//------------------------------// // Season 1, Chapter 13: This time we get our cutie marks Epilogue // Story: Armor Fillies // by MarkTheWolfpony //------------------------------// Imp slowly opened his eyes as he got himself up. “Ugh what happen?” He rubbed his head. “IMP!” The Three jumped on him and gave him a group hug, cheering on the victory they had. He couldn't help but feel a little happy inside. The three were overly excited over the first encounter of danger. They jumped for joy and begin to praise each other as well as themselves. “Alright girls you can stop because you’re making me sick a little with all this jumping for joy,” The three did what he said. Applebloom quickly checked to see if he had any wounds. “hmmmm nothing to major other than bruises.” He couldn't help but blush. But then he remembered what Warp said. “Once your friends ditch you, you will see the pain of being lonely” One could say he was just saying nonsense but he couldn’t help but feel that it might be true. He just shook it off and thought it was nothing. But suddenly a blinding light came down in front of them. Once it dimmed down, they saw a pony who was taller than them with large wings, a long horn and a beautiful red mane and tail with blue eyes. “Wow!” All the three CMC said at the same time. Imp wasn’t as much surprised as they were. “Ummmm Mom?” The three quickly looked at Imp when he said those words. “WAIT WHAT!” They all shouted. She giggled a bit. “Well I could say that it is partially true but I’m very proud of you Imp.” “Why is that?” He raised one eye in confusion. “I see that you were able to make some friends and they happened to be new recruits.” She smiled. “Wait new recruits? As in there is more of us!?” Scootaloo shouted in excitement. “Well why don’t I show you.” A light started to spark on her horn and with a quick flash, it blinded their eyes. It soon started to clear up and once they are able to see, they were very shocked on what they saw. A huge temple placed within the middle of nowhere. It had poles with huge lights of fire like you see in the equestrian games. There were layers and layers of structure around like a square shape structure. It also happened to be as tall as any building compared to the buildings that ponies said about manehatten. Scootaloo ran up the stairs, only to be met up with stallions with knight armor. “HALT! Who goes there!?” The two said at the same time. “Relax,” Faust intervened. “They are new recruits,” They both stood back. “Forgive us Faust. We didn’t know,” “That is all right,” She said in a soft tone. The four followed her until they all stopped at the entrance. The walls began to rise up and once inside, they saw a whole new world they have never seen before. Fillies everywhere spending time playing, hanging out, and perfecting their skills. It was like a huge playground made just for them. The three couldn’t help but drop their jaws in shock. “Well you’ll get used to it when you visit here a lot,” She faced in front of the group. “As the leader and founder of the Armor Fillies, it is my honor to have you on my side. Together we will defend Equestria from the many threats that endangers the land,” The three nodded their heads in agreement. But Sweetie Belle started to realize something which she gave her a pale look. “Guys…” She caught the four’s attention. “We forgot Twilight.” The three dropped their mouths as their faces became paler. “Oh you don’t need to worry about that,” Faust insisted. “What do you mean?” Scootaloo asked. Twilight started to wake up. As she got up, she noticed that she was in the library. “Ugh what happened?” But she started to remember what happened before. “My friends!” She quickly headed out of the library, noticing that the citizens are back safe and sound. She rubbed her head out of confusion until she heard spike and the others calling her name. She saw them and ran to them, then she gave them a group hug as princess Celestia stood next to them with a smile. “Well I guess I should send you home then. You wouldn’t want your friends and family to worry about you,” “Ya lets. I don’t want Apple jack to ground me,” She shook her head. “Ok then stand still. I will sent you there myself,” As she charged up the magic on her horn, Applebloom noticed Imp had a sad look. “Wait!” She asked her stop. “Can Imp come with us?” When Imp heard that, he was very surprised. “You see I wanted to show him the rest of ponyville so…” Faust couldn’t help but smile when she heard this. “How about this. For now on, I assign Imp to your group. You will all be now a team from now on.” When Imp heard this, he couldn’t believe it. “Are you sure about this?” He ask worriedly. “I’m sure.” She got close to him. “And between you and me, I think you and the filly with the pink bow would make a cute couple.” He blushed. “Mom….” He said softly frustrated. Imp joined in the group and he couldn’t help but be happy for this. Faust’s horn lit up and blinded them all again. Once they were able to see, they saw they were back in ponyville. As the four the walked up the streets, they noticed that everypony was back in one piece. The Main six and Spike quickly headed in their direction. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash were the first to get to them and they gave the CMC hugs with sighs of relief. “I was really worried there Sugarcube!” AppleJack hugged her very tight. “Its OK Applejack and could you please let me go.” Rarity bursted to tears as the tears came out in a waterfall, she hugged Sweetie Belle as tight as ever. “Don’t ever leave me again!” She continued crying. Rainbow Dash picked up Scootaloo as she hugged her. “Don’t scare me like that Scootaloo.” “Oh come Dash. Like I let this get to me,” Dash couldn’t help but smile. “Ummm Applejack…Could we let somepony stay with us?” Applebloom asked very politely hoping she would say yes. “Who would that be?” She asked, raising one eye in concern. She pointed her hoof to Imp, who was looking casual to give a good first impression. “His name is Imp and we met him during the incident. He doesn’t have a home so can we let him stay with us. He can live in our treehouse!” AppleJack took a long look at him. “Hmm…Alright. He can stay with us,” The three jumped for joy. Applejack headed up to him and whispered to his ear saying: “No matter if your my little sis’s friend, you’ll have to go threw me first,” Imp started to sweat for a bit, knowing what she was talking about. With things going back to normal, this will be a new life that Imp will be going through as well as the CMC as they now have a big responsibility. Things might be a lot more excited here for them. The destruction of the robot is now all over the ocean. As it sank into the bottom, Warp jumped out of it with the last of his power of the machine he had on his back. Once they landed, it was on its last ledge before it malfunctioned. “Well that is something I never expected. I’m surprised that I didn't win that battle considering I knew what to expect from fighting those kinds of ponies,” He snickered. “Well its time to meet up with the others then. My plan hasn't been stop just yet. Oh no as this will be the beginning of a whole new era."
