With the changelings witnessing the awe-inspiring power of love, they had no choice but to surrender. Soon technology to store love in bombs would come around The love bomb would soon be mass-produced. The Gryphon Empires, not wanting to be defeated by Equestrians, sent spies to steal their love secrets. These spies could be anywhere. They were said to even spy on people in their homes, watching them late at night. The Gryphons managed to steal these love secrets, and weaponize it themselves. Many more love bombs would be produced, the two countries just waiting to love and tolerate each other off the face of the Earth. But not a single bomb would ever be fired. Both countries were much too worried about what the other would do. How they would react. The countries were both too shy to ever show their love, in the form of death raining from the skies.
The two recruits who won the battle of the changeling hive were both given high honors, and even had a statue of the fateful kiss erected in the Canterlot gardens. For some reason, neither of them seemed to enjoy these honors. Truly, they are the humblest of heroes.
The weapons scientist went on to develop many more of these love weapons. He always carried a sketchbook with him, where he drew many weapon designs inside. However, these weapons never saw the battlefield. Some quotes from people who he had shown the fighting techniques to include, “Gross.” and “Far too dangerous.” along with “Get away from me, you sick little man.” and “Cover your eyes, kids!” He went on being misunderstood for quite some time, until one day, he was asked to present his fighting techniques to Princess Celestia herself. He had no idea why she asked, after the way the rest had treated him, but he gladly obliged. Celestia seemed to take quite an interest. Later, she would have him demonstrate said techniques, and, as it turned out, she had some of her own!
Luna and Celestia would have many debates over the heated subject of love control. Luna believed that love was a dangerous weapon, and needed more regulation and background pony checks, whereas Celestia argued that every citizen of Equestria had the right to defend themselves, and that it “Doesn't matter, made love.”
