Chapter 18: The Fight For Equestria

The Order and Equestrians were now on the horses on their way to Canterlot. They were no longer crystal-y after they left the empire. When they went out of the Everfree, they saw Canterlot under siege. The Alliance was there. So was the Supernova.

"No way." Rainbow said. "At least we made it."

"Oh, let's hope Celestia will be okay." Fluttershy said in worry.

"Sunset!" A voice yelled.

Sunset turned and saw Coloratura wearing black and blue armor. "Rara!"

Coloratura ran to Sunset. "Sunset, I like your armor."

"I like yours too." Sunset said. "Where did you get it?"

"Oh, Zecora gave it to me because she didn't want it anymore."

"Rara, where's Ivor?" Jesse asked.

"He went to Canterlot Castle to get Gabriel and Magnus." Coloratura answered. "He said he was going to get them out of there."

Sunburst got off his horse and started walking.

"Where are you going, Sunburst?" Axel asked.

"I have to do something." Sunburst replied. "It's very important."

Discord pulled out a sword. "Well, off to battle." He teleported away.

The others got off the horses.

"So, Sunset. What's the plan?" Applejack asked.

Sunset pulled out her sword. "We take back Equestria."

Rainbow and Lukas pulled out their bows. Petra, Jesse, Twilight and Fluttershy took out their swords. Pinkie turned her bracelets into her gauntlets. Applejack slipped on her silver gauntlets. Rarity took out her ice spear. Axel took out some TNT. Spike growled. And Olivia took out some redstone.

The Order and Equestrians started running to Canterlot.

"I don't think we can take on so much Changelings together!" Lukas added.

"We'll split up in partners." Jesse said. "Olivia, you take Applejack. Fluttershy, Rara, you two go with each other. Axel, you're going with Pinkie. Petra, Rarity goes with you. Lukas, you're taking Rainbow. Twilight, Spike you two are a team. I'll stick with Sunset. Am I clear?"

"Gotcha!" The others replied.

"Alright! Let's go!"

They started splitting up in partners.

Rainbow whistled as a cloud flew down and scooped her and Lukas from the ground.

Jesse turned to Sunset. "So, what now?"

Sunset looked up at the Supernova. "We have to find a way into the Supernova! I sense Luna is somewhere in there! If we find Luna and set her free, the Supernova will be destroyed, causing the Alliance's powers to be lost!"

"Sunset, you are a genius! It's like the time that I was launched into the Wither Storm! But how will we find a way in?"

"I know a way in. Just follow my lead!"

"Got it!"


Ivor was running in the castle looking for Gabriel and Magnus. "Gabriel! Magnus! Where are you?! Clap once if any of you can hear me!"

"Um, Tirek, Mane-iac, I hate to interrupt, but can you two please leave the two humans alone?" A voice from far away asked.

Ivor followed the voice.

"Get me down here! I already have a headache!" Another voice yelled.

Ivor stopped at a room as he walked to the door and pressed his ear against it.

"Discord! He's too strong!" Another voice yelled.

Ivor kicked the door opened revealing Discord fighting Tirek and the Mane-iac, who was now wearing, purple, black and glad armor and a matching helmet, holding Gabriel and Magnus captive with her hair. He pulled out his sword. "Put them down, you mutant!" He ran to the Mane-iac as she slapped him in the face with her hair.

"Ivor! You came to save our souls!" Magnus exclaimed. "It's about time!"

"Where have you been?" Gabriel wanted to know.

"I'll explain later!" Ivor yelled.


Applejack and Olivia were now fighting some Changelings.

Applejack turned to one, who was going to attack Maya, who was bracing herself. "Hey! Changeling!"

The Changeling turned and saw Applejack. Then he flew to fight her.

"Hey, body snatcher! I'm talking to you!" Olivia yelled getting the Changeling's attention. "Catch me if you can!" She started running.

The Changeling flew after Olivia.

Applejack walked up to the trembling Maya, getting her attention. She lent her hand to her. "Need a hand, Sugarcube?"

Maya took Applejack's hand as Applejack helped her up. "So, that's what a Changeling looks like. You people are strange."

