During the midnight, Ponyville was in panicked as everyone muttered in concern and feared. Metal Ponies were there as well since they reached the town last two days ago. They all wondered if Twilight and all of her friends can survive of not. By the end of the day, they may have died sooner or later. And the world may not be saved again...
Royal Sisters, Crystal Princess and Prince and some of family members were gathered at the patient's chamber - watching and looking at Mane Six, their boyfriends and friends struggled and suffered from Dark Plague's dangerous effects especially the nightmares they were having. Zecora, Tao, Mighty Heart, Icy, Laxtinct and Mystic-Equestrian Doctors were trying their best to slow down or remove the diseases as soon as possible. But their effort was in vain as the victims continued screaming in pain from it.
As Tao, Zecora and Mighty Heart placed some sleeping powder on Twilight and her friends, the latter fell asleep soundly. The former sighed in concern and upset upon looking at their faces. They exited the room and met up with victims' relatives and friends.
"How are they?" Princess Celestia asked in concern.
"Were you able to tame the sickness, Zecora?" Princess Luna asked in concern,
Zecora sighed in defeat, "I'm truly sorry. Without the ingredients, none can be saved. And none can live for Dark Plague's Last Day."
Tao sighed, "Zecora's right. By morning, their lives will be suspended. We cannot save them now. I'm sorry."
"No... No! No! This can't be!" Shining Armor exclaimed in denial.
"There-there has to be a way to save them! There has to be! Please!" Princess Cadance agreed in concern.
"Please save my daughter! She's my daughter! I beg of you! Please! I don't want her to die now! Why?! WHY?! PLEASE! Great Equestria, do something! She's my life!" Mane Six's Family exclaimed in anger, feared, upset, concern and sadness.
Zecora, Tao, doctors and nurses were all shamed and upset to see them like that. They really wished they could save Twilight and her friends. But there was nothing they can do...
"I'm truly sorry..." Tao admitted in shame, "There was nothing can be done."
Zecora bowed her head down, "We are in deep apologize. We do not deserve the forgiveness... We understand..."
Hearing what Tao and Zecora had said, Mane Six's family cried and sobbed in despair and upset as they cried out loud and wild. Some hugged each other for comfort. Others punched on the walls for not forgiving themselves of not saving their lives. There was nothing can be done...
"LOOK! Something's happening!" One of Ponyville's Resident exclaimed in shock and surprise.
Heard the noise, the group headed to the window to see what was going on. They saw the bluish light emerged from the ground. Something had happen. They quickly came down and exited the castle to find out of what was going on. They met up with other residents of Ponyville as they all watched the glowing and enlarging bluish light.
BOOM! Everyone covered their eyes from the exploding light. From the moment had stopped, they moved their hooves aside while opened their eyes. They saw what they did not expect - Lance and his team, along with Dragon Kick's team had return home safely...
"Hey everypony..." All six Cutie Mark Crusaders greeted happily.
Heard of the familiar voices, Mane Six's family cried tearfully of not sadness but joy as they galloped and charged towards Lance's team.
Mane Six's family hugged their respective ones. Granny Smith and Big Macintosh cried while hugged Apple Bloom. Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumbles hugged Sweetie Belle while crying in joy and relief. Rainbow Blaze and Firefly hugged Scootaloo tightly and passionately, despite she was not their daughter yet considered one. Tao whacked Jade Adventure's head before cried happily as he hugged her, followed by Mighty Heart hugged them both while Dragon Kick joined them. Night Light and Twilight Velvet hugged Nyx, Lance and Spike tightly and passionately, along with Shining Armor and Princess Cadance as they all cried tearfully in joy. Shiroi got hugged from both of her parents who was like the rest. They were glad and relief to see them alive.
"You're back, all of you..." Tao said calmly before scowled angrily, "But all of you are in big troubles! Did you not heed a word from me?! I'm truly disappointed yet fury of it! What do you have to say?!"
Lance, Spike, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Nyx, Jade and Shiroi bowed down in apologetic form, "We're very sorry."
Lance spoke, "We did what we have to. We've got no other choice. The Mystic Council would have refuse the request. I'm sorry for doing that."
"But then again," Spike smirked as he held the bag of eight ingredients up, "We did it. We got them all."
Everyone gasped in surprise and shock as they all muttered and chatted about the children's accomplishment of mission. They really did it?
Nyx nodded her head, "We did it. But... we also couldn't have done it without some friends and helps to get them."
"We also beat and banished the Demon Lords! We banished the Demon Lords!" Four Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaimed and cheered wildly and happily.
Shiroi nodded her head, "It's true... We did do it before meeting Dragon Kick and his Rescue Team at Dark Moon's Palace."
"Hello?! We also help!" Boomer reminded in annoyance.
Lance's team chuckled and laughed in amusement from Boomer's complain. But he was right as they all nodded their heads in confirmation.
Everyone was still in shock and surprise by children's tale of adventure. Was it true? They turned looked at the children's remaining friends - Red Arsenal, Boomer, Rob, Grunt, Metalgear, Steel Blaze and Alyson Joy - nodded their heads in confirm the truth. And even Dragon Kick and his team nodded their heads as well.
"That... That's truly amazing. I'm glad that all of you have return home safely." Tao said in relief.
