Class Dismissed
The briefcase shut closed with a small snapping sound, the last of Diana's papers stored away within. She sighed with relief that her work was done before she lifted her head to gaze at the empty classroom. But while no students were in it at the moment, Diana could still hear them laughing, playing and panicking whenever she busted out a surprise test on them. She would miss this place.
'But my time here is done. I've taught them all I can,' Diana knew as she picked up her briefcase and walked towards the exit of the room, glancing back one last time with a smile on her face before she flicked the lights off and closed the door behind her. The hallway of Canterlot High was devoid of any students as Diana walked through the halls, but when she reached the front doors she found that there were still those that wished to speak with her. "Principal Luna. Principal Celestia. What can I do for you?"
"We just...wanted to give you this, before you headed out," Celestia said with a smile as she handed a small plaque to Diana. Diana received the plaque with a nod before glancing down at it, seeing her picture on the front and the words "Teacher of the year" underneath it.
"Are you sure that you wish to give this me?" Diana asked Celestia and Luna with a smirk. "I am part of the reason monsters with unspeakable power showed up at your school and attacked all of you."
"Please, I deal with Sunset and her friends on a daily basis. Monster attacks are nothing new to me," Celestia laughed as she waved off Diana's words. "But you've also done a great deal of good while you were here. Helping the students to grow. Being stern yet kind when they needed you to be. Helping Sunset to regain the fire in her eyes that I haven't seen in so long."
"Are you sure that we can't convince you stay a little longer?" Luna asked. "I kinda like having the students actually listen to us. Of course, it only works when you're in the room, but still..."
"Sorry, but my home still has a lot of cleaning up to do after what happened with Hades," Diana replied with a shake of her head. "Even with the gods restored, Steve brought back to life--as well as those that were lost here--and the Justice League freed from stone...there is too much that needs to be done. And I am sure that there is much that you need to do as well."
"I figured you would say that. Guess I'll have to go back to the megaphone to be heard over the students," Luna smirked with a shrug. Celestia then stepped forward and held out her hand to Diana with a smile on her face.
"Then I wish you the best in your future endeavors, Diana. It was nice to meet...a goddess as kind as you." Diana smiled before grasping Celestia's hand and shaking it. Luna gave Diana a wave when Diana turned to her and Diana responded with a nod. She then walked past the both of them and exited the school. The wind caught her hair and caused it to wave gently behind her as she gazed up at the sky.
"One last stop before I go," Diana muttered before taking to the sky. She flew until she reached a field where she had spent many mornings and evenings, training a particular student. That same student awaited Diana's arrival and raced over to Diana when she landed. "Hello, Sunset. Been waiting long?"
"Ten minutes. Not that long," Sunset said with a forced smile, but Diana could see the sorrow and tears in her student's eyes. "Yeah-yeah, I know that I shouldn't cry but...this is going to be hard for me," Sunset admitted as she wiped the tears away from her eyes.
"My world needs me, Sunset. I would stay longer, but I can't," Diana informed Sunset with a shake of her head.
"I know. You have to go and be a hero or goddess or whatever you feel like being," Sunset said with a wry smirk. "Who knows, maybe someone needs you like I did."
"You don't need me anymore, Sunset," Diana replied. "I have nothing left that I can teach you."
"Now that's a lie," Sunset replied with an even larger smirk. "The end of days must truly be upon us. The Spirit of Truth lying to her own student? Truly the end times."
"Well, my views are different from yours, you little smart aleck," Diana laughed.
"But I mean it, Diana. Whenever you want to visit, come on back. I know that I wouldn't mind seeing you again," Sunset softly said.
"I know. But with the barrier up, it might be hard for me to come visit," Diana replied before she lifted her briefcase and opened it up. "And since I won't always be here, I figured that I should leave you a parting gift. Something that you might like."
Sunset's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates when Diana pulled out two bracelets from her briefcase, bracelets which blazed with red and yellows that reminded Sunset of her hair. Sunset let out a little squeak as Diana offered the bracelets to her, her hands shaking as she took the armor from her mentor.
"Hephaestus made these for you, exactly the same way he made mine. It's his way of thanking you," Diana informed Sunset as the girl slipped the bracelets onto her arms. "Zeus even enchanted them so they'd be as indestructible as mine. But there's another secret. Clap your hands together and pull them apart."