Rainbow and Lukas were being chased by Changelings, but Rainbow stuffed her hands into the cloud and shot streaks of lightning at them, knocking them out. The two turned and saw Aria flying up to them.

Rainbow stood up and turned to Lukas. "Lukas. Take the wheel."

Lukas looked at Rainbow. "What?"

Rainbow pulled out her gem and tossed it to Lukas as he caught it. Then she tipped over and fell off the cloud.

Lukas looked down seeing Rainbow fall. "Rainbow, what are you doing?!"

"Don't worry! I'll be fine!" Rainbow yelled.

Lukas looked in front of him and took a deep breath. "Okay, Lukas. You can do this." He pulled out his bow and aimed the arrow at Aria. "How do you like this, scaly?" The arrow glowed red as Lukas lets go of it. It hit Aria and electrocuted her. Lukas smiled. "Yes!"

Rarity tossed her crystal to Petra as she caught it.

The gauntlets appeared on Petra's wrists. "Rarity, launch me!"

Rarity used her ice to launch Petra as an ice cylinder threw Petra up to the air.

Petra landed on Adagio's back and started punching her in the face. (Adagio was in her siren form) "How do you like that, you scaly singing monster?"

"Get off of me, human!" Adagio yelled in anger.

"Make me!" Petra yelled.

Rarity turned and saw three Changelings flying to her, but she used her ice to freeze them as the frozen Changelings plopped into the water. She sighed. "That was easy."

Pinkie was trying to hit Sonata with her cannon gauntlets, but she kept missing. "This isn't working!"

"Pinkie!" Axel called getting Pinkie's attention as he lit up a block of TNT. "This might help you with Sonata!"

Pinkie smiled as she ran to the TNT. The TNT exploded and launched Pinkie up in the air. As Pinkie shot her cannons gauntlets, she finally hit Sonata. She fell into the water and popped her head out from the surface. "Nailed it!"

Twilight was now sword fighting with Trixie. She blocked every attack Trixie gave to her.

"Twilight Sparkle, for two years, you've grown stronger. Faster. And fully aware." Trixie said. "But not strong enough."

"I'll show you who's not strong enough!" Twilight turned to Spike. "Spike! I could use a hand here!"

Spike ran to Twilight, but he suddenly became surrounded by a dozen Changelings. But he wasn't afraid as he jumped and kicked each and every one of them away from him. He kicked them in the face, the stomach and the legs. As every Changeling surrounding him fell, Spike continued running as he turned into a green fireball and hit Trixie in the face, which blew her away.

Twilight picked up Spike and spun with him. "Spike, I knew you could do the fireball technique!"

"Eh. I've been studying." Spike explained.

Fluttershy whistled as all the Endermen from Fluttershy's fortress appeared. "So, how was life without me?"

Some Endermen nodded. Others shrugged.

Fluttershy turned to two Endermen. "You two; help Coloratura." Then the other Endermen. "The rest of you keep the Alliance distracted." She waved at her bracelet as her wings appeared. She flew up and flew to the castle. "Oh, Discord, please be okay."

The two Endermen teleported to Coloratura to help her.

Sunburst looked everywhere and saw Starlight standing in front of him from far away.

The corrupted Starlight walked up to Sunburst.

"We meet again, old friend." Sunburst said. "Listen, Starlight. This isn't the real you. You are more better than that. Sombra is taking over you. You have to fight the corruption you are in right now. Please, Starlight. I don't want to fight you. You're my only friend. And friends look out for each other."

The wisps in Starlight's eyes fade. "Sunburst? I-I-" The wisps in her eyes come back as she pulled out her sword and ran to fight Sunburst.

Sunburst pulled out his two swords and blocked Starlight's attack. "Starlight, you know you don't want to do this!"

The wisps faded again. "That's because I don't! I don't want to-" The wisps came back as Starlight and Sunburst broke away.


Fluttershy broke through the castle window and landed on the ground as her wings faded. She looked up to see the room. She was in her old bedroom. "Um, okay. Wrong room." She got up on her feet and started looking around her room.

As she turned to a table beside her bed, she walked up to the table and picked up a picture in a small frame. Fluttershy look at the picture of her and the other guardians inside the frame.