Mane Six's Family and Tao's Family agreed with him. The children reach home safe was important.
"Good," Zecora smiled as she looked at the bag, "With rare ingredients reach home safely, a powerful cure we can create to save our friends. There is still hope to save them..."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreeing with Zecora. They quickly left and return to the Friendship Rainbow Castle. They had to create the cure at once before it's too late.
Within the laboratory chamber, two wizards and shaman worked together in making the cure. Tao, Zecora and Mighty Heart did their best to make it before it's too late. Icy and Laxtinct helped them as well.
As Mighty Heart set the cauldron up and above the firewoods, he then poured the cleared water into it. Zecora cracked and crunched Venus Seed hard while pouring them into cauldron. Tao poured the Poisonous Frog's Slime into it. Laxtinct stewed the pole on water gently and slowly in making sure the cure was in good shape. Icy took and plucked the petals out from Night Flowers before pouring into it. Tao poured the Demon Wings into it. Mighty Heart crushed and crunched Thunder Serpent's Scale into pieces before pouring into it. Icy dropped the Purest Seashell into it. Zecora cracked the Courageous Flame Orb as she poured its fiery into it. Lastly, Tao poured Dark Aura's Soul into it.
With all ingredients thrown into cauldron, two wizards and shaman chanted calmly and harmonically in making the cauldron's cure work. Laxtinct continue stewing the ingredients. Icy put more woods in making the fire strong. As for the moment had passed, the light glowed from cauldron. It became dim. They then looked at it. They saw the colorful rainbow soup-like with some glowing and sparkling stars-like on them.
Tao and his friends smiled at the soup. They were ready now...
At the patient room, Lance, Nyx, Spike and three Cutie Mark Crusaders were closed and neared to their family members. They watched and seen how sickly and painful Twilight and her friends. They hoped and prayed that they would be alright and safe.
Tao and his assistants came as they gave the soup of cure to Twilight and her friends' mouths. The latter drank them all in finishing the soup off. Twilight and her friends remained sleeping and quiet for the moment. Everyone sighed in concern as all they can do was wait for Twilight and her friends to wake up, and hopefully they don't died...
Tao motioned everyone to leave Lance and his friends alone for have sometimes with their family members. Mane Six's Family Members agreed and nodded their heads. They all left while leaving Lance and his friends stayed close to Mane Six, their boyfriends and other friends. They had been away for far too long...
As the sun rose from outside, everyone gathered at the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom as they wondered if Twilight and her friends were alive. Mane Six's family members and friends had arrived and checked on if Twilight and her friends had survived or not. They also found Lance and his friends were still staying and sleeping closed to their family members. They had not left since they returned home safely.
For the moment had passed, the moaning sounded caused Mane Six's Family and Friends surprise. They watched and found Mane Six, their boyfriends and friends slowly gotten up from their sleeps. They all yawned as if they just woke up from their dreams and sleeps. Mane Six's Family and Friends looked surprised yet happy and relief that they were alive.
Twilight looked down as she found Nyx and Spike sleeping on her bed. She was in shock as her eyes poured the tears out in joy. She cried, "Nyx! Spike! You're alright!"
Nyx and Spike got up and saw what surprise and relieved them so much. They exclaimed, "MOMMY!"
Nyx and Spike jumped and hugged Twilight passionately and happily while the trio cried happily. But they weren't the only ones. Lance found his father alive and awaken. As Shadow Dragon was about to do something, Lance jumped and hugged him tightly and passionately causing the former hugged back. Apple Bloom cheered happily while crying as she hugged Applejack happily. Sweetie Belle nuzzled Rarity's chest gently while the latter patted the former's head and nuzzled as well. Rainbow grabbed Scootaloo's head as she rubbed the latter's head hard and passionately.
Lance's friends were happy and relieved in seeing him and other children having a great time with their family members so much.
Apple Bloom sniffed while hugging Applejack, "Oh, Applejack! You're okay! You're okay! You're alive! I'm so happy! I'm so happy! I'm so happy!"
Applejack smiled and patted Apple Bloom, "Me too! And I'm so happy to see you alive. Can you promise me something?" Apple Bloom looked at her sister. She continued, "Stop scaring me again. I had enough of it and especially losing another of my family."
Apple Bloom nodded her head as she and her sister hugged together passionately and happily. Granny Smith and Big Macintosh came and joined the party as well.
"Sweetie Belle, I'm not very happy of what you had done from past five days. You had me a heart attack!" Rarity scolded the upset and disappointed Sweetie Belle. She sighed as she patted Sweetie Belle, "But I'm just happy to see you alive. That's the important thing to think about."
Sweetie Belle sniffed as she nuzzled, "Rarity, I promised you that I won't cause any problems again."
"Silly girl," Rarity giggled, "If you hadn't, I wouldn't have realize of how great sister you truly are."
Sweetie Belle cried tearfully and joyfully as she jumped and hugged Rarity, followed by Hondo Flanks and Cookie Crumble.
"Squirt... You really had me worry this time, missy," Rainbow said sternly. Scootaloo looked down. She sighed as she had her left wing moved the latter towards her. Rainbow hugged Scootaloo while giggled playfully, "Scoots, you may not be my sister. But I'm glad to have one to save my flanks. You're awesome, kid."
