Six Manipulations, Six Heroes

by Matthew Stone


Peace for The Future!! The Big Goodbye

Everypony mutters when they see the defeat of the evil queen. They then sigh in relief and cheer fro their safe freedom they finally found. Discord rushes to Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie to hug them tightly.

“My ponies!” Discord squeaks, “I’m glad you’re all safe.”

“It really meant a lot to us that you and the other guys risked your lives to save us…” Fluttershy smiled while crying.

William, Ian, Leo, Spike, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle then join in the victory cuddle, as the fillies reunite and nuzzle with their sisters. William also gives Applejack a smackaroo kiss on the cheek.

Tails and TJ then approach the gang to see how they’re doing. Discord magically pulls his arm to have the foxes be part of the hug.

“Thank you.” Twilight said to Tails when she looks at him happily.

Tails blushes.

“It’s nothing, really…” Tails grins.

Mokuba smiles at the gang that’s cuddling, and then eyes his parents across him. He cries, and runs over to reunite with them. They hug him tightly; happy they’re back together with their son.

“We’re so sorry we forgot about you.” Cadence sniffed.

“Volucris might have…” Shining Armor tried to explain.

“I know.” Mokuba understands, “I’m just I’m back together with you guys.”

Kaiba looks at Mokuba and grins at the distance. Shining Armor then notices and approaches to the nice changeling, extending out his hoof.

“Thank you.” Shining Armor said.

“I’m glad I wasn’t like the others, even though my heart was black.” Kaiba said.

“No, your heart is clear… and beautiful…” Shining Armor assures.

The two beings then shake hooves.

Braeburn then comes over to hug Little Strongheart through the crowd.

Meanwhile, Gilda and Storm tend to the other ponies to heal them from their injuries. Sunset Shimmer and Trixie then catch up with Twilight when they find her, and the three of them make amends.

Fireblaze, Skull, and Blade then meet up with Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Ian, and Leo to shake hooves with them, congratulating each other.

Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon then meet up with Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo to hug them and apologize. Big Mac then comes up behind Apple Bloom to give a happy surprise hug for her, while Snips, Snails, and Pipsqueak reunite with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

The Wonderbolts then rush down to meet Rainbow Dash, telling her that they’re very glad she’s safe. Chrysalis looks at the other ponies, feeling the happiness she now has for being reformed. All thanks with the help of Fluffle Puff, who hugs and cuddles with Chrysalis.

Celestia and Luna then approach the changeling queen and grin.

“I’ll have you know that I’ll be giving up being queen for a while, just to hang out with my dear friend.” Chrysalis announced to them, while hugging the fluffy pony.

“That’s a fine idea.” Celestia understands.

Luna then hugs Chrysalis.

“Thanks again for protecting us.” Luna thanks.

Chrysalis nods.



From the distance on the dragon’s mountain, Garble and his army can see the reuniting with the other ponies. They also look around to see if there’s any sign left of the deadly queen. They then roar out a victory cheer, relieved at the realization that they are now safe.

“We did it.” Garble sighs.

Thanor then magically appears in front of Garble to surprise him. Garble smiles when seeing him too.

“Good teamwork skills.” Thanor complimented, “You did well.”

Garble then notices that Thanor is slowly fading into a translucent essence. Thanor is going back into his ghost self again.

“So soon?” Garble asks him.

“I’m afraid so.” Thanor sighs, “I told them as well that I must move on as soon as the queen was defeated.”

Thanor turns to go back to Vanhover.

“I must say goodbye to Fireblaze as well.” Thanor said, “Farewell Garble.”

The dragon spirit than disappears.

“Later man.” Garble grins.



Back in Vanhover, Doctor Whooves and Derpy hug their friends Twilight and Pinkie Pie.

“We appreciated you fighting alongside our friends.” Twilight giggles.

“It’s no problem for us.” Derpy squees.

“This calls for a BIG celebration!” Pinkie Pie yells, “Who’s up for dancing?”