She smiled as a tear fell from her face to the picture. Then she heard a scream as she placed the picture back on her table and ran out of her room.


In the throne room, Celestia and Chrysalis, who was now wearing black, teal and green armor, were fighting magic with magic. Chrysalis punched the ground as a rock popped out and she kicked it to Celestia, but Celestia managed to break it in one punch.

"I have suffered underground for years and have been waiting for a miracle to happen!" Chrysalis yelled.

"I know your weakness, Chrysalis!" Celestia yelled. "You've beaten me once! I won't let you beat me again!" She shot a ball at magic at Chrysalis as the Changeling Queen dodged the attack.

Chrysalis chuckled. "Celestia, I can sense the fury growing inside of you ever since we took away your precious sister. You know that any of your actions aren't going to help. Mercy. Fighting. Reasoning. It's never going to help. Fighting might help a little, but it won't give you an award. It even won't give your little sister back into your life. Celestia, join us and help us bring victory to the Alliance of Darkness. We'll spare your life, give you everything you wanted. You'll even reunite with your sister. Join us, and we'll take down every single human we'll see, every single Equestrian that tries to fight us, and every single threat that won't bow down to us."

Celestia clenched her fists with anger. "I'd rather die than join you!" She shot another ball of magic at Chrysalis as Chrysalis dodged again.

Chrysalis' eyes started glowing as she lit her hand with magic. "So be it."

The two heard an explosion as they turned seeing the smoke clear up revealing Ivor getting back on his feet.

Chrysalis took out her sword. "Just my lucky day. One weak human." She ran to Ivor to kill him.

"Ivor, behind you!" Celestia yelled.

Ivor turned and saw Chrysalis running up to him with a sword and he pulled out his sword and blocked her attack. "I'm not afraid of one such Changeling like you! My potion might not work on you, but I too know your weakness!"

Chrysalis smirked. "I'll be the judge of that."


Shining Armor and Cadance, who was now wearing pink and gold armor with a blue crystal heart on the chest, were fighting Sombra in the ballroom.

Sombra laughed. "You two don't stand a chance against the Alliance. Not even those pesky humans so-called the Order of the Stone stand a chance. Love might be powerful, but it won't help you in battle."

Cadance pointed her sword at Sombra. "Silence! Love might not be powerful enough to stop you, but we know one thing that can bring an end to the war!"

"Those humans might look like they don't stand a chance, but they are special!" Shining Armor added. "They have friendship! They have a bond! They have determination! Each and every one of them!"

"Say what you want." Sombra snapped his fingers as shards of dark crystals appeared behind him. "I would like to see you try to stop me."


Coloratura looked up and saw a three wolves corrupted by the Alliance made of wood run up to her. She pulled out her sword as it started glowing. So did her necklace that she was still wearing.

As the wolves went closer, Coloratura sliced one of them in half. The two other wolves started attacking, but Coloratura jumped as the wolves slammed into each other. Then she landed on both their heads, causing them to blow up.

Rainbow was still falling as she heard screaming. She turned and saw one of the Changelings carrying a scared Aiden. She pulled out her bow and shot a lightning arrow at the Changeling, which blew him away as Aiden started falling. Rainbow suddenly drifted to Aiden, then went above him and started going down his direction.

A white cone appeared in front of Rainbow as it started going over her and turned into a sonic boom with a colorful spectrum. She quickly flew down and finally caught Aiden. "Gotcha!"

Pinkie and Axel looked up and saw the sonic boom.

"What is that?" Axel asked.

Pinkie squealed with joy. "Rainbow did the Sonic Rainboom!"

Rainbow flew down and placed Aiden on the ground. "You know, you look pretty great with Lyra."

Aiden sighed in delight. "Lyra."

Rainbow ran away from Aiden.

A Changeling was about to hit Aiden, but Lyra came and punched him in the face as Aiden turned and noticed that Lyra saved his life.

"You saved my life." Aiden said.

Lyra walked up to Aiden and helped him up.

Aiden started leaning in for a kiss, but Lyra stopped him.

"We'll do that after all of this is done." Lyra said. "But, you're still cute." She ran back to battle.