Fluttershy nodded her head, "Rainbow's right. Thank you for saving us, Scootaloo. You really are a great friend and sister to have..."
"Really?" Scootaloo asked happily. Rainbow nodded her head. Scootaloo screamed and squealed happily as she jumped and hugged Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershu! Thank you!"
Rainbow Dash giggled in amusement as she hugged Scootaloo back. Rainbow Blaze and Firefly joined in the hugging as well.
As Pinkie's family were about to hug her, she screamed happily, "Now this is what I called 'A HAPPY ENDING! YEAH! Happy 'Happy Ending' to all of us!"
Her family chuckled and laughed happily as they hugged her happily and passionately. Pinkie Pie hugged them back.
Twilight and her family had some times to talk about. Their family came and joined in the group.
"Lance... I'm not happy of what you did, five days ago. I told you to stay with Tao while look after Nyx and Spike," Shadow Dragon said sternly. Lance, Nyx and Spike looked down in shame. He sighed in defeat as he gave Lance a pat, "But... You did what you have to. And I'm proud of you."
Lance, Nyx and Spike were in shock and surprised by Shadow Dragon's answer.
Twilight nodded her head, "He's right. All of you did well. And we were so proud and happy for you. It's because of you, we're alive. And I'm pretty sure that Iris would be proud of you, Lance."
Lance smiled happily while nodded his head. He was glad to have a family like them again.
Lance smiled, "Thanks, mom and dad. And we're sorry for scaring you off so much."
Nyx smiled, "Yeah... Me too. But we're just glad that you're both alright. We're family together again. Nothing can separate us again."
"You said it. Nothing can." Spike agreed.
Lance smiled, "Mom... Dad... There's someone and some group I want you and the rest to meet..."
Lance waved to some group from the door, followed by Cutie Mark Crusaders and Spike. Shiroi and her friends were scared and worried as they feared that they would embarrassed their own friends. Shiroi took a deep breath as she entered the room. She bowed down before Twilight Sparkle and all of her friends.
Shiroi spoked, "My name is Shiroi. General Dragon and Princess Sparkle, I am so happy to see you both well and healthy again. And it is an honored to meet you too."
Twilight smiled, "We're honored. Rise, Shiroi." As Shiroi stood up and looked at Twilight Sparkle, the princess smiled, "So, are you and Lance friends?"
Shiroi blushed, "More than friends, your highness. I'm his girlfriend now."
Shadow Dragon and Twilight Sparkle looked at Lance who got blushed and nodded his head, "That happens a day ago. I kinda like her. She's a very special one when I looked at her eyes. They're great and beautiful."
Shadow Dragon smiled, "I understand. I used to think that for both Iris Crystal and Twilight Sparkle when I looked at their eyes. They're great too."
Lance smiled as he then move to other friends of his, "And these are my friends - Red Arsenal, Boomer, Rob, Grunt, Metalgear, Steel Blaze and Alyson Joy."
Red Arsenal smirked, "I was the best archer and musketeer. You can count on me to take a shot on our enemies."
Boomer scoffed, "I'm one dragon you don't wanna mess with!"
"I'm most honored to meet you all, your highness," Rob said happily.
Grunt smiled, "I am Grunt..."
Metalgear bowed, "Truly magnificent and fascinating. I finally meet both Alicorn Royalty and Mystic Ponies. This is truly amazing..."
"I'm here because of your kid. I owe him a lot. Got it Memorized?" Steel Blaze joked happily.
Alyson smiled and bowed down, "It's a great pleasure to meet you all here."
"It is an honor to meet you, your highness," Lance's friends bowed down and greeted happily.
Twilight and her friends bowed back as they commented and remarked happily that they were honored as well of meeting them here. As they chatted and laughed together with each other, Twilight then noticed Nyx's tears coming out.
"Nyx, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Twilight asked in concern before looked at Nyx's worrying and upset friends and siblings. She continued, "What happen? Did something happen?"
Spike sighed, "Yeah... Something did happen... There was a friend but we've... We've..."
Lance sighed, "I'll explain..."
Lance explained everything to Twilight, her friends and her family about the battle with Demon Lord of Fire. They were in shock yet despair and upset to hear what Lance and his friends had gone through. They all feel sorry and sad for the children for losing a friend. Because of Zelda, they had made it very far.
Twilight hugged Nyx gently, "Nyx... I'm so sorry for everything. I truly am."
Shadow Dragon sighed, "If we were not have contacted with Dark Plague, then none of you have suffered this so badly. I'm sorry."
"We're sorry too," Twilight's friends apologized.
Lance shook his head, "If you hadn't, I would never have found, met and save these guys from Demon Lord. Then, everything would have been worse for them..."
Nyx sniffed before cried a bit, "I wish Zelda was here to see our accomplishment. She would have been proud and happy of it."
"Yeah... She's our best friend and guide till the end," Spike commented in sadness, "I sure wish I could see her again."
"You already did, partner..." The Texan Voice spoke happily. Everyone yelped and gasped in surprise as they turned to the door. They found a familiar character they thought she was killed. She smiled, "Howdy..."
"ZELDA?!" Lance's team exclaimed in surprise and shock as they charged and jumped on her. They all hugged her tightly and passionately, "You're okay! You're alive!"