Sunset did as Diana asked and to her amazement, she pulled a sword that blazed like the sun from within the bracelets. The hilt was fashioned to resemble a phoenix and the guard was the phoenix's wings. But what made Sunset's eyes mist up was the inscription written upon the blade of the weapon.
'A student of war. A student of truth. A student that made her teacher proud.'
"In case you ever forget what I've taught you, that blade will be there to remind you," Diana informed Sunset while the girl tested the blade by swinging it a few times. "It can only be wielded by you, so don't worry about anyone using it against you."
"How did you manage to get it to do that?" Sunset asked as she read the inscription once more.
"Because it belonged to Ares. It's made up of the blade that Hades ruined. He passed that blade onto me. And now I pass it onto you," Diana said with a smile while Sunset's eyes misted up once more. "But I also have something else for you...something to help drive the nightmares away in case they ever return."
"Diana...I can't accept this," Sunset said with a shake of her head as she gazed down at the golden lasso that had been repaired. "This is your lasso of truth! This is...a gift from your mother!"
"And now it is my gift to you," Diana replied, offering the lasso to Sunset once more. Sunset hesitantly reached out for it and wrapped her fingers around it, gently pulling it close to her while giving Diana an unsure look. "Do not worry, I am sure Hephaestus will forge me another one in time. And if I bother him enough."
"Why would you give this to me?" Sunset asked.
"For numerous reasons. So that you can be this world's Spirit of Truth. So that you can always expose those who wish to deceive you. And so you always stay true to yourself," Diana replied with a kind smile. An explosion of magic erupted behind the two and both turned to see a yellow portal that was in an odd shape. "That is the symbol of Fate. Doctor Fate has opened the portal that I asked for."
"So then...this is goodbye?" Sunset asked. Diana's response was to reach out to the girl and pull her into a hug. Sunset hugged Diana back, though far tighter than Diana did. After a moment they broke apart, and Diana gazed down at her student one last time.
"It is not goodbye forever. It's just goodbye for now," Diana reminded her. "And we will meet again. Perhaps next time you can come see my world. I promise that it is a lot nicer when Death isn't taking over it."
"I believe you."
"And I believe in you. You have made me so proud, Sunset Shimmer. Never forget that." Diana then turned and floated into the portal, waving to Sunset one last time before she vanished into the hands of Fate. Sunset watched until the portal closed upon itself, leaving her standing alone in an empty field. She then gazed down at her bracelets and the lasso of truth, which shone with a light of gold that reflected in Sunset's eyes. And she saw the truth.
=wWw=
"Are you girls ready?" Sunset asked her friends, each of whom nodded in response. The six girls then joined hands as their elemental power flooded through them, lifting them into the sky while a rainbow light shone amongst the six. They all then let out a scream, as a beam of pure rainbow light ascended into the sky and erupted far above the planet, creating a rainbow barrier that spread all across the planet.
"Did that do it?" Dash asked as they all landed on the ground.
"Yeah, I think it did," Sunset responded as she looked up to see the barrier slowly fade away, but her connection to the Elements told her that it was still there. "Looks like our world is finally safe from Hades and any other evil force that tries to come to our world."
"But it also might keep Diana out," Fluttershy reminded Sunset.
"Doubt it. Diana will find a way back if she has to," Applejack said with a smirk. "Ah bet she'd just break the barrier if she's desperate enough."
"Probably," Sunset said with a shrug before she sensed something and glanced around behind her. "Can you guys give me a moment. I'll meet you by the front of the school." The girls did as she asked and a moment later Sunset was all alone at the back of the school. That was until a figure stepped out of the shadows to confront her.
"Agatha. Care to tell me why your sneaking around back here?" Sunset asked the girl as she approached, not liking the glare in her eyes.
"This isn't over, Sunset," Agatha spat. "You and your teacher may have stopped my master, but I still wield some of his power." To prove her point she summoned the black armor onto her. "And I promise you that I will not stop until I make you pay for what you have done to me."
"Agatha...I am sorry for whatever I did to you all those years ago," Sunset apologized. "There are a lot of things in my life I wish I could do over again. But while I may not be able to change how I acted to you in the past, I can decide how I do it now." Sunset then stepped forward and held out a hand to Agatha. "And if you're willing to let bygones be bygones, then I will as well. I'd like to start over, if we could."