Jesse and Sunset were now in the castle running to the top so they can get inside the Supernova.

"So, how long until we get to the top?" Jesse asked.

"It probably might take a little while for us to get there." Sunset said. "I'm not really sure."

"I guess you never been to the top of this castle."

"I've been there once with Twilight. But that was two years ago."

Jesse looked up and saw one of the pillars falling down. "Sunset!"

Sunset turned and saw the pillar about to crush them, but Sunset held the pillar with her magic and threw it out the window. Then she started regretting doing that. "Celestia, please forgive me."

Jesse rolled his eyes, grabbed Sunset's arm and continued running.


After going through so many rooms, Fluttershy finally found the one with Discord fighting Tirek and the Mane-iac holding Gabriel and Magnus with her hair. She pointed her sword at the Mane-iac. "You! Put! My idol! Down!"

The Mane-iac smirked and placed Gabriel and Magnus in a cage. "I've been expecting you." Strands of her hair went straight to Fluttershy as she dodged every attack she was given.

Discord held one of Tirek's fists. "Um, Tirek, I just want to tell you that these Equestrians are very innocent. There's no need to hurt them."

Tirek growled as he was about to punched Discord, but Discord dodged by ducking.

Discord chuckled nervously. "Tirek, let's just have a nice, warm talk. Just you and me."

"Stall all you want!" Tirek yelled. "It's not going to help!"


Jesse and Sunset finally went to the top of the castle and saw the Supernova.

"If only there was a way in that monster." Jesse said.

Sunset turned and saw a big hole behind the Supernova. "There!"

Jesse turned to what Sunset was looking at. "Great! Now we need to build us a way up."

"Or..." Sunset wrapped herself around Jesse.

"Sunset, what are you doing?"

Sunset started glowing as she and Jesse started floating.

"Sunset, I don't know what you're doing, but you're starting to freak me-"

The two were now blasted into the Supernova.


The two were now flying as they landed on the ground.

Sunset got up as she carried Jesse with magic and placed him back on his feet.

"I don't know what you just did, but I believe I have to say it again." Jesse said. "YOU ARE THE WEIRDEST PERSON I'VE EVER MET!"

"Three times in a row." Sunset replied.

The two started walking.

As Jesse looked around, he saw many colorful hearts. "Wow. Sunset, you were right. Equestrians really do have colorful hearts. But why?"

"Us Equestrians live much longer than humans." Sunset explained. "No offense."

"None taken."

The ground started shaking as the room tipped over, causing Jesse and Sunset to fall to another place into the Supernova. The two went back on their feet and continued walking.

Jesse started hearing voices from each heart crying for help. "Sunset, the hearts. They're screaming for help. I can hear them."

"You're not the only one." Sunset said. "I can also hear them."

The two stopped when they spotted a dead end. Then they looked up and saw a giant crystal with someone inside of it.

"There she is!" Sunset exclaimed.

"Luna!" Jesse said. "But how are we going to get up there?"

"Let's just be careful." Sunset started climbing the wall. As she did, she finally reached the top, carried Jesse with her magic and placed him next to her.

The two looked above them and saw that the crystal was far up. Then they looked and saw an obstacle course with many tentacles in their way.

"How are we going to get to Luna now?" Jesse asked.

Sunset looked through the tentacles and saw a yin yang-like circle with ten symbols around it and two symbols inside of it. "That circle! It could help us get to Luna!"

"But how do we get pass those tentacles?"

Sunset pulled out her sword. "We cut our way through."

Jesse smiled and pulled out his sword. "I'll take it!"

The two ran to the tentacles.


Lukas was having a hard time trying to control the cloud. "How do you control this thing?!" The cloud crashed and threw Lukas out of it as Lukas got thrown into one part of the castle and fell to the ground.

He opened his eyes and saw that he was in a yin yang-like circle with ten symbols around and two inside. He got up and examined the circle. "Wow." He looked at one symbol, which looked like a bow, and saw that it was glowing. "That symbol. It looks like..." He pulled out his bow, which was now glowing. Then he walked to the symbol and stood on it.

He looked at the others symbols. "No way. This circle is very complicated. Yet, pretty easy to tell who goes there."