Zelda smiled, "Eeyup. But do ya mind? Can you get off of me? I'm not that strong as Great Auntie Applejack or Rainbow Dash! I don't want to have a broken bones to meet them again!"
As Lance and his friends got off Zelda, Twilight and her friends approached and asked of who she was. Lance and his friends introduced Zelda to them. Before they could explain further, they realized something strange about Zelda. How does she knew about Applejack and Rainbow Dash?! And above all, why her tone was different?!
Lance's team turned and looked at her closely, with both odd and surprise looks. Twilight and her friends looked concern and worry about it like something was not right for them.
"Didn't you tell us that your tone would be Southern when you get mad?" Shiroi asked in concern.
"Yeah... Why are you sounded like more of Southern Ponies?" Spike asked curiously.
Drake Trio and Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded their heads, "Yeah... Why?!"
Steel Blaze nodded his head, "Something is definitely not right with her."
"Affirmative... There is more to her than we thought. She is hiding something from us. And I think we're about to find out," Metalgear agreed.
"And above all," Lance said in concern, "How did you know Applejack and Rainbow Dash? And what do you mean you want to meet again?"
Nyx nodded her head, "Who... Who are you, Zelda?"
Zelda smiled as she removed her cowl and all of her clothes. Everyone gasped in shock and surprise as they saw a familiar orange Alicorn-Lion Hybrid. She smiled while waved to them.
"Howdy, everyone," Flare Tiger smiled.
"FLARE TIGER?! YOU'RE ZELDA?!" Everyone asked in shock and surprise.
Flare Tiger smirked and nodded her head, "Eeyup. That'd be me. Surprise ya all, didn't I?"
Everyone was in shock yet stunned and surprised by Flare Tiger's disguise. They thought her mission was to reunite Lance with Shadow Dragon while building their life as a new family. They never thought that she would return to their present and help again.
"Why? Why didn't you tell us?!" Lance asked in shock and surprise.
Flare Tiger smiled, "To help you become strong as your family did. And most important of all, I have to make sure that Nyx stay true to herself till the end. I replaced Grandpa Tao as your guidance since ya'll met him. After all, this is based on JusSonic's Road to the End. It's quite good and interesting one too."
Everyone chuckled in amusement, despite not knowing what Flare Tiger had said
"And it did... You set everything for us to be prepare to fight with Demon Lords, didn't you?" Nyx asked in surprise. Flare Tiger smiled and nodded her head. She asked, "Why? Why did you do it?"
Flare Tiger smiled, "Because you need to prove yourself that you are more pony than the demon. And that very day, you did it. You are you, not Yue. That's important."
"And others? They actually help you?" Spike asked in concern.
"Don't look at me! I have no idea that she's your friend! I didn't know it too! This is my first time to meet her too, got it Memorized?! I am Grunt! I wasn't aware of it as well!" Drake Trio, Metalgear, Steel Blaze and Alyson exclaimed frantically.
Red Arsenal smirked, "I knew it from the start." Everyone looked at him. He continued, "Flare Tiger is the one who rescued me from Demon Lords. She told me of what I'm supposed to do when you guys came here. And she's the one who gave me the Cybernetic Hoof. She said it's a seed to our world's new technology. I had no idea of what she meant."
Everyone turned and looked at her as they bowed and thanked her happily for helping and keeping an eye on Lance and his friends during their Demon Land journey. She smiled and giggled in amusement.
"It's not a problem, ya'all. You've got nothing to worry about," Flare Tiger said happily, "I did what I had to for my family."
"There's one thing I'm so curious about..." Spike said curiously as they all turned to him, "What about those ponies we've met - Blaze Leo, Aurora Borealis, Ace Swift, Comet Star, Midnight Moonlight, Shadow Cat, Flower Dog and Iris Heart Shield? Were they illusions?"
"Yeah... Seriously, I hope it's not one of your disappearing jokes again. I'm so sick of it," Boomer scoffed in annoyance.
"Tell me about it," Cutie Mark Crusaders and Rob said in agreement.
Metalgear nodded, "Indeed. Ever since you make 'disappearing act', we can easily think that the ponies we had help are nothing but illusions. Has my statement prove correct?"
"Nope. My family are very real," Flare Tiger answered happily.
"Family? The ponies we've met are your family?" Steel Blaze asked in shock.
"No way..." Alyson said in surprise.
Flare Tiger smirked, "Way, partner. Say hello and meet my family again! Come on in, everypony! It's family reunion again!"
As Flare Tiger opened the door, it revealed the familiar faces from their journey. Blaze Leo, Aurora Borealis, Ace Swift, Comet Star, Midnight Moonlight, Shadow Cat, Flower Dog and Iris Heart Shield were here as they waved to Twilight and all of her company. Lance and his friends were in shock and surprise of it.
Flare Tiger continued, "Let me introduce to my family. This is Blaze Leo - first son of quadruplets. He's quite rough one and hardcore like his gramps but he's one sensitive and protective gentlepony."
Blaze Leo groaned, "Mom! Please, not in front of my grandpa Shadow Dragon and grandpa Lance! I don't wanna be embarrassed in front of them!" He cleared his throat as he turned to the front, "It's an honor to meet you all and especially to you, grandpas and grandmas!"
