(A/N if there's anything you want explained in a sidestory tell me and I'll consider it. I just pumped this out in an hour and I like it. this is the official end to the main story, enjoy. off topic sorta- http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/2+Falken/3CmQcr?src=5 this song was on loop the entire writing of this chapter)
“What is it Love?” Luna asked. Twilight had been staring out of the window and into Ponyville again. They had expanded the Library, it now sported five floors instead of two.
“All of these spirits...these spirits of creation...they're...calm. I thought they would at least want to be needed by the world again. It's weird. I sometimes have dreams where I talk to them. Every time I ask them about it. I get the same answer every time.” Twilight explained.
“What is that?” Luna asked, lying down next to the Lavender Alicorn on the bed.
“I ask them why they don't seem to want to be needed...they answer with, 'Because we no longer need to want it'...it's confusing...but I think I've decoded what it means.” Twilight replied. Luna was starting to get worried. Twilight seemed so mellow and calm. Her speech seemed tired, yet not tired. Almost lazy.
“it's because they've 'moved on' so to speak. That part of their existence is over. Now they can enjoy and revel in it- their creations- and through me be a part of it again.” Twilight explained.
“I see...is this ';through me' part hurting you though? You seem exhausted more often than not right now...is there something wrong?” Luna asked, giving her love a worried face.
“Not hurting me...but having seven different spirits in your mind is rather exhausting.” Twilight said with a chuckle.
“I have been thinking on that...the old Alicorns...they greatly resemble your friends, do they not? The other elements?” Luna asked. Twilight thought about it a moment.
The first thing that came to her mind was Fluttershy. Fauna, the two would probably have been exact copies. The next was Flora, that would be Applejack. Atmosphere, even though he was Male, was obviously Dash. Aqua, he created water to help the others and their creations, that was like Rarity...generous as ever. Harmony and Pinkie Pie...well, they didn't call her the 'life' of the party for no reason.
“Now that I think of it, you're perfectly right. I'll talk to them when I can, for now I need a power nap.” Twilight said.
“How about we all go out on one of those Picnics you always told me about later this evening?” Luna suggested.
“That's actually a great Idea.” Twilight replied sleepily.
“I'll go set everything up then. Nap well.” Luna said. Twilight grunted in response.
---
“I don't see why you didn't just leave that to me Sis.” Spike said as he, Luna and Twilight arrived early on the top of a hill overlooking Ponyville for the picnic. Spike had been calling Twilight 'Sis' for a while now, but ever since her relationship with Luna had been announced he included his new step-sister in the nickname.
“Because I enjoy a nice walk around town every now and then.” Luna replied.
“True enough. There's Sapphire now with Dash and AJ.” Spike said, noticing the two ponies and slightly smaller bright blue Dragon coming.
“Howdy.” Applejack said upon her arrival.
“We haven't done one of these in ages, I missed your cooking Spike.” Dash said, fist bumping the purple dragon. Well, hoof bumping in her case.
“I didn't know you cooked for anypony but Twi and Luna.” Sapphire said with a grin before kissing the purple dragon.
“Normally I don't, but even though they're good they can never cook as well as I can. And only the best for our friends.” Spike said.
“Oh look, Flutters and Night brought Monty. I haven't seen that ball of fur since he went back into the Everfree last week.” Dash said. They all looked and saw the two Pegasi flying slowly over to them with the friendly Manticore in tow.
“I hope you guys don't mind.” Night pleaded when they arrived.
“Of course not.” Twilight said.
“Thank you Twilight. so...um...we're just waiting for Rarity and Pinkie right?” Fluttershy asked.
“Nope!” Pinkie said, popping out of the tree.
“Darling are you ever going to tell me how you do that?” Rarity asked, coming from the other side of the clearing. The group laughed at the antics and soon were chatting about really anything. When the sun began falling and Luna raised the moon there was soon a blue/green fire going.
“So...there's a reason other than enjoying the company of friends I asked you all to come here.” Twilight said when they had all settled down.
“Does it have sumthin' tuh do with why yuh've been so tired?” Applejack asked.
“Actually yes, how'd you figure that out?” Twilight asked. Applejack shrugged. They were all friends, of course they would notice her lack of energy.
“Right...well...the old Alicorns...Aqua, Harmony, Flora, Fauna and Atmosphere, Light and Night. Their spirits reside within me, you know this. But having seven entities in me is sapping my energy...I need to reduce it somehow but I can't bring myself to banish them back to wherever they were before me...it would be cruel and they love it here.” Twilight started.
“Well then you just gotta find someplace else to put them right?” Dash asked.
“Basically yes...but...they would need to be living ponies in which through their 'hosts' the spirit could enjoy it's shared life. They would have to be the most trustworthy of ponies.” Twilight replied.
“And you want us to do it?” Pinkie asked.
“Well yes...I hadn't thought of it until Luna brought something to my attention.” Twilight started and explained the connections.
“Um...what would happen to us?” Fluttershy asked.
“I asked them about it during my nap not too long ago...you wouldn't gain immortality or anything, maybe an extra decade or so. You'd always have somepony to talk to and help you out as well. Beyond that though they didn't know either.” Twilight said.