Lukas heard a crash behind him and saw Olivia, Applejack, Rainbow, Petra and Rarity. "Are you guys okay?"

Rainbow got up. "No. We're dead." She said sarcastically. "Of course we're okay!"

The others got up.

Rarity sighed. "Oh, that was a workout."

"Tell me about it." Petra agreed.

Lukas them heard footsteps behind him and turned seeing Pinkie, Axel, Twilight, Spike, Fluttershy and Ivor run in, close the doors and locked them.

Spike lied down to catch his breath. "Man, that was exhausting."

"I have to agree with you, Spike." Axel replied.

Pinkie took out her frosting bottle and started eating the frosting.

Olivia turned and saw what Lukas was standing on. "Lukas, what is that?"

Lukas looked down at the symbol he was standing on. "I don't know. I just found it."

"I know what that is." Ivor said. "That is the Harmony Circle."

"The what?" Petra asked.

"A prophecy states that 12 people, five humans and seven Equestrians, will stand in this circle and take down the Supernova." Ivor explained. "Lukas is standing on one of the symbols, which means he's one of those people."

"But who stands in the other symbols?" Applejack asked.

Ivor took out a book and opened it. "According to the book, one symbol stands for Honesty. And the person who stands on the symbol is someone called the Silent Shadow."

Applejack turned to one of the glowing symbols, which was an apple. "I guess that's me." She walked to the symbol and stood on it.

Petra turned to another glowing symbol, which was a sword. "Wait. The sword. What does it stand for?"

"The sword stands for a warrior. Someone who can fight." Ivor said.

Petra walked to the symbol and stood on it.

Rainbow walked to the lightning bolt symbol that was next to Lukas. "No way. This symbol was calling my name all along."

Pinkie jumped to the balloon symbol. "I'm guessing that the balloon stands for someone who likes parties!"

"You are correct." Ivor looked at the book. "The piece of redstone stands for a redstone engineer."

Olivia walked to the redstone symbol next to Applejack. "It's obviously me."

Twilight walked to the six-pointed star symbol.

Rarity walked to the diamond symbol next to Petra.

"One symbol stands for a pacifist." Ivor said.

Fluttershy walked to the butterfly symbol. "Well, I do like animals."

Rainbow looked at the TNT symbol next to her. "Who's TNT?"

Axel walked to the TNT symbol between Pinkie and Rainbow. "Me, I guess."

Pinkie squealed with joy. "I'm finally next to my super-close friend!"

Lukas looked at the two symbols in the circle. "There's only two left. We need two more."

"But who?" Spike asked.

Ivor looked at the book. "One symbol stands for a former member of the Alliance of Darkness and the other stands for the leader of the Order of the Stone."

"Sunset!" Twilight yelled.

"Jesse!" Olivia yelled.

"Where are they?" Rarity asked.

"I feel that they are inside the Supernova trying to save Luna." Ivor predicted.

"So, what now?" Axel asked.

Fluttershy took a deep breath and took Olivia's hand, getting her attention.

"What are you doing?" Olivia asked.

"It's probably what we have to do once we step into the circle."

Pinkie and Axel turned to each other and joined hands. Rainbow and Lukas did them same. Then Rarity and Petra. Then Twilight and Fluttershy. Then Applejack and Olivia. Everyone soon held hands as they started glowing.

Ivor ran to the door and opened it, getting the others' attention.

"Where are you going?" Rainbow wanted to know.

"I have to help them!" Ivor ran out of the room, closed the door and locked it from the outside.


"I don't want to hurt you, old friend!" Sunburst yelled blocking Starlight's attack. "You know you don't want to hurt me either!"

The two broke away as Starlight shot a ball of magic at Sunburst, but he dodged.

"I know you don't want to do this! You have to fight the corruption!"

The wisps fade. "I tried to fight Sombra's corruption. But I couldn't! He was too strong for me!" The wisps come back and Starlight made another sword out of her magic. She ran to Sunburst and was about to hit him again, but he blocked her attack.

"Try again! Fight him with everything you got! Think of all the memories we've made together from childhood!"

The wisps in Starlight's eyes glow even brighter.