"This is my second quadruplet Midnight Moonlight the rebellious and stubborn tomboy girl like her mommy and some of my sides as well." Flare Tiger giggled in amusement,"I can tell you one thing. She's like Rarity - easily fall for one wrong pony and ignore anyone else. She's selfish and greedy I'd tell ya."
"No, I didn't! Just because I like some jerks once doesn't mean I don't care of the rest! Don't even try to think that mom!" Midnight exclaimed in annoyance. She sighed as she turned and bowed down, "And thank you so much too. If you hadn't made me realize of the boy I almost fell in love, I would have been nothing but bad girl. I didn't want to ruin my family's name for no reason."
"It's okay! It's understandable. Everything's fine. We're glad to help." Lance's team answered calmly and happily to them.
"I'm sure you've met the third chicken son Ace Swift," Flare Tiger joked happily before Ace Swift groaned in upset. She cleared her throat and continued, "But thanks to ya'll, ya helped and make my boy a brave and confident cub like his mom and dad."
Ace Swift scoffed, "Please! I can handle than just being confident! And trust me, I would never be scared again. And nice to meet you all."
Flare Tiger sighed in annoyance, "I'm pretty sure that you met timid, shy and reluctant Aurora? But she's special than just her appearance."
"Hi..." Aurora greeted timidly and softly.
"This is my youngest but adopted one - Iris Heart Shield," Flare Tiger introduced the youngest one, "She was named after my ancestors because they were inspiration. And above all, she's a smart and clever girl about morality and lives. And trust me, she learned it well from all of us."
Iris smiled and bowed, "I am honored to meet you all. It's a miracle. I've heard stories about you and your adventures. And I want to meet you so badly."
"I believe you all met descendant of Paul Williams," Flare Tiger turned to Comet Star, "My husband Comet Star. He's not just a best blacksmith of everything he can make but the best husband I could count on. I'm glad to have kids like now. But he can be goofy and comic-relief when it comes of cheering some kids up, he's still a good husband."
Comet Star yelped in concern before chuckled a bit. He turned and looked at Flare Tiger's ancestors as she bowed down, "It is an honor to meet you all. I'm mostly honored and thankful."
"These are my sworn sisters Shadow Cat and Flower Dog. And yeah, they're very different too," Flare Tiger admitted the differences between Shadow Cat and Flower Dog. She continued, "Shadow Cat can sometimes be... violent and sinister, but trust me - she ain't evil, she just like to tease her preys and kids so much. Just don't ask her about scary stuffs. Flower Dog is mostly like Fluttershy for both nature and animals but don't make her very angry. She's extremely protective, caring and sensitive dog."
Shadow Cat giggled in amusement, "I am honored to meet you."
"Yes... It is an honor to meet you all." Flower Dog bowed and hummed, "Harmony brings good luck upon you all. It represent that you will bring harmony across the world."
"Oh yeah... How did you survive the attack from Crisis?" Spike asked in concern.
"Yeah! How?!" Lance's Team asked curiously.
Flare Tiger smiled, "Just as every one of you left, I immediately revealed my true form. And I fought and battle him to the pool of water. Flower Dog summoned the trees in trapping and locking that bull-headed monster tight for good. Shadow Cat summoned the water in evaporating him off. So, three of us charged in and beaten him out for good. I can tell you one thing - he's not an easy opponent to deal with."
Everyone was in amazement by Flare Tiger's story. Twilight and her friends bowed down before the future Flare Tiger and her family. They looked and smiled.
"Flare Tiger, thank you again. If you hadn't come, I don't know if I should blame myself for putting someone I cared in danger for me and my friends. You and your family are great help. Thank you so much." Twilight commented calmly.
Shadow Dragon nodded, "Yes. And above all, I'm glad that you have been there for us."
"Yeah! Thank you so much! Owe you so much! Thanks, partner. Yeepee! Thanks! You're a great help!" Twilight's friends and family thanked happily to Flare Tiger and her family.
Flare Tiger nodded her head as she turned and found Nyx looked down. She knew what the little filly had in mind because she was from the future. She approached to Tao.
"Great Grandpa Tao," Flare Tiger spoke up. Tao turned to her. She continued, "I need you do me a favor. And it's very important gift."
"Sure. You saved my son's and the rest of his family and friends' lives. I'm in your debt. How can I be an assistant?" Tao asked curiously.
Flare Tiger smiled as she whispered Tao. He looked shock and surprise as he nodded his head in understanding. He cleared his throat as he wanted to gain the attention from everyone. They all looked at him as they wondered of what he was ding.
His eyes were closed down for the moment. As five cards risen and spun around him slowly, his body glowed in white yet brightly. Everyone wondered of what was going on. Blackish Light came from Shadow Dragon and Purplish Light emerged from Twilight Sparkle. They headed straight to Nyx. They both spun around three times while lifting her up for the moment. Before she could do anything, she yelped in pain as she poured and spilled the dark yet deadly blackish light-like out before both black and purple lights entered her.
Everyone got blinded by the lights. As the light died down, they looked at Nyx who remained still and down. As she got up, she opened her eyes as they revealed a normal eyes like everypony else. They gasped in shock and surprise.