“Well of course I'd do it. Being practically a god of weather would be awesome! Plus I'd do anything for you Twi, we're all like best friends and you'd do the same.” Dash said. The others gave similar agreements, Fluttershy's a bit less loud but equally determined.
“Thank you so much girls. I really don't know how to do it...but-” Twilight started. She was cut off as she began to glow and a series of different covered auras manifested around her. They quickly took shape as large Alicorns, though slightly transparent. It was the five Alicorns that were getting new 'hosts'.
“Hello Miss Rainbow Dash. I am Atmosphere.” one of the Stallions said. If Dash was a Stallion, her coat was slightly gray and her mane and tail were much longer they would have matched. Minus the height and horn of course. Dash's eyes widened at the sight.
“I am Flora.” the Mare next to him said. She had a green coat and her mane and tail resembled branches and leaves. Applejack couldn't help but look to see if there were apples growing in them.
“and I Fauna.” another Mare said with a slight shake. The Mare looked identical to Fluttershy, minus the horn. Night and Fluttershy both looked at her, and then Fluttershy, and then back again.
“I am Aqua.” the final Stallion said. If Blueblood really was blue, a million times more polite and more regal looking instead of 'noble' than they would be twins. Rarity couldn't help but swoon.
“And I'm Harmony!” the Final mare exclaimed. Her mane and coat were pink like Pinkie's, but the shade was never stable for more than three seconds. It shifted almost as if waves of the ocean would with occasional firework-like explosions of color. Pinkie's eyes widened up as her face registered pure joy and amusement.
As one, the group all turned to Twilight and bowed low to the ground.
“Why are you bowing to me?” Twilight asked, nervously pawing at the ground.
“Because of you, we are able to enjoy life again. You suffered for our happiness, and now you are allowing us the same thing, but with the addition of friendships that will last forever!” harmony exclaimed.
“And this time you don't have to suffer at all.” Fauna said.
“Unless you miss talking to us of course, but you could just talk to us in your dreams.” Atmosphere said.
“Well I hope you all have fun. We'll always be here if you need us to take them off your hooves” Night's voice came, it was heard by them all.
“While we have the power to speak to you while you are awake and before we get Twilight Dear, you are going to have to introduce us to your parents at one point.” Light's voice came, earning a laugh by all but Luna and Twilight. That would be one VERY awkward evening.
“Our projections are fading. You all ready?” Aqua asked the group. They all nodded and braced themselves. The five projections turned back into the auras and were absorbed into their corresponding bodies.
The group all changes somewhat. Fluttershy and Dash's wings fanned out nearly twice as long as they had been before, they gained a foot or two in height and their manes and tails became a bit more smooth and silky. Applejack and Pinkie gained a bit more height while their manes and tails took a similar look, but their muscles became even more toned and powerful. Rarity's horn lengthened a few inches as similar changes manifested in her. Their cutie marks changed a bit as well, they now had a single small star somewhere on the magical images.
“Well shoot...that's one thin Ah need to get used to...” Applejack said, stumbling over with her new height.
“Now I can reach the top shelf in the bakery without even having to double bounce!” Pinkie exclaimed. They all laughed, and then simultaneously yawned.
“Well, I fear we must all retire to sleep. We will definitely be seeing you all tomorrow.” Luna said.
“Oh yeah, you bet.” Dash said, shakily taking to the air but quickly getting used to her new wingspan and taking wing to her cloud house.
“See you tomorrow.” Fluttershy said as she and night turned around.
“Ah just might work fer a bit to get ridda this extra energy.” Applejack said to herself as she left as well.
“I need to take a super pinkie pie power nap...” Pinkie said, yawning as she bounced away.
“I have a million ideas on designs this new form would fit with oh this will be so fun!” Rarity squealed as she looked her new form over as she walked.
“hey we're gonna go flying for a bit, mind if I stay at her place tonight?” Spike asked.
“Sure spike, I'm your sister not your mother.” Twilight said.
“Eh you're both. Cya tomorrow.” Spike said as he and Sapphire took off.
“Well, that was exciting. It is a shame Tia couldn't see it.” Luna said.
“Oh don't worry, I had a memory spell running. I'll implant it into my next friendship report she'll obviously be getting after this.” Twilight said.
“Always thinking ahead.” Luna commented with a smile as they walked back to the Library.
Wooooooo, more! This shall be read by days end. God, I'm stalking this series. A warning, it's gonna happen with CD, too. *grabs story, retreats into cave*
711697 well now the main story is fully completed, now that's left is sidestory
disregard well-being, acquire fimfics
antiquiet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/x-all-the-things-468x351.jpg
GIVE ALL OF THE MANE 6 POWERS!!!
Nice!!
711753 cool, and I'd like to officially declare that I am in idea mode. If you're lacking any kind of idea then feel free to just throw a request in my direction. This goes for people reading this comment too, feel free to give my services a try. I dunno how long it'll last, but last time it was about a month, so lots of time for ya!