"No," Agatha spat out almost immediately. "Not until I have seen you suffer the way me and my master have. And I will avenge him by doing what he couldn't. I will destroy you." Agatha then vanished into the darkness, leaving Sunset to shake her head at what Agatha had said.
"You're hurting, Agatha. I know how you feel. And I promise that I won't stop until I've helped you," Sunset promised before she turned and headed towards the front of the school, where all of her friends were standing in front of the statue. "Sorry about that, had something I needed to deal with real quick."
"No problem...um, she responded by the way," Twilight said as she handed Sunset's book back to her. "The other me says that the portal is open...Sunset...are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes...I see the truth now. I've been running from this for a long time," Sunset admitted as she looked into the portal at the base of the statue. "But I can't run. I have to accept my past...and try to make up for what I've done. But I can't let my fears rule me forever...see you guys soon."
And with that, Sunset walked forward into the portal. And for the first time in a long time, she wasn't afraid of what she would find on the other side.
=wWw=
"While I am happy to see that everything is alright, I will say that I believe that you are rushing into this," Dr. Fate advised Diana, who looked as if she was armed for war. "You should be resting, not about to throw yourself to the multiverse to try and find wherever this...Maestro vanished to."
"That's because you weren't there, Fate. You didn't see what he would do just to kill a single girl," Wonder Woman reminded Fate. "And that was a single world. He told me that he's been doing this for gods know how long. How many innocents has he killed just to see what would happen? How many worlds and races has he doomed just to prove a theory. He is a monster...and one that I must stop."
"But must you go alone?" Fate asked. When Diana didn't answer, he let out a sigh before handing her a device. "This is a dimensional stone, but far more powerful than regular ones. With this one, and what you have told me of the Maestro, it will help you to find him. But I warn you, that this will be unlike any other journey that you have gone on."
"Thank you, Doctor," Wonder Woman responded before she used the stone to open a vortex into the multiverse, to where Fate had found a trace amount of the Maestro's power.
"I must ask again, Diana. Why must you go alone? He is not your problem."
"Because the Maestro made this personal when he attacked my student. He made it personal when he wanted to kill those who had just begun to live to see the results," Diana whispered as she glanced back at Fate with a look that Fate remembered seeing upon the face of Ares years ago. "Maestro made me his problem. And I'm going to make sure he regrets ever having done so. Goodbye, Doctor."
And with that, Diana hurled herself into the multiverse, to make sure that the one that threatened Sunset would never harm another again. For any other being it would have been an insurmountable task. But Diana was not just any other being. She was a wonder. And she would find him.

An amazing end to an amazing story. Well done!
Sure Ryu can.
SURE RYU CAN.
SO
MUCH
YES
Thus ends another chapter of season 2 of Onomonopia fics.
Ooooh, Ryu. For some reason, I thought of Etrigan, but Ryu works
Great to this story come to a wonderful conclusion.
This story is firmly in my top three favorites of your stories! So I wonder how long till Wonder Woman meets Black Adam and finds out about the War of the Champions? Is the next crossover with Street Fighter?
Fantastic ending, well done.
I'm calling it: Sunset Shimmer/Wonder Girl will eventually team up Rainbow Dash/Supermare/Supermane/Supergirl (from "No Matter How Far") and Scootaloo/Batmare/Batgirl (from *among other things* "A Dark Knight in Equestria" and "It Runs in the Family")
The legendary world warrior? My response is a resounding
This feels like it had a lot more attention and love given to it than the Wolverine story.
This story was an excellent example of your work.
The other one, not so much.
Oh. My. Gosh.
While I want a sequel to this story, showing Sunset's adventures as the new Spirit of Truth, I am also looking forward to seeing Ryu, a Street Fighter, become a teacher. He will become a teacher, right? Will he also be teaching at Canterlot High?
Our next storys main character is Ryu from Ninja Gaiden?
Cool.
7201041 I can imagine Ryu teaching Dash his signature move:
vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/8/8b/Rainbow_Dash_throws_her_hands_out_EG2.png/revision/latest?cb=20141029023053
HADOUKEN!
Fantastic end to a great story, just the thought of DIana doing a "Sliders" style road trip as she tracks down Maestro makes me want to
! If this is a representation of what we can expect from you I am so going to check out your other stories, thanks for the entertainment!