"No way... Your eyes..." Apple Bloom said in surprise, "They look perfect!"
"Yeah! You're one of us! And I mean your eyes!" Scootaloo exclaimed in agreement.
"Yes! They're right! Your dragon iris are not there!" Sweetie Belle agreed.
Shiroi giggled happily, "And these looked great and beautiful."
Shiroi held the mirror in front of Nyx. She saw her eyes were perfectly rounded like the rest of ponies.
Nyx was in surprise and shock as she turned and looked at Tao and Flare Tiger, "What was that for? Why did you give me these eyes?"
Tao smiled, "Flare Tiger told me what happens. And so you deserve something better - a part of your true family."
"That means-!" Nyx gasped happily as she charged and hugged Twilight Sparkle and Shadow Dragon, "I'm part of both families! I'm part of them! I'm not demon! Yeah!"
"Really?! It's great and miracle!" Twilight exclaimed happily.
Shadow Dragon nodded, "Yeah... Congratulation, Nyx. You're one of us now. And we'll always love you."
"Yeah! Welcome to our family, little sis," Lance congratulated happily.
"Yeah! Best day ever!" Spike exclaimed happily.
"Thanks..." Nyx smiled as she turned and looked at Tao, "Grandpa... Can you change my eyes back to ones I'm used to?"
Everyone looked confuse and worry of what Nyx had said.
"Why? Why do you want them?" Spike asked curiously and concern.
"Yeah," Boomer agreed, "You're not a dragon. You're a pony. You should have the same eyes like everyone else."
"It was so illogical and strange of your decision." Metalgear said in concern.
Steel Blaze smirked as if he knew what Nyx wanted, "You still don't get it. The eyes are what and who she is. Without them, she's just ordinary pony. I know that because me and my sister were one of them."
Nyx smiled and nodded her head, "Yes. That is true. Can you please return them to me? It's who I really am. Those eyes maybe monsters to others, but to me - they're my gifts."
Tao smiled, "As Flare Tiger had predicted, I shall granted it for you."
Tao chanted calmly as Nyx's eyes slowly changed and transformed into dragon's irises-like. Nyx looked at the mirror. She smiled happily as she came and hugged her parents, followed by all of her friends and family.
Nyx smiled, "This is what I really want. This is who I am. And thank you for caring of me. I won't let you down again."
Flare Tiger giggled happily, "Now that settles. It's time for celebration! Come on, everypony! Let's party!"
"YEAH!" Everyone cheered and agreed.
As Twilight and her friends exited the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom, they all met the cheering and crying crowd of Ponyville as they all celebrated for Twilight and her friends' return from the death, along with the return of Lance and his friends. Everything was fine at the end...
At the Netherworld, the defeated Demon Lords were upset, angered and furious that they had lost the fight to mere children. And above all, they've lost everything - their trusted lieutenants, their pets and now both Spike and Nyx. Everything was ruined...
"This is most unfortunate..." Xiao Fung said dryly, "We were so close in getting them to our sides."
Hsi Wu hissed before screeched in fury, "And not to mention, we're trapped in this dimension forever! I hate these ponies!"
Po Kong moaned in upset, "No more meats... We're stuck here forever..."
"Tell me something I don't even want to know!" Tchang Zu roared in anger.
Dai Gui growled loudly and wildly, "Agreed... This is most unacceptable.. How can we achieve our victories now. This is unacceptable!"
Demon Lords went in silent at once as they all took their breathe for the moment. They wondered of what they can do next. They did not want to stop and give up their mission to take control of Equestria. They were so close to reach it...
"It's not over yet..." Tso Lan said darkly yet firmly. His siblings turned and looked at him. He continued, "It is time for our final plan to move. It's time for them to succeed us. It's time for them to take our place."
Seven Demon Lords gasped in shock and surprise as they knew what he meant.
"Brother, you were not suggesting 'them' to fulfill our mission and revenge?" Shendu asked in concern, "Are you certain that they can do it?"
Bai Tza hissed in upset, "You would risk their identities to the world? If these mortals knew it, our heirs would be in grave danger!"
Tso Lan turned and glared at Bai Tza, "I supposed that we do nothing then?" He turned and looked at his siblings, "I'd rather do something at once than meeting our fates here forever. I want revenge on those ponies for poisoning Yue so much with 'harmony' and 'hope'. Starting with Twilight Sparkle. I want them paid."
Demon Lords thought for the moment of what Tso Lan had said.
Po Kong hummed, "He's right. We've been banished and trapped in our own domain for far too long. This is getting desperate."
"I agree! I want them dead! I want my enemies feel my hatred and anger for not only defeating me but my best lieutenant and pet!" Hsi Wu screeched in anger.
"Dai Gui agrees to it! Ponies shall feel our wrath! Our heirs must send the message to the world!" Dai Gui roared in anger.
Tchang Zu scoffed, "They shall pay for their treacherous action on us. I want that Destroyer X's head."
"Indeed... As soon as our heirs find the way to free us, Equestria and Mystic Realms can finally be ours," Xiao Fung agreed.
Shendu smirked, "It appears they're right, my dearest beautiful sister. They may think we were defeated. But this is merely the beginning of their doom..."