Jesse and Sunset took down every tentacle in their way and saw the circle in front of them glowing.

Sunset puts her sword away. "Come on!"

As Jesse was about to run, he felt something go around his ankle. He looked down and saw a dark tentacle around his ankle as it started pulling him. "Sunset!"

Sunset turned and saw the tentacle pulling Jesse, who was trying to hold on. "Jesse!" She ran to Jesse, grabbed him by the arms and started pulling him out of the tentacle's grasp. Then she shot a ball of magic at the tentacle, making it shrivel. "Are you okay?"

Jesse got up. "I'm fine!"

The two ran to the circle and looked up at the crystal.

Jesse looked at the circle and saw the ten symbols glowing. "Hey! This circle looks familiar."

Sunset looked at the circle. "What do you mean?"

"This circle. I found this in a book when we were at the Castle of the Alliance." Jesse looked at one of the symbols. "That symbol looks familiar. It looks a lot like..." He pulled out his amulet and looked at it. Then looked back at the circle. "Of course!" He walked up to the circle and stood on the one that looked like the amulet.

Sunset looked at the last symbol, the setting sun. She took a deep breath, walked into the circle and stood on the symbol.

The two joined hands and started glowing.


The four members of the Order and the guardians saw the two symbols glow.

"They found it!" Applejack exclaimed.

They started floating off the circle as their eyes started glowing.


Sombra looked at Shining Armor and pinned him to the wall with dark crystals. He turned to Cadance and shot her sword away. Then surrounded her with dark crystals. "Your time has come, Mi Amore Cadenza."


Discord fell to the ground and saw Tirek point his sword at him.

"You are nothing but a weak coward!" Tirek yelled.

The Mane-iac looked at Gabriel and Magnus as she pulled out a bat and started hitting the cage with it as she started laughing.

"Okay, now I feel the urge to throw up!" Magnus yelled feeling sick.


Jesse and Sunset started floating off the circle and started glowing brighter.

Sunset looked up at the crystal. "Sorry, Alliance. But this is for your own good!"

The two shot up to the crystal as they spun turning into a red and white ball of light as they went through the crystal.


Ivor ran into the room and saw a weakened Celestia. He turned to Chrysalis. "Chrysalis!"

Chrysalis turned to Ivor. "Hello, human." She was about to shoot a ball of magic at him, but nothing happened. She looked at her hand. "WHAT?!" She looked outside and saw the Supernova roar in pain. "No. This can't be."


Sombra was about to hit Cadance with his crystals, but nothing happened. "What? How is this possible?"

Candance broke out of the crystals with her magic and freed Shining Armor as the married couple looked outside and saw the Supernova roaring in pain.

"They did it." Shining Armor said.


The Mane-iac's hair stopped moving and fell to the ground. "No! My hair! My beautiful hair!"

Tirek's sword faded. "What?! No!"

Gabriel and Magnus broke out of the cage.


Sunburst fell to the ground and saw Starlight about to demolish him as he saw her eyes flicker and saw her fall to the ground. "Starlight!" He got up and looked at the sky seeing the Supernova roaring in pain. "They did it."

All the Changelings fell to the ground. The Dazzlings fell to the ground and shifted back to their regular forms.

Coloratura looked up and saw the Supernova roaring in pain. "They did it."


The four members of the Order and the guardians floated to the ground. The guardians were okay, but the humans were exhausted as they fell to the ground.

"Wow. That was exhausting." Olivia panted.

Everyone heard roaring and ran out an open window seeing the Supernova explode. They even saw a ball of light in the sky and saw a bunch of colorful hearts fly out of the ball as a trail.

"The hearts!" Fluttershy exclaimed.

They saw one red heart fly to another direction.

"That's Soren's heart!" Petra exclaimed.


Soren was lying in bed with a hot towel on his forehead.

Zecora looked out the window and saw a red heart fly into the hut. Then she saw it fly into Soren's chest.

Soren gasped for air and sat up. "I'm back!"

Zecora looked through the window and saw the trail of colorful hearts. "They did it, at last." She ran outside with Soren following her.