My requested sidestories are the explanation behind ChrysLestia pairing and "Who the buck is Sapphire and why is Spike dating her instead of Rarity?"
711823 well we shall see my friend
711852 Chryslestia of course, and that SaphSpike one I think I'm going to integrate into one massive jubmle of sidestory for all the pairings
711804 this. SO. MUCH. WIN.google.ca/imgres?q=so+much+win+picard&um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&sa=N&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbnid=auCErTxpyukZzM:&imgrefurl=http://imnotaterribleperson.tumblr.com/&docid=cEK_MxlPiwxcMM&imgurl=http://www.lowbird.com/data/images/2011/01/so-much-win.jpg&w=694&h=530&ei=tiDRT6fUNOHa2AWt8NSDDw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=398&sig=103221193858276088737&page=1&tbnh=147&tbnw=201&start=0&ndsp=38&ved=1t:429,r:7,s:0,i:93&tx=48&ty=92&biw=1680&bih=986
Then they all fucked
711954 teh correct term is 'and then they bucked' but it's still not going to happen
711753 hay dark do a side story depicting her parents reactions and also a fic detailing how twi reacted to celly and chrysalis becoming so close.
anyway keep up the awsome story's
This was a nice ending to a great story, good job :)
711768 My opinion precisely! Someone get an adventure fic going based on this thing! Maybe somekind of meta-war with the evo'ed characters from this fic playing an important part?
711823 You do that too? Hmm... you mind reading the blog on my profile and giving an opinion? It seems strangely relevant.
712065 Side Stories, then Sequel, then moar sequels, ad infinitum or until the fanbase dies?
711804 Inaccurate. They aren't all Alicorns, they are Evolved. AJ now has a foresty mane, Pinkie looks like... well she hasn't changed THAT much, she's just trippy now and has muscles. Fluttershy and RD have epic-level wings... and Rarity's horn spiked a couple feet in length. Twi's the only alicorn.
By the time I finish reading all the Fics I am reading most of them well be a jumbled mess in my mind and the most I will probably be able to remember was how much I enjoyed them WHY MUST THIS HAPPEN..........SO MANY GOOD STORIES WHY CANT MY MIND BE A LIBRARY
711763
You sir have your priorities in the correct order.
Although, a more precise description would be disregard everything, acquire Formica
712368
Haha, all in good time my friend, all in good time. You will become accustom to it.
712371 Alicorn-level power is uncertain, but really up to the writer. Oh! Hi Deadpool. Sorry I'm a bit busy talking to this clonetrooper. Nice to see you again.
712561 (Forgive me but the mods will kill on this kind of thing... to much RP)
"Sure man. I'll grab some nachoes too. You mind if I bring Pinkie?"
712621 "Sweet. See you Tuesday then."
mind blowing story props to you sir /)

712325 they all gained an alicorn-like stature, mane and tail. but depending on their race they had different changes. Dash and Flutters got epic wings, Rarity got an epic horn and stronger magical power while Pinkie and AJ got taller than the others and stronger. basically the things that made their races unique got stronger
713103 That's what I SAID...
I want to see the story behind the Chryslestia/Celesalis.
712325 hahahahaha! almost a clone of what i do! I'm very focussed on weapons, personally. seriously, give me 20 minutes and i can design some pretty badass weapons. see my Rainbow Dash vs. Applejack (extremely fantasized, but tbh, it was a slightly political piece, and otherwise designed to show off my weapons... so go check those descriptions!
EDIT: the story is mature, mostly out of "to be on the safe side" caution, so you'll have to turn the filter to mature to read it.
Yet another great installment. Oh, and I wish I knew how to do it, but please insert Clonetrooperkev's Oprah thing here. So much win. Ach, my thumbs have blisters from working the steel wool, gotta love dishes, so know that I really mean this: I love this story, and I CANNOT wait for the next installment/side story/ fic that you write, and I think that's shared by everyone here! Who's with me?!
Sorry, just felt like making a melodramatic speech.but really, good on you man, first thing I read when I got home was this story :) and it was so worth whatever wait I had to endure (though I thank the other bits of your library for helping me hold onto my insanity this long. Here's to a great writer and his great works! And may the force be ever in your favor. :P
P.S. I'll just get the review for this fic written. Message me if you'd like the review release order.
712006 technically, you could make a troll sidestory out of that featuring the group helping AJ during the next applebucking seasondl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/Applejack_lolface.png
Not too short, not too long. Good lore concepts, rushed abit, but still fun to read.
Overall:
media.comicvine.com/uploads/5/52044/2060390-i_like_it.jpg
How the hell could Fluttershy's hair look more smooth and silky?
You obviously had some really good ideas with this tale, like teaching Changelings to love for their own, but to be honest... the execution felt horribly, horribly rushed. There was enough potential in there for, let's say, at least one or two hundred thousand words more. One could probably write a whole book out of this, a complete series...! But that didn't happen. And that's just very unfortunate.
I'm sorry.
I don’t think it was rushed at all.
Great story and storytelling, will read more,
Charlie OUT.
I adore every ounce of this lore. Better than the cannon as far as I can see. #headcannonaccepted