Bai Tza hissed in surprise, "You were right, Shendu and Tso Lan. It is getting desperate. Our heir must go forth now. They must defeat our enemies and retrieved our traitors to here. And they must free us..."
"Yes... You're seeing things clearly," Tso Lan smiled darkly, "Now that we agreed to our terms, it is time for our heir to move out now. "
Demon Lords nodded their heads in agreement with him.
At the dark cavern with some stormy and dark night, seven shadowy figures were looking at the firewoods as they were waiting for someone. They heard the floating noise. They turned and found Tso Lan's elder daughter with purple long mane in princess's style and a crown dressed in her dark purple Chinese Princess's robe appeared before the seven.
Seven of them got up and bowed respectfully, "Hail to Princess Dark Xing, daughter of Tso Lan! Hail!"
"At ease, my cousins. Sit down... We must discuss about our latest mission," Dark Xing said calmly yet darkly. As the seven sat down, she sat down and continued, "Our family have been banished to the Netherworld... by my own flesh and blood sister - Black Yue!"
Seven gasped in shock and surprise. Four of them muttered in anger and upset. Others remains quiet and calm down. They were upset by Nyx's betrayal against her family.
Dark Xing continued, "But it doesn't mean we're finished. Father has ordered us to make a move. And this means one thing - we will find and hunt my little sister and that traitor down. But we will also capture and torture every last of ponies. And after that, we shall free our family from their imprisonment. And soon, both world will be ours to control. They all shall know that we Demons are the most ferocious and powerful species at these both realms."
"In other words, they're gonna regret it. Am I right, Xing?" The cocky yet serious first shadowy figure asked in amusement, "Coz I can't wait to start heating up to burn those mortals!"
Dark Xing smirked, "Indeed... Are you with me, my brothers and sisters? For our family! Yue must be captured and punished for betraying us!"
The big shadow stood up and revealed a 10ft yet fat greenish demon with purple goatee and two sided horns as he worn a dark purple pants-like, "Avalanche agreed! Mommy must be avenged! Avalanche must make her proud!"
The shadowy humanoid bat-like screeched wildly as it flew up and revealed itself to be a dark black female Gargoyle-like with short yet sharped crimson chair dressed in loincloth bra and pantie, "Yes, Avalanche - Avenge your mommy. I shall avenged mine. I, Song Wing shall be Hsi Wu's Successor."
The third one hit his fist hard as he got up and revealed himself to be a scarred purple scaled yet muscular warrior dressed in navy samurai's armor, "I, Voltscar shall take the head of that traitorous dragon! He shall feel my anger and thunder!"
Another shadow stood up as revealed to be muscular but dark brown minotaur dressed in his yellowish loincloth and wielded demonic yet metallic gauntlets, "Quake shall smash them all! Quake must make them pay! Father will rise! He shall not be in shame!"
"Don't forget about me," The purple skinned frog with green spiky scaled dressed in his black suit-like hopped, "Gusty has something in store for them too. I shall destroy them all for killing my pets and bugs!"
"I too shall join the battlefield," The voice spoke calmly yet femininely as the shadow revealed the beautiful greenish skinned feminine human-mermaid with dark navy long hair, "As daughter of Bai Tza; I, Mei Kai must fulfill her honor. Yue will pay for betrayal."
"Can't let you all go for fun," The cocky shadowy figure jumped and revealed himself to be a greenish scaled humanoid teenage dragon dressed in his grayish shirt, black pants with red scarf and torn long black jacket, "The son of Shendu shall too join in. I, Drago will make anyone pay for betraying the family! No one does!"
"Yes... The time is now. Dark Xing too shall avenge my father! Yue will pay for her treachery against the family! They all shall pay!" Dark Xing exclaimed proudly, "Come, my brothers! To Equestria! Let us find them now!"
"YEAH!" Seven Demon Princes and Princesses cheered and cried wildly and proudly.
Dark Xing then led Drago, Mei Kai, Gusty, Quake, Voltscar, Song Wing and Avalanche out as they all headed straight to Equestria...
A day later after the party...
Lance and his friends were gathered near to the lake. They were all eating the Sea Salt Ice-Cream together while chatted happily with each other. They were all happy and pleased about Ponyville. It was very quiet and peaceful home to stay. And they really appreciate it.
Lance chuckled a bit, "Thanks guys... I really appreciate it so much. In fact, Ponyville also appreciate it so much that we saved our family's lives in time."
"Yeah... That was some adventure alright," Nyx agreed as well.
Spike sighed, "Let's just hope that we don't do this again. The last thing I can't stand the most is fighting the Demons."
"Yeah... I know what you mean. That was scary than our meeting with Cockatrice." Scootaloo agreed.
Apple Bloom nodded, "And it's even scarier than Chimera. I almost lose my life."
"tell me about it. I just don't want to face the nightmares again," Sweetie Belle sighed in upset.
Jade nodded, "Yeah... But we do have each other. And best of all, we've made some good friends from our journey."
Lance smiled as he turned and looked at his friends, "So, what are you going to do next? You're all going to stay here, right?"
Steel Blaze smirked, "Yup. That's the plan. I'd probably do some work like Harburger Restaurant. I heard those guys need some chef to help out the cooks. I'm on that job. Got it Memorized?"