7201067 No, it's a different Ryu, from Street Fighter. I mean, at the end of that teaser, it said, "Sure Ryu can." That's a pun on one of Street Fighter Ryu's signature moves, the Shoryuken, or Rising Dragon Fist.
Street Fighter? Seriously?!
steps out to the room to geek out
Can't wait!
Someone needs to fanart Sunset with her new gear (and in a WW inspired costume).
7201067 Nah i think it's the guy from Street Fighter. The note didn't say anything that could come from Gaiden as far as i know.
7201158
Currently no other plans.
7201067 No its obviously Ryu from the Breath of Fire series
Well this little story of yours was really great and brought me many, many rage attacks by far more than any Dark Souls I ever played but to be honest, this was an highly unsatisfing ending. Why you ask? Because that stupid cunt Agatha still breaths and has her powers. Now with Sunset gone, this just spells disaster and from now on till the End Times, visions of Sunset returning to Canterlot High only to find her friends slaughtered in horrible ways, with a smug Agatha just finishing the last of Sunsets friends in an atrocious way like slowly eviserating her poor victim and dropping the still jerking corpse at Sunsets feet, fluting a honey sweet "Welcome back." at the poor Sunset will pop up in my mind. Especialy since Agatha just vowed bloody vengance at Sunset literal minutes before Sunset went on her little trip.
THIS is torture!
*takes a few deep breaths*
Okay, I´m better now.
Sure Ryu can?
*sound of a clock ticking, than a bell sound*
You sneaky bastard, well done.
Nice way to end this story! I'm also very happy to see that Sunset Shimmer has gotten some gear of her own! I might just be tempted to try and draw my own depiction of how she looks with her new gear.
Another excellent story Onomonopia, and I look forward to reading another one of your fics!
~ Super-Brony12
Sure Ryu can.
I think that pun may have killed me.
7201178
Not in the near future. Things happened in life and I've only just started writing.
7201199 I understand that I'm just unsure as to how successful of a narrative this could be considering the massive difference in power levels between the two universes. If nothing in the Equestria girls universe phases Diana and if the characters of Equestria girls don't stand a chance against anything from Diana's universe, then what is the point of the crossover?
Having read the entire thing I can honestly say that Diana was cemented as a 'force of nature' character, who doesn't really grow as much as showcase specific virtues or ideals.
Sunset on the other hand; while she did learn a few lessons along the way, they were ultimately not something she needed help with (at least as far as emotional and character driven growth is concerned). In fact she is next to useless for the entirety of the fic minus the final 3-4 chapters where she pulls off some Deus ex machina to help Diana. She just cannot compete with anything derived from Diana's world. Making the whole becoming a student of war under Diana seem kind of pointless as all the real power she gained from that training (putting aside any day to day martial techniques) that would allow her to compete with anything of significance was received as an 'instant power up' in the final chapter. The kind you would see being given out in manga like bleach.
Emotional growth didn't really happen either except for maybe Sunset overcoming some complex she had about being Celestia's student, which could have happened a lot more elegantly. Diana doesn't really get any character development (at least from what I've gathered, I can't say I'm a big fan of DC or marvel) and the majority of the fic is just people going "Oh my gosh, look at how OPOP Diana is" Who, outside the final arc was not really challenged in any way that significantly affected her. I believe the author missed a good opportunity to have Diana learn that she doesn't need to go after everything alone because guess what she goes off to do at the end of the last chapter? I guess winning against insurmountable odds only with Sunset's help didn't make her realize anything.
In fact, considering the powers of Harmony and Friendship saved the day, there isn't a lot of either in this fic. I feel the two universes (EDIT: as portrayed) are too different to mix well and all the girls (aside from Sunset) are pushed to the wayside and near forgotten except to showcase how great Diana is;even in the finale.
This story did have some pretty good fight scenes though.
All of the above, of course is just my opinion. Interpret that as you will.
"Sure Ryu can"
...YATTA!!!
7200997 Something tells me he'll be helping Dash.
i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/378/935/99e.jpg
7201294 So you noticed too, huh? Yeah.... Kind of a running theme in most of the fics by this author really. Nothing any of your favorite characters can do will ever actually stand up to the Supers in a direct competition of any kind. Including a competition of usefulness. The fics in which the crossover character isn't super-powered are usually pretty enjoyable though.
