Final Revelations
Jackie stared at the explosion as it happened, ever so slowly. Shendu's body was slowly torn apart as the rainbow colored energy slowly expanded, and the Talismans were blasted backwards as the demonic flesh burst into light around them. The palace was leveled and erased as the wave continued to expand. The wave continued to expand...and a blinding rainbow exploded outward, spreading out over all of China, and surely beyond. As Jackie fell back onto his butt, the three fillies, Jade, and Uncle fell back to the ground, completely spent. For some reason, the entire area was covered in tree sap.
The tinkling of metal and gemstones caught Jackie's ears, and he gasped as he saw the source. The Normalcy pendants the three fillies had worn for so long were so much slag on the ground, even the chains that had held them dissolved. "That's not good..." Jackie murmured worriedly. Glancing down, he saw that the runes drawn all over his body had vanished, though his sword was still in sight. Taking it, he made a mental note to find somewhere safe to hide it, unless more demons showed up. Hopefully, that wouldn't happen.
"Jackie?" Captain Black called out as he approached, the sniper rail gun clutched carefully in his grip. "Is everyone alright?"
"Looks like we're all alive," Jackie allowed. "Umm, except the demon."
"Right...well, good riddance." Putting the gun back in the duffel bag, he came closer. "...why are your girls' flanks glowing?"
Blinking, Jackie glanced at the fillies just as the light faded. Three different symbols had appeared. On Apple Bloom's flanks, a cauldron had appeared with two apple slices floated in it, sitting on a fire of good chi with no wood. Sweetie Belle had seven glowing green music notes arranged in the pattern she normally sang - rather than chanted - Uncle's usual chi spell. Scootaloo had six glowing green lightning bolts crossed on her flank in the shape of the Seal of Solomon. All three marks bore the green glow of good chi. "...I'll ask Uncle about that when he wakes up. It's probably important..."
"For now, let's get everyone back to base," Captain Black insisted. "We've got one near here. We can get everyone a medical checkup, just to be sure."
"Right," Jackie agreed worriedly.
As the agents carried off the unconscious fighters, Valmont snarled to himself as he watched them go. With the destruction of Shendu and the palace, the treasure was no more. His only hopes of making a profit from this venture seemed dashed. As he pulled his foot back to kick a nearby rock, he paused. The rock was too regularly shaped...
Leaning down, he picked it up and brushed it off, revealing the mark of the Rabbit. Clutching it, he grinned as he saw it glow with light. "My main objective may be no more...but I seem to have a nice consolation prize..."
When Uncle regained consciousness, he found himself back in the shop. "...Harmony..." he murmured in amazement.
"What's that, Uncle?" Jade called out in confusion.
"The power we used...Harmony," Uncle explained. "It's...it's from where the girls are from..."
"We blasted the demon with pony power?" Jade asked eagerly. "Sweet!"
Uncle's eyes widened as he noticed something missing. "The girls! Where are they?"
"Tohru's taking them shopping," Jade explained. "Apparently, part of the Harmony energy came from him, and that healed all his injuries. They wanted to just deal with seeing the world without their pendants straight away."
"Without pendants?" Uncle gasped in shock. "Aiyah! They will be mobbed for being otherworldly magical!"
"About that..." Jade began carefully. "I...don't think that's something we need to worry about."
"...eh?"
Jade kicked awkwardly at the ground, unsure how to explain.
"Jade's parents said that it would be best she learn to master her magic here, since you are an accomplished chi wizard," Jackie explained. "You didn't tell me you told them about that, Uncle."
"I didn't tell Uncle I told them about that!" Uncle proclaimed in shock. "Uncle is not going senile! Magic is ahoof-I mean, afoot!"
"Does it have anything to do with the Harmony power overloading the pendants?" Jackie asked, holding out the slag that was all that was left of the pendants. "And the rainbow released afterward covering the entire world?"
Uncle took the slag, examining it carefully. "Hmm...pendants were very powerful...if combined with Harmony as demon banishing spell..." He let out a sigh of rueful relief. "Whole world now thinks magic is normal, in same way ponies' magical nature was shrugged off by pendant power."
"You mean no one notices anything magical anymore?" Jackie asked in terror.
"No!" Uncle corrected. "People notice. Magic just not important unless they're magical."
"You mean it's like this in everyone's minds?" Jade lifted her two hands and pantomimed a conversation. "Ohmygosh! Talking candy colored ponies! Uh, yeah, they've always been ponies. Oh, so nothing important? No. Now shut up, I'm trying to watch the game."
"In...essence," Uncle allowed as Jackie buried his face in his hands. "That would explain your parents. If magic is normal, they knew your issues were magic related, and knew of my magic. So you live here. Makes logical sense."
"Awesome!" Jade crowed, leaping into the air.
"But...what about the marks on the girls' flanks?" Tohru asked as he walked in, Apple Bloom trailing along behind him without vegetation springing up in her wake. "It seems to have had...an odd effect on their magic."
As the three fillies rushed forward, Uncle pulled out the book and flipped to the page he knew he needed. "I was waiting for this day. Girls, those are your Cutie Marks." Seeing the way the girls' faces lit up at just the words, he knew the advice to wait unless/until they got them to bring this up had been right. "They represent your special talents, now that you've discovered them." He examined the marks carefully. "Each seems to be related to chi magic. Apple Bloom, yours expresses itself through potions. Sweetie Belle, yours expresses itself through music. Scootaloo...I believe yours is best expressed through the manipulation of your environment, the choreography of body and weather." After examining the patterns more closely, he nodded firmly. "And it seems to be naturally attuned to combating demonic power."
Scootaloo gasped eagerly. "You know what this means, girls?"
All three leapt into the air, high-hoofing as they shouted together, "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS DEMON HUNTERS! YAY!!"

