and Rutherford were there as well. 
 
Asuka and the CMCs took their time to say their farewells. 
 
“Please don’t leave! Can’t you stay longer?” Sweetie Belle cried while talking to Asuka. 
 
“I’m sorry. I have to go back home. I belong there.” Asuka sadly replied. “But thanks to you, I have so many wonderful memories. I’m glad you’re my friends.” 
 
“We’re glad you’re our friend too!” Scootaloo sniffled. 
 
“We’re going to miss you!” Apple Bloom wailed as the CMCs and Asuka tearfully hugged. 
 
“I’m going to miss you too!” Asuka said. 
 
Romeo and the Young Six were also having one last conversation. 
 
“Do you really have to go?” Silverstream tearfully asked Romeo. 
 
“I’m afraid so. It has been fun, but I’ve been away from home for a long time.” Romeo answered. 
 
“It’s a shame you have to leave. We really did enjoy your company.” Smolder said. 
 
“Yona will miss human friend.” Yona spoke. 
 
“We wish you the best of luck.” Sandbar added. 
 
As Asuka joined her parents and Romeo joined his father, Flurry Heart said her farewell to the Strauss siblings, especially Lisanna, whom she frequently played with while the siblings stayed at the Crystal Empire. 
 
“Goodbye... Elfman, Mirajane, and Lisanna. Lisanna, I’m going to miss playing with you.” Flurry Heart said. 
 
“We’ll miss you too, Flurry Heart. Become a great princess.” Lisanna patted Flurry Heart’s head. 
 
Once every wizard is finished with saying their goodbyes, they all went inside the guild hall. 
 
“Is everyone ready?” Twilight asked with a sad expression. Pinkie was bawling her eyes out. 
 
“Yes, we are.” Makarov answered. 
 
“We will never forget you, Fairy Tail.” Tears were flowing down Twilight’s face. 
 
“Do not be sad, Twilight. There’s still a chance to meet them again. You’ll see. Someday.” Aura told her. 
 
The farewell was the hardest part for everyone, but there is a saying that all good things must come to an end. Twilight utilized Aura’s power to send Fairy Tail back to their home world. 
 
Just like when they were brought to Equestria, the entire guild hall shook as it glowed in a bright light, causing all the wizards to close their eyes. A few minutes later, the shaking stopped and the wizards could open their eyes again after the light faded. 
 
“A-are we back home?” Happy asked. 
 
“My Aura Bracelet. It’s gone.” Lucy said as she looked at her wrist. The other members of the guild also noticed that they don’t possess their Aura Bracelets anymore. 
 
“Hey, you guys!” A voice called out to them. 
 
Standing at the entrance of the guild hall is the guild master of Sabertooth, Sting Eucliffe. Beside him is his Exceed friend, Lector. 
 
“We’re back home.” Gajeel uttered. 
 
“What happened?! Where have you all been?!” Sting exclaimed. 
 
“Sting and Lector, what are you two doing here?” Natsu inquired. 
 
“We were just passing by. But never mind us! What about all of you?!” Sting replied. “Four days ago, the Sabertooth guild and I came here to Magnolia thinking we could join you in your victory celebration after the war with the Alvarez Empire and then we saw your guild hall engulfed in a giant pillar of light and vanished into thin air!” 
 
“Wait a minute. What day is today?” Erza interrupted. 
 
The Fairy Tail guild then discovered that only four days passed on Earth Land. 
 
“Woah. We’ve been in Equestria for months, but only four days passed in this world. When Aura said that only a short time would pass here, I didn’t think it would be this short.” Lucy spoke her thoughts out loud. 
 
“Can someone please explain what in the world happened here?!” Sting was still waiting for answers. 
 
“Yeah, where did you guys go?” Lector chimed in. 
 
“It’s... a long story.” Happy responded. 
 
Fairy Tail then explained about Equestria and the war with the Order of Scarlet Night. Sting tried his best to process everything he had just heard. 
 
“So let me get this straight. An ancient alicorn summoned you all to another world, with talking magical creatures. And the mission was to defeat her evil sister and evil unicorns.” 
 
“Yep, pretty much.” Gajeel said. 
 
Even though Sting and Lector found Fairy Tail’s story hard to believe, they decided not to question it. 
 
“Okay then, I’m going back home to inform my guild of your return. Just don’t go disappearing off the face of the world again. You really had us worried.” Sting then took his leave along with Lector. 
 
Soon after their return, the Fairy Tail wizards took some time to readjust back to their lives on Earth Land before taking job requests again, and Gildarts eventually regained his full power. 
 