“First we have to make sure everypony is safe Pinkie.” Twilight reminds her.

From the distance, Celestia and Luna notice Thanor and Starswirl appearing by them. The two princesses smile.

“So… you guided our friends to victory.” Celestia puts together.

“Helped them, to be precise.” Starswirl comments.

“We really appreciate it.” Luna smiles.

“We’re also glad you’re safe.” Thanor admits, patting them on the shoulders.

“Dad?” Fireblaze asks, coming up from behind.

Thanor then turns around to look at his soon. He then hugs him, and Fireblaze lets out tears of joy.

“We won. Can you believe it?” Fireblaze said.

“Yes. I’m… you’re a true fighter today.” Thanor smiles.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie then come by Fireblaze to comfort him. Fireblaze then looks up sadly at his dragon spirit father.

“Must you go?” the red pony asks.

“It’s part of nature’s ways.” Thanor says, “My time is now.”

Discord, Spike, Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack then approach the dragon spirit. The foxes stay by their side as well, as the spirit looks at the rest of the gang. He then looks at all the citizens. The spirit didn’t say anything. He just smiled. Finally, before departing with Starswirl, he looks at Tails.

“Be strong, never be ashamed of it…” Thanor smiled at the fox.

Tails nods in happiness.

The wizard pony and dragon ghosts then rise to the sky. The other ponies look up in amazement as they see the guardians vanish, continuing to now find peace.

The Flim Flam Brothers grin in awe at that sight. They then look at Applejack, and rub their hooves behind their heads.

“Um…” they uttered, trying to say sorry and say ‘no hard feelings.’

Applejack smiles.

“You did great too.” she compliments to them.

She then shakes hooves with them, along with Apple Bloom and Big Mac.

Celestia then walks with Luna to meet up with the main six ponies, Discord, Spike, Ian, Leo, Cutie Mark Crusaders, and the foxes.

“I’ve never been so proud of the friends left over to do anything they can to save everyponies lives. Discord, Spike, Ian, Leo, William, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo…” she said, “Everypony will celebrate your heroism.”

The princess then comes over to hug the eight friends she talks too. She then looks at Mokuba, who stands by his parents.

“You proved that you could stay strong no matter the obstacles too.” Celestia congratulates, “I’m glad that you reunited with your parents, Prince Mokuba.”

Celestia than comes over to Mokuba and hugs him too. Mokuba grins, and hugs back. The young filly even goes to his new friends and nuzzles with them, even Discord and William.

“Heh. Don’t want to make it too sappy!” William chuckles.

Finally, Celestia comes over to Tails and TJ.

“It’s interesting to see you two visit our world.” she states, “But you helped save our lives I’m never been so proud of your efforts to protect us. You really are… true warriors.”

Tails beams in pride when he hears that. Celestia then hugs the foxes, as they hug back.

“Thanks. That really means a lot to us.” TJ said.

Celestia then looks up at all the other pony citizens.

“Let us make this day a monumental dedication we’ll never forget!” she calls to everypony, “This day will be known as the real day… of friendship!”

Everypony cheers, and hugs in joy when the princess says that. They then look at the city of Vanhover, and decide to plan out a celebration after sharing plans with one another about cleaning and preparing their homes and streets. Princess Luna even visits all the citizens to help prepare the construction, and magically makes tools for them to use. Discord even joins in, and uses his magic to update the buildings and turn them back to normal. He even sets up a party tent, along with a medical tent for the ponies. Twilight and Fluttershy come up to Discord, and smile while nodding at the idea. Even Pinkie Pie hops in joy, as she brings together all the ponies she found.

“Nopony else is missing!” the pink party pony reports.

“Then let’s celebrate!” Discord cheers, hugging Twilight, Fluttershy, and Celestia.

“How will we get back to Ponyville?” Rainbow Dash wonders.

“Discord’s magic obviously.” William points out.

Ian and Leo guide more citizens to their homes, and then look at Tails and TJ.

