Chapter 12: Heroes
In the present, Scorpan sits on a couch in the castle, where he looks out a window at the lights of Ponyville and thinks about how much his friends mean to him.
“I take that you’re wondering where I am now,” he continues his narration, “Well...my friends and I are now living in the Castle of the Two Sisters. And with a little help from Discord, Celestia, and Luna, the castle was rebuilt to its former glory.”
He by then gets up from his couch, and walks over to a bookshelf to grab a book. But he still continues his narration.
“To others, the Ponies of Equestria are weak like sheep without a shepherd. But to me, they are true heroes. Like the rest of the knights and myself, they look out for each other, and Twilight and her friends are ready to defend those who need their help. Their bond with each other made them strong against every threat, proving that the Magic of Friendship can overcome just about anything. It will be that same magic that will help us defeat Grogar’s forces someday. Right now, I’m gonna enjoy living among the ponies, and especially Twilight.”
Just as he was about to grab a book from the shelf, Pinkie Pie suddenly comes in to let Scorpan know something.
“Scorpan! The party is starting without you,” Pinkie Pie informs him, “You don’t wanna miss it, do you?!”
“Oh! I almost forgot. Be right there, Pinkie Pie,” Scorpan says.
Right away, he quickly flies out of the room and straight off to Ponyville.
Pinkie couldn’t help but feel amazed at how fast he can fly when he would need or want to. But that never stopped her from quickly dashing with him to town.
****
At the Town Square, Ponyville is having a celebration in honor of the Knights of Tambelon for the help they gave in saving the ponies of Ponyville, and for the courage they inspired into everyone. Rarity has given them special clothes worthy of the Knights based on what the Four Codes are.
Twilight and the Four Princesses stand at the center of the Square before the crowd.
“Fillies and Gentlecolts!” Twilight speeches, “We’re gathered here today to welcome four brave heroes who have risked their lives to save others, and show true inspiration to a few of our own. They even saved my life when I was lost in the storm. One of the Knights proved to be the greatest hero in history, and shows true leadership to everyone. Please welcome to Equestria...the Knights of Tambelon!”
The audience cheers for the knights after Twilight finishes her speech.
Twilight:
It’s a parade of heroics!
Of true hearts that care
Of warriors with spirits
And will always be there!
Scorpan is the first to come in. He is wearing silver armor with a cape of gold, showing his pure heart and courage. Spike is seen carrying his cape.
Fluttershy:
Each has a type of heart.
Each with precious love
They came from a faraway land
To rise above
Thorne shows up, revealing his new clothes, made up of a hat with a feather, a blouse, and black pants and cape. He hands Fluttershy a rose and blows a kiss at her.
Knights:
And we come together
There’s no calling we won’t go
No battle we can’t win
When we come together,
There will be light to shine the way
Inside our hearts every day!
Catrina and Rep come in their ensemble. Catrina is wearing a maiden/sorceress gown, and Rep is wearing green armor. They hold hands as they come together to sing with the ponies and the rest of their team.
Chorus:
Let the hero inside you
Remind you to always care
Let the hero inside you
Allow you to always be there.
Scorpan:
Let the hero inside you
To remind you to always care.
The story ends with the Knights getting their picture taken with the Mane 6, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Discord, and Spike.