The knights cheered. Sunburst helped Starlight up. The humans and guardians ran outside and saw the ball of light float down to the ground. The light faded, revealing Sunset, Jesse, and a woman with blue and purple hair that looked like the night sky tied to a ponytail wearing dark blue armor and helmet with the night pattern.

Jesse fell to the ground in exhaustion as Sunset knelt and held him. He opened his eyes. "You did it. You saved my kind. You even saved your own."

"No. We did it. Together." Sunset helped Jesse up.

"Jesse!" The four members of the Order ran to Jesse and hugged him.

Sunset smiled and turned to the guardians and Coloratura. "Hey, girls."

"Hey. I'm proud of you, Sunset." Rainbow said.

"We all are." Twilight said.

Sunset turned to Sunburst, who was now holding an exhausted Starlight. "Hey, Sunburst."

"I knew you could do it, Sunset Shimmer." Sunburst said.

Sunset turned to Starlight. "Starlight. You came out of corruption."

Starlight smiled. "I'm back."

Celestia, Gabriel, Magnus, Ivor, Shining Armor, Cadance, and Discord ran out of the castle and saw the Order and Equestrians talking to each other.

Celestia turned and saw the woman as she ran up to her.

The woman weakly opened her eyes and saw Celestia. "Celestia?"

The Order and Equestrians turned to Celestia, who helped the woman up.

Celestia hugged the woman. "Oh, Luna. It has been two years. I missed you."

The woman known as Luna hugged Celestia back. "I missed you too, sister."

"That's Luna?" Axel asked.

Pinkie nodded.

The Order and Equestrians heard cheering as they turned seeing a bunch of people run out of the Everfree.

"Applejack!" A voice yelled.

Applejack turned seeing three people running to her. One was an elderly lady with white hair tied to a bun and orange eyes wearing a yellow plaid dress and white flats. One was a guy with orange hair and green eyes wearing a red plaid shirt with folded sleeves, blue pants and brown shoes. And one was a little girl with red hair and orange eyes wearing a green blouse, blue jeans, a bright red bow in her hair and brown boots. "Apple Bloom? Big Mac? Granny?"

"Applejack!" The little girl yelled.

Applejack ran to the three and hugged them.

"Got our little Jacky back!" The elderly lady exclaimed with joy.

Applejack broke away from her family and turned to the guy. "Did you miss me, brother?"

"Eeyup." The guy said.

Fluttershy and Discord turned and saw a girl with bright red messy hair and purple eyes wearing a white shirt, brown shorts, a yellow flower bandana on her head, brown boots, and a brown vest walk up to them. "Tree Hugger!"

The girl known as Tree Hugger turned to Fluttershy. "It's been two years, man."

Pinkie turned seeing a man with gray hair and brown eyes wearing a brown buttoned shirt, a black sweater vest, tie, pants and shoes, and a black fedora with a gray stripe and a woman with teal hair tied to a bun and bright teal eyes wearing a black dress with silver buttons, black heels and gold glasses walk up to her. "Ma! Pa!" Pinkie ran up to them and gave them a hug. "Oh, I missed you so much!"

"Gaze into the eyes of Limestone Pie, human." A voice growled.

Pinkie turned seeing three girls, one with purple hair and teal eyes wearing a blue dress and black flats, one with light gray hair and yellowish green eyes wearing a purple dress and black flats, and one with gray hair and purple eyes wearing a light gray dress and black flats, negotiating with Axel. "Maud! Limestone! Marble!"

The three girls turned and saw Pinkie run up to them as Pinkie hugged them.

"It's been two years, Pinkie." Maud said.

"Yeah! Two years!" Limestone yelled.

"Mm hmm." Marble said.

Pinkie broke away from her sisters.

Axel walked up to Pinkie. "So, who are these girls?"

"Axel, Maud. Maud, Axel. Axel, Limestone. Limestone, Axel. Axel, Marble. Marble, Axel."

Axel walked up to Maud. "Hi there."

Maud took Axel's hand and firmly shook it. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Axel."

Petra turned to Rarity. "You did great."

Rarity smiled.

"Rarity!" A voice yelled.