That last line opens SO many possibilities...
Oh gods now they some how remember their mantra. May reality have mercy on Uncle's soul.
Meanwhile in the Astral Plane the Demons that were trapped there shudder as if the gates of chaos have been forced open.
All I have to say is.
I don't have anything to say here. That's just funny.
Also, what would immediately nullify that?

7879703 You're doing it wrong: It's, "What a
"
better tell Dante applejack and Vergil that they have more employees for Devil May Cry
7879730
Why didn't I think of that
So the extraordinary has become the ordinary.
This will be fun.
Season One: End
So now how will season two go down now that magic is globally known, will Hogwarts and Illvermorney be created(if they don't already exist), will magical creatures come out from the shadows and live side by side with humanity, with the knowledge of magic existing will it bring out more humans like the Dark Hand wanting to use is it for evil, and now that the season is finished will we see what's been going on in Equestria?
OOH! Possibilities are endless now.
Can't wait.
I can't help but wonder how this will effect the enviable Tirek fight, seeing as centaurs aren't demons. But then again, are Demon Sorcerers born or made?
7879789 Can't be Hogwarts, that place relies on Muggles NOT knowing about magic in general. Actually, this development would likely spell the END of Magical Countries, simply because the normal counterparts will finally know they're THERE... and violating a good many laws of their respective lands.
7879826
Actually, it'd just mean an end to magical secrecy as all the nations would already know about the magical countries, and those just had separate laws they already know about to govern use of magic.
The apocalypsis is coming, from three little ponies and a pre-adolescent young girl
7879833
So, an end to the Wizigmont and a sever reduction in the Ministry of Magic's authority?
and all across existence demons shuddered in terror without knowing why
And that's it for Season One. So, Mama Tohru next?
No....No!!!!! NNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, that's my typical reaction whenever they say 'CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS (Fill in this blank part)! YAY!!' They destroyed half the town one time,(Show Stoppers) and worried Fluttershy half to death another time.(Stare Master) And to think, I had stopped worrying about this about a year ago when they finally got their marks.
7879876
...in essence, yes.
So uhh...
This mean they remember their lives back in Equestria now? Ponyville, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, all of it? Or are starting to?
7879909
It's memory association.
The phrase 'Cutie Marks' made them remember how important such a thing was to them, and the phrase 'Cutie Mark Crusaders' as their special club. Beyond that, everything else is still shrouded behind a decade worth of other memories that don't fit.
Tree sap and pine needles....it's coming TREE SAP AND PINE NEEDLES!
Guess we got a worldwide Aurora Borealis, made in China.
Show's over folks, the girls are now marked for life.
I've got to hand it to Jade, she makes good explanations.
Jackie: So, Captain Black. Do you accept that my (cute) cousins' abilities are 'magic' now?
Black: I believe it is listed as 'classified unnatural force', not magic.
7879944
Knew I forgot something!
Fixed the first paragraph.
…*giggles madly with thoughts about the eventual Mega Crossover*AJ, I know you're tough and a true badass… but you should probably run.
Are you you going to do the other arcs?
While visiting his cousin in the Q Continuum, a certain being of nigh-unlimited power gave a shudder that shook his entire mismatched body. Some of the piece parts, such as his serpent tail and deer antler, still shook as he spoke.
"I sense a disturbance in the Chaos..."

7879701 Those poor, poor demons...
AIYAH!!!!!
i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/558/937/932.jpg
loving the nods here to old school CMC shenanigans
. this is one of the reasons that you are my favorite author on this site. keep up the good work
7879902
... Well, there goes at least 95% of the plot for the Harry Potter books. Let's face it, old Snake Face wouldn't get very far without magic being secret. Even if he did, other nation's magical beings (of all types) would step in and deal with him.
As for the rest... I guess a set of books about dating and sports in a boarding school might have a target audience...
Uh oh. They may have gotten their Cutie Marks, but they're gonna sow a lot of destruction and chaos in their wake if they decide to act like Dante from Devil May Cry
7879985 Do you think you could get the images of the new cutie marks? I really want to see them.
...well, the entire end bit felt rather Deus Ex Machinay. The Crusaders channeling the EoH cause reasons, the plot device magic gets expanded so nobody has to worry about muggles ever again, Shendu gets killed in a way that he cannot come back from (unless Uncle is just not getting something), Plot device magic also keeps Jade with Jackie, and everything is shaping up to be happily ever after...
I... Honestly don't care for the last three chapters or so. The Magic Power Armor was a really cool idea, and the sword removing the talismans was well done as well... However, passing off the finishing blow to what is essentially the EoH assuming direct control feels bad man. It made all the cool setups made earlier seem entirely pointless, and gave the fight a more of a DBZ "My super magic is bigger than your super magic" feel, which runs counter to the rather conceptual and ritualistic styled magic of the original series. Having Tohru take part in such a... loud manner also left a bad taste in my mouth, dude is a half a world away in a hospital recovering, floating and magic lightshows should be out of his league right now. Maybe just have him chant along in his sleep and keep it slightly ambiguous if it is doing anything.
Ehh, whatever. It has ended, I am glad you brought back a fun part of my childhood though, JCA was one of my favorite shows when growing up. PWNY or otherwise, seeing people still interested in it makes me happy.

Discord has the WILL-IES!!!!!!
It had to happen eventually. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the great work. Deus tecum.
Friendship always was a sappy way to win.
You sure about that, Uncle?
And to think my fear of something getting destroyed was gone...
7880485
When you say Shenron, you mean the Shadow Dragons at the end of GT, right?
7880233 Or Illidan from Warcraft.
Yay!