They're easy-going time-eaters really.
You once again have pulled off an amazing story, and I look forward to what comes next!
Who exactly is mastero your oc
7201525
OC antagonist.
Just popped back in after a few chapters ago to see if there was any improvement and unfortunately there wasn't. I'm not gonna repeat criticism that many, many other readers have aptly given because the author pretty much seems determined to ignore it, which is too bad, because the writing style itself is fine.
But while this is a poorly executed crossover in general (you should be blending the two universes, not letting one dominate the other, leaving it as little more than a background prop) I'm wondering why this was posted on an MLP fan site given how small a role MLP characters and settings actually played here. Would've made a lot more sense for this to be on a DC comics fanfic site since it was pretty much Wonder Woman featuring cameo appearances by a version of Sunset Shimmer that doesn't bear a lot of resemblance to her canon version.
7201530 KO awesome ending, so there going to he a street fighter story huh. Cool I might like it already.
A lovely ending but also a beginning.
It was, in the end, a story as much about Sunset as it was about Wonder Woman. Just as Hera foresaw, Diana's greatest power is that to inspire others to excel themselves and I believe that the consequences of her visit to the Equestria Girls universe will be reverberating for many years.
I don't know if Agatha can be saved. She has chosen the Dark Path of her own free will rather than through madness, being misled or coerced. There may be precious little light left in her and who knows if that is enough for her to be saved. However, now she faces a septet of Element Bearers who have been forged into something harder and more powerful through a divine trial. I suspect that she does not have nearly enough power to achieve her goals, only enough to permanently damn her own soul.
As for Diana? Well, if I were Maestro, I would feel a little shiver of anticipation. An experience and a lesson far beyond anything else he has imagined now awaits him as the enemy he made seeks him out.
Was anyone else hearing "Form Blazing Sword" when she brought it out?
I have a strange feeling this will be called the Teacherverse due to the people serving as teachers here...
This story... Badass. Only real way to sum it up. Great job!
7202008 OMg that is perfect lol the teacherverse ok who is next....batman or Clark
7202042 Pretty sure the Teacherverse won't be limited to DC Heroes, based on the author's note on the last chapter.
7201423 Agreed, if I ignore the fact that mlp characters are in there at all and pretend this is a story about wonder woman, its actually relatively okay. As I said, I think the fight scenes are pretty well written and some of the dialogue is cheesy enough to get a chuckle out of me.
7201511 Erm, if you want to feel free. I'd actually be interested in how Chrysalis managed to beat Celestia. My theory involves a lack of coffee in the morning
.
7201097 Ah okay.
7201208 Hey, if the note at the end of the last chapter was any indication, the one with Ryu might actually be a sequel to this. You've gotta admit, even Agatha, power of Hades and all, would be pretty f***ed if she tried something with him around. He would beat the tar out of her, you know?
7202334
Your word in God´s (and the author´s) ear, but yes, that he would.^^
7202072 in that case Spiderman spiderman
7200912
What, are you saying music isn't an art form?
There is nothing i can say that havent been said already, so i will settle with illuminati theorys.
Althought i never been great in fighting games, who doenst know Ryu? but who could ever be his student? who could match his desire to improve themselves? who ever it is, im sure The Eternal Challenger can handle the difficulty spike from practicioner to teacher.
On another note, im sure im not the only one to notice some foreshadowing of another War coming, this story in particular Screams future team up on the future, buuuuut, maybe our champions wont the ones we think, rather the ones we overlook.
PS: great as always Ono-san.
7201235 Rest in pepperoni.
7200994
Add in Trixie, GL Spike, BL Sweetie Belle, GL Apple Bloom, Billy "Captain Marvel" Sparkle, Apple "Mary Marvel" Bloom, and Black Adam and you have one rocking Justice League!
7205427 so, a crossover of the aforementioned stories and *among other things* "For Her Mistakes", "The Emerald Dragon", "The Emerald Touch", and "The War of the Champions"?
I'm okay with this 
.

7206015
Well Hulk is Marvel, but you tell him he is not invited. If you where to add Mr Bubbles the Big Daddy, Robocop, Samurai Jack, and Zangief many people would be happy!
