Nothing seemed the same after the Mollusk Industries collapsed; sure the robotic menace was stopped and the world save, but at what cost of seven dear friends. The ponies and resistance had given the Lightning Seven a memorial service for their bravery in battle and their sacrifice towards their friends. "I cant believe their gone." Pinkie said as her mane drooped down from its usual puffy cheerful look.
"It's a thing you get used to." Jumpstart said in a monotone voice as he started to move towards the direction of Whiplash.
"How can you just say that? Some of our best friends just died!" Rainbow yelled furiously appalled as most of the resistance just walked off towards the Lightnings old home town.
"We've all lost something, but we had to let go of our past so we could look at a future of freedom." Charger said clenching his fore hoof in pain.
"They're right." Celestia said joining the conversation. "We have to let go of our past, but we must let the memories of our friends live on in our hearts." She said with from experience as she had to deal with losing her beloved sister for a thousand years.
"All in all I think we should head towards the Lightnings home to pay our final respects." Twilight said as she started to charge up a teleportation spell. Within a blink of an eye the group was teleported into their old friends home. In there the two groups split up to see all of the mementos the L7 had gathered through out their adventures.
Rarity looked at all of the pictures of the team throughout their various wacky adventures. "They did so much and this...." She tried to complete her sentence but inedibility just broke down in tears. Fluttershy comforted her to the best of her abilities, but to no avail.
"They were the best team of mercenaries I have ever known." Sir Slicer said as he bowed his head in anguish knowing he had only known the Lightning seven for only a few days but knew they were a magnificent team.
Pinkies tail began to move sporadically making a kind of twitching noise. "Hhm my tails acting up." Pinkie said finally noticing her tail was twitching.
"Wait, a twitching tail could only mean one thing." Twilight said as she looked up towards the houses ceiling.
"LOOK OUT!" Applejack yelled as a large metallic pod came crashing down into the house. The weird thing about the pod is that it had a broken gear insignia on it.
"Oh no, it's Lord Jaggor!" Pinkie said as she held her head in panic thinking that the Lightning Sevens old enemy was back to settle the score, but instead of him there was something different.
"That's the last time we're flying coach." A cybernetic voice said as a shadowy figure rose out from the pod.
"Yeah, and the inflight movie wasn't making it any better." A snarky voice replied as a small pointy shadow moved its beak.
Suddenly more and more figures came out of the pod mumbling, only to be stopped by a group of ponies tackling them. "Lightnings! We thought we lost you."
"Eh, we've been through worse than that." Outlook said as he Ruffled his wing feathers as he got comfortable being back in his home once again.
"How did you survive though, we couldn't find you in the wreckage!?" Twilight said thinking the teams survival though glorious shouldn't be possible.
"Well the machine I was running during the fight was made by Jaggor; that guy may be stupid, but he makes quality defense mechanisms." Scalor said explaining what happened, "When the place began to fall apart the rest of the team climbed into the robot with me. When the robot was finally down it activated it's ejector seat activated and we were free."
"But you guys been gone for hours?" Jumpstart said jumping into the conversation.
"Yeah, the pods usually stay up in the air for a while." Circuit Breaker explained.
"And it was long enough for a crummy movie." Kooker added in knowing that even he hated the movie.
"Well, we're all still glad you're alright." Celestia said with tears of joy in her eyes.
"Well lets fire up the machine so we can finally get you guys home." Circuit Breaker said readjusting his glasses.
"Wait? What about the gems we needed to fuel that thing?" Thunder Buster asked coming in from the kitchen eating more of the Lightning Sevens food.
"That's the funny thing." Razor said climbing back into the pod, "Jaggor was stupid enough to put 10 stinking gems in here!" Razor said as she pulled out a box full of gems.
"Well it seems it is time to say our goodbyes." Buzzer said in a sorrowful tone. He and the others knew this wouldn't be easy for them but they knew they had to eventually say goodbye to their otherworldly friends.
Later on in the Lightning Sevens garage
Circuit Breaker was inserting the gems into the machine to activated it; while this was going on most of the group was giving their final farewells.
"I wish we had more time to get to know each other more Fluttershy." Tarlok said as he hugged the nature loving pony.
"It's been good being with a pony that I can relate to." Charger said as Glido shook Applejacks hoof rapidly.
"Yeah, you sheilas really know how to get the job done." Snaggletooth said as he jumped into the farewell.
"Well, you guys may be some of the strangest things Ah ever met but you sure do know how to fight." The farm pony said as she tilted her Stetson towards the two.
"Well your majesties it has been an honor fighting along by your side" Sir Slicer said kneeling towards Celestia and Twilight.
"Well we're all glad we could help you in your time of need, even if we were unexpected for your group." Twilight said as she blushed a little.
As the group was finishing up the machine started to whir as if it was beginning to start up. "It's fixed!" Circuit Breaker said triumphantly as the machines portal gave off a pinkish glow.
"I believe it is our time to leave." Celestia said as the other ponies gather towards the portal with her, "Lightning Seven, Mollusk resistance; it has been an honor being with you all."
"You're welcome, may our paths cross again someday." Scalor said as they began to walk into the portal. With them gone they had not only new friends, but they had a tale or two to tell everypony back home. The lightning Seven had dealt with their greatest mission in their lives and now they had a group of friends from both worlds that will always be with them.