Rarity turned around. "Sweetie Belle?" She saw a little girl with pink and purple hair and green eyes wearing a hot pink short-sleeved cardigan with pockets with a pink and white striped shirt under, a purple belt with a white buckle, a pink hairband, a yellow skirt, and pink and yellow boots run up to her.

"Rarity!" The little girl yelled.

"Sweetie Belle!" Rarity ran to her little sister and hugged her. Tears streamed down her eyes. "Oh! I missed you so!"

The sisters broke away as Sweetie Belle turned and noticed Petra.

"Um, is that a human?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"Sweetie Belle, this is Petra." Rarity explained. "She's a warrior."

Petra went on one knee and placed her hand on Sweetie Belle's shoulder. "It's true. I'm the extremely tough one."

Sweetie Belle smiled. "You're one of the members of the Order of the Stone, right?"

"How did you know?" Petra asked.

"I just know." Sweetie Belle answered.

Rainbow turned and saw Lukas talking to someone from far away. She walked up to him. "Hey, Lukas. Who are you talking to?"

Lukas looked at Rainbow. "Just some little girl that was looking for you." He got out of Rainbow's way, revealing a little girl with purple hair and eyes wearing a black jacket and cyan zipped-up jacket, green knee-high shorts, and black boots with cyan trims.

"Scootaloo?" Rainbow asked.

"Surprise." Scootaloo said.

Rainbow smiled and hugged Scootaloo. "How was life without me, little buddy?"

Scootaloo shrugged and hugged Rainbow back.

Lukas turned and saw the Ocelots, realizing that Gill was crying. "Gill, are you crying?"

"No! I'm sweating through my eyes!" Gill lied.

"He's crying." Maya muttered.

Twilight and Spike walked up to Shining Armor.

"You did great." Shining Armor said lifting his fist.

"You too." Twilight and Shining Armor fist-bumped.

Spike looked behind himself. "Twilight, we have company."

Twilight turned seeing a man with dark blue hair and gold eyes wearing a blue buttoned shirt, a black belt and pants and brown shoes and a woman with purple and white hair and teal eyes wearing a silver knee-high dress and black heels running to her. "Mom! Dad!" She ran up to her parents and hugged them.

"We missed you so much!" The woman exclaimed. "Our little girl hasn't changed a bit."

Twilight broke away from her parents and smiled. "None of you are not going to believe what I've been through-"

"Twilight!" A voice shouted.

Twilight turned seeing a guy with blue spiky hair and blue eyes wearing gold armor and a helmet running to her. "Flash?"

"Twilight!" The guy yelled.

Twilight smiled as ran to the guy.

The guy picked her up and spun her around.

Sunset and Jesse watched them.

"Aw." Jesse said.

"Hey. Want to go check on the Dazzlings?" Sunset asked seeing Jesse nod.

The two ran to find the Dazzlings. As they stopped, they saw three siren-shaped holes on the ground.

"You...you can't defeat us." Adagio climbed out of her hole. Her hair was a mess and she was hurt on her left arm.

Aria and Sonata climbed out. They were also a mess.

As Adagio got out of her hole, she pointed at Sunset. "You...are nothing...but a big...traitor!" She turned to Jesse. "And you...are just...a weak...human!"

The Dazzlings stood up and started singing off-key.

We will be adored

The Dazzlings heard their own voices and turned to each other.

Tell us that you want us
We won't be ignored
It's time for our reward

"Try to corrupt us now." Jesse teased.

Sunset looked at Jesse and smiled. "You did great."

Jesse looked at Sunset. "We did great."

"Do you know any handshakes?" Sunset asked.

"I know the Griefer Grab."

"Can you show me how that works?"

Jesse lifted both Sunset's hands and started the handshake.

"Oh." Sunset said after the handshake ended. Then she chuckled.

"Guess you're not that fluent in handshakes." Jesse said.

"But I am fluent in this."

"And that is..?"

Sunset hugged Jesse. "This."

Jesse smiled and hugged Sunset back.

The others watched.

"Aaaw." Everyone but Axel said.

"Eeew." Axel said getting a punch from both Olivia and Applejack. "Ow! Is everyone punching their friends now?"

"Eeyup." Big Macintosh said punching Axel in the arm.

"Ow."