One week after their return, Natsu, Happy, Lucy, Gray, Erza, Wendy, and Carla went out on a job together and were on their way to meet their client. During a train ride, Natsu and Wendy looked incredibly sick and they groaned as if they were in pain. 
 
“Looks like you both have motion sickness again.” Gray said. 
 
“This means that Aura’s spell that prevents motion sickness is no longer in effect.” Happy added. 
 
“It would be nice if that spell was permanent. That way, your weakness towards vehicles would have been a thing of the past.” Carla chimed in, and Erza nodded in agreement. 
 
“This... really... sucks!” Natsu uttered while trying hard not to vomit. 
 
As Natsu and Wendy continued groaning, Lucy looked out of the window at the clear blue sky. 
 
“I wonder how our friends in Equestria are doing.” The Celestial wizard thought. 
 



Equestria, in the distant future... 
 
Many years have passed since Scarlet Night’s downfall. Twilight and Spike have grown taller; Pinkie married and became a mother; Rainbow Dash is captain of a new generation of Wonderbolts; Yona and Sandbar are a couple; Gallus is a royal guard at Canterlot; Silverstream, Smolder, Ocellus, and the CMCs are teachers at the School of Friendship; Flurry Heart grew up to become a great princess; and the pony population is now living harmoniously with the other races. Also, Aura’s spirit completely merged with Twilight. She no longer sees Aura nor hears her voice, but she possesses all of her knowledge and memories. With Aura’s memories, Twilight wrote books about Starquestria and the tragedies that befell this ancient land, hoping that future generations won’t repeat the same mistakes. 
 
In present day, Equestria is celebrating the anniversary of Scarlet Night’s defeat. In every village, town, and city, everycreature enjoy great feasts and partake in various activities such as games, dancing, singing, and playing music. The foals and other young creatures would spend their time roleplaying or going around with their Fairy Tail dolls, plushies, or action figures. They would also listen to tales about Fairy Tail from the adults. The dragons’ favorite tale is Natsu destroying the gigantic kaiju while the hippogriffs’ favorite is Erza slaying the kraken. The yaks love the story of how Gray and Juvia once saved Yakyakistan. 
 
At Ponyville, Twilight’s student, Luster Dawn, was visiting the Fairy Tail monument. It is a replica of the Fairy Tail guild hall and this building was constructed three months after the wizards’ return to Earth Land. The interior has numerous magical crystals embedded on the walls and they displayed visual footages depicting major events during the war, such as the day the Council of Friendship first encountered the Order of Scarlet Night and Fairy Tail, the Doom Cruiser incident, Fairy Tail’s many exploits, the battle in Scarlet Night’s fortress, and the final battle. The crystals also showed Fairy Tail’s Fantasia Parade and the day the guild returned home. At the center inside the monument, there is a stone slab with all the wizards’ names carved on it. 
 
While gazing at the stone slab, Luster was soon joined by Twilight and Spike. 
 
“Back here again, I see.” Twilight greeted her student. 
 
“I can’t get enough of this place. I am fascinated with this guild of magic-wielding humans.” Luster responded with a happy smile. “I read the books about Starquestria and the origin of the Order of Scarlet Night. I watched all these crystals more times than I can count. I also read and listened to tales about the Scarlet Night War. You, Spike, and the Council of Friendship experienced the war first-hoof.” 
 
“We sure did. The Scarlet Night War was the greatest conflict we ever faced.” Spike said. “But lucky for us, we had allies.” 
 
“My parents were once saved by these wizards, so I’m very thankful towards them.” Luster said. 
 
“They were strong, brave, and full of compassion.” Twilight added. “They fought selflessly for the peace we have today, so they are deserving of our eternal gratitude. And we should also thank Aura Light for bringing them here and her part in Scarlet Night’s downfall.” 
 
“Speaking of Aura Light, is it true that you can no longer communicate with her?” Luster asked. 
 
“It is.” Twilight answered. “Now, her memories are all that remains of Starquestria’s dark history.” 
 
Luster then gazed at the crystals on the walls. “I wish I could meet Fairy Tail. They seem amazing.” 
 
“Actually, you’re going to get your chance.” The princess informed. 
 
Luster perked up after hearing this. 
 
“I’ve talked this over with my friends and we decided the time has come to establish contact with Fairy Tail’s home world. I will be making the grand announcement this evening. And tomorrow, my friends and I will connect our world with Earth Land.” 
 
“I am looking forward to see the look on the Fairy Tail wizards’ faces when we meet them again.” Spike mused. 
 
“Oooooh, I can’t wait! Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes, yeeeeees!” Luster exclaimed as she bounced around Twilight and Spike with excitement. 
 
 
 
The End