Alyson giggled happily, "I'm planning to go with Cutie Mark Crusaders for some adventures. I want to make some friends."
"I also plan to stay here. I want to learn more about modern days. Metal Ponies to agree as well. But we'll be few miles away from here. But it's close enough. But I'm sure you duded can find me and my kinds at Metal Village. It would be the best jam!" Metalgear exclaimed happily. Everyone looked odd and surprise by Metalgear's tone. He smiled, "Modern days inspired me. They're very good too."
Boomer sighed, "I don't know what to do... I probably may help Fluttershy. I just hope she respects my nature. I can't live without eating some bugs."
Rob sighed, "And you'd better be respectful to hers. She can't handle some animals to be hurt too. I'm just glad that I work for Dr. Hooves for his science. These ponies... They are good. I want to learn more about it."
"I am Grunt..." Grunt smiled, "I am Grunt."
"Labor work? Hope they treat you well, buddy." Boomer said in concern.
"Yeah... I hope you can take care of Crusaders too," Rob agreed.
Grunt smiled happily. Cutie Mark Crusaders jumped and hugged him passionately and tightly. Ironically, it was him to hug them not the other way around.
"What about you, Red?" Lance asked.
Red sighed as he took the mask off, "First off... My name - My real name is Roy Hawkeye." Everyone looked confuse yet surprise and shock by him. He had green eyes to look at them, "Second, I won't be staying here anymore because... I finally got into the Royal Guard as Commander of the Archery." Everyone looked down as they knew he would be busy with his work and never had time with them, "And third, I still visit and check on you because Justicestrike is my protégé in training."
"Really?"
"Yes, Justicestrike. Princess Celestia and Luna allow me to visit you and hopefully that your training progress well. Don't try to disappoint me."
"As if! I don't lose so easily. After all; Steel Blaze, Metalgear and Boomer also train me too. Gpt it Memorized?"
Steel Blaze, Metalgear and Boomer laughed happily, "That's true... That's true..."
"What about you?" Nyx asked Shiroi hopefully.
Shiroi smiled, "I already have a home. This is my home where I can spent my time with my friends and family. And above all, I can spend some honeymoon with my boyfriend. And of course, I've got art lessons too. Being artist is my dream."
Lance smiled as he brought Shiroi closed to him, "And I wish you luck, princess."
Lance and Shiroi kissed each other's lips passionately, gently yet happily while others awed happily of looking at the sights. As the couple departed, Lance turned to his friends.
"No matter what happens, we'll always be friends and family together. We'll solve and face the problem together..."
His friends smiled as they agreed with him. They continued eating ice-creams together. Everyone was going to have a good future.
At the Friendship Rainbow Kingdom, Twilight Sparkle was looking at the clear sky and beautiful morning as she had some thoughts. Shadow Dragon came in and checked on her. He can feel her concerns from his sense since he and her are connected as one.
"Hey... Are you okay?" Shadow Dragon asked in concern.
"I'm fine." Twilight asked calmly before looking at his serious yet concern looks. She sighed, "I had nightmares. It's about those monsters. I don't know them. But I know one thing - they're gonna kill you. And our home... They'll be destroyed. Our harmony will be destroyed. I don't want that to happen. I just can't."
Shadow Dragon hugged her gently and passionately, "No, you won't. I promised you. I won't let that happen. We've come too far to lose again. Never. I promised you."
Twilight nodded, "I promise that I'll keep you alive and safe. That's my promise to not only you, but also to Iris Crystal."
"I know... And thank you so much, Twilight..."
Shadow Dragon and Twilight looked at each other as they had a kiss passionately, gently and happily. All they can hope is their future get better. They prayed for it...
In the dark room, the hooded pony was staring at the map of Equestria and Mystic Real like he was trying to make plans on them. And a familiar crimson skulled pony was there as well. They both were discussing and chatting about it.
A black masked and armored pony came into the dark room as he bowed down and reported, "Sir! I've bring news - The Heroines of Equestria has survived the virus, as well as Wielder of Darkness and his comrades! And above all, Demon Lords were defeated."
"Leave us..." The hooded pony said sternly. The soldier left at once. He turned and looked at the skulled pony, "It looks like we have to accelerate the plans for our master, General Crimson Skull."
Crimson Skull was alive?! But his reddish skull revealed to have more scars but with burnt marks on his left and his right eye had a cybernetic monocle dressed in blackish German's General's Suit-like.
He nodded his head, "Yes, Amon Blood Statham... We'll have to accelerate the plans. We must rebuild the army. We must resurrect the Demon Generals. And finally, our master can be reborn again. They will know that we're still rising from defeat and death."
Amon nodded his head, "Yes... I shall inform our ally to begin her mission. If they fell for her tricks and influence, then taking both Equestria and Mystic Realm will be easy. With two Demon Generals on our side, we shall be ready to take what is rightfully ours. You and him..."
Crimson Skull smirked as he turned to his right, "Yes... He shall be reawakened. He shall bring destruction to our enemies... and the traitor..."
Both Amon Blood Statham and Crimson Skull turned and looked at the giant glassed tube-like. They saw a shadowy humanoid metallic dragon-like in it. What future lies ahead? What will happen next?
The End...