“Say guys…” Ian asks the foxes, “You wanna join the party after fast construction?”

Tails and TJ look at the main six ponies and others. TJ then looks at Tails, and they both grin.

“Why not?” Tails cheers.



Construction went real fast with Twilight’s magic, along with the help of Celestia and Discord. Spike even is mindful when observing his friends, really heart warmed and relieved that they’re back. He’s just happy he isn’t face to face with the evil versions of themselves anymore. The time is now, when all the construction was finished, and Discord helped made the party zany when most of the pony guests in the tent were moving along it’s teleporting moves back into Ponyville.

Twilight and her friends liked that part, especially when it means going home. All the other ponies who live in Ponyville are also joyous to go home themselves. The rest of the ponies in other cities went home with the help of Sunset Shimmer and Trixie. Storm and Gilda went back to their home, as did Kaiba, who aids Chrysalis and Fluffle Puff on an all new adventure through the mountains.

The other characters at the party are as listed. Snips, Snails, Pipsqueak, Doctor Whooves, Derpy, Skull, Blade, Fireblaze, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, William, Ian, Leo, Braeburn, Little Strongheart and the other buffalos, Film, Flam, Big Mac, Shining Armor, Mokuba, Cadence, Tails, and TJ. The main six ponies also hug when dancing, along with Discord and Spike.

Time passed by, and everypony got tired, deciding they need to go home and get settled in after the rough days of battle. Twilight smiled when looking at her friends, just as they walk out the tent to go to Ponyville. They won. And they have each other. That’s the very special thing that everypony will always treasure.

Tails then walks up to Twilight and smiles.

“I… have something to confess.” Tails admits.

He then suddenly leans over and kisses Twilight on the cheek. Twilight blushes.

“Well… “ she grins, “I’m flattered.”

“There’s something else too.” TJ adds, sighing, “Our work here is done.”

Applejack and Pinkie Pie gasp.

“Don’t tell us you have to leave already!” Pinkie shouts in dismay.

“We have to.” Tails sadly insists, “We belong in our world after all. Besides, we have to do our job of exploring other universes and saving more lives.”

The only friends in front of the foxes now is the main six, Discord, Spike, Ian, Leo, William, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They cry as they see TJ prepare the portal for them to exit this universe through.

“Can’t you darlings stay though?” Rarity offers, “There’s always room for one more here in Ponyville.”

“I’m afraid that’s not how that works for them.” Leo said, rubbing Rarity’s shoulder, “It’s their choice.”

“Well, we’re going to miss you.” Spike says to Tails.

He then hugs the foxes with Discord by his side. William then joins in, and Leo and Ian hug the foxes after they’re done. Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo then give the foxes a hoof bump.

“Stay cool.” Scootaloo smiles.

Tails nods.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie then come over to TJ to hug him. Finally, Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity come over to hug Tails.

“Thanks again.” Twilight cries happily.

“No sweat.” Tails chuckles.

The ponies then step back to allow the foxes to go. The two cousins then step through, and go back to their home. The portal then zips up, vanishing.

“I’m going to miss them.” Applejack admits.

“Yep. They really had proven themselves to be quite powerful.” Rainbow Dash adds.

“I hope they come visit us.” Fluttershy wishes.

Twilight then hugs the yellow pegasi.

“I’m sure they will.” Twilight promises her.

“HEY! Who wants to have a sleepover at my place tonight?” Pinkie Pie offers to the gang.

“We’re in!” Discord, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and William all say at once.

“I actually have to get back home.” Leo said, “Heaven knows if my place has been demolished while we were away.”

“Well, see you tomorrow then.” Ian and Spike wave at the gnome as he walks off.

“You all wanna do a group hug once more?” Applejack asks her friends.

“Yes, let’s.” Twilight agrees.

Discord has the main six ponies, fillies, Spike, Ian, and William come together with his hugging arms as they cuddle in joy. After that, all thirteen of them head down to Pinkie’s home to relax and enjoy their friendship. One they truly deserve to have.
