Spiders and Loyalty: Maximum Shadows

by Alvaxerox

Epilogue

A week have passed since the shadow invasion had ended. And things we're turning up good. The school board had lifted Celestia's suspension and let her return to Canterlot High to be the principal again after declaring her, Rainbow Dash and Spider-Tsundere a hero for saving everyone from the shadow invasion. "So they really let you back?" Isabelle asked.

"Yep. They did." Celestia said. "Can you believe it? Me, a hero, after saving the city, they decided to dismiss the investigation and I was brought back to be the principal again."

"That's awesome." Isabelle said.

"Heh, they way you say that, you almost sound like Rainbow Dash." Principal Celestia said.

"Well it's good to have you back Principal Celestia." Isabelle said. "By the way, How's Vice Principal Luna?"

"She's been okay. Everyone just need some rest after being taken over by the shadows." Principal Celestia said. "So I heard you have one week left before you and your friends and family return back to Japan."

"Yeah. After Tira and I closed the case in the cosmic waves now that we know how it happened. We have accepted that our Earths are now one. And we'll come back to Canterlot whenever we want." Isabelle said. "So we're just gonna stay here for one more week before we go back home to Neo-Tech."

Later...

Isabelle walked to Applejack's house to see how she's doing. "Hey Applejack."

"Oh, howdy there Isabelle." Applejack said as she waves. "What brings you around these parts."

"I wanted to give you this." Isabelle said as she holds what looks like a sock?

"Uh... No offense sugercube, but that's just a sock." Applejack said.

"It's not just any sock. You see, Tira Stars and Principal Celestia has been working on synthezoid bio suits, and the data from the shadows gave them a breakthrough." Isabelle said. "And since Rainbow Dash will be leaving Canterlot City for the month to make amends with her parents soon. I figured you want to try it one so you can protect Canterlot City. It's called a sockbond. A hero I know name Power Red has one of these."

"Okay. If you insist." Applejack tried on the sockbond and it took over her body creating a soft sock suit. "Holy moly. It's like being a sock monkey."

"Unlike the shadows, this is not alive." Isabelle said. "And since the pony Twilight has some spider DNA in her, you practically have the same powers like me and Spider-Girl. Plus with brand new elastic abilities."

"It also makes me feel stronger." Applejack said. "Thanks Isabelle. I'll keep this one and protect my family."

"Your welcome Applejack. I heard that your friends Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie will be returning to Canterlot city soon. So practically... With you, Sunset, Wallflower and Rainbow Dash. Your basically like some kind of Power Ponies." Isabelle said.

"You could say that. But what would I use for a name if I'm gonna be a true superhero." Applejack said as she thinks. "Nightmonkey? No. Oh, Spidermonkey!, No."

"How about Girl Arachnid?" Isabelle suggested.

"Girl Arachnid. Good idea Izzy." Applejack said.

Later...

Spider-Tsundere and Rainbow Dash hanged out while fighting a villain name Typhoid Mary. "She's crazy isn't she." Rainbow Dash said to Spider-Tsundere.

"I should say so. And yeah she can make objects into fire." Spider-Tsundere said as she webbed up Typhoid Mary and Rainbow Dash delivered a small slam. "Nice work... Sonic Rainboom."

"Thanks Spider-Tsundere." Rainbow Dash said.

Later they were having ice cream on a rooftop and chatting. "So your leaving Canterlot City like me?" Isabelle asked.

"Yeah. But not for long. I said some things to my parents I'm not proud of cause I always thought parents are nothing but embarrassments. But I have learn from Applejack one time is that I have to appreciate having them. After all, AJ lost her parents a long time ago." Rainbow Dash said. "And after how you were depressed after the shadows took over your parents, I realized Applejack was right all along."

"I guess Applejack and I opened your eyes." Isabelle said.

"I guess you both did." Rainbow Dash said. "Thank you for being a good friend Izzy."

"And thank you for giving me hope again. You really are a loyal friend." Isabelle said as she gave Rainbow Dash a hug.

Later that night...

Isabelle found her boyfriend Chad sitting on top of the apartment complex he and the others from Neo-Tech were in. "Hey Chad."

"Oh, hey Isabelle." Chad said.

"I... Heard that the shadow that took over you was burning before I cure you." Isabelle said. "Kasai told me about it."

"Did she told you why?" Chad asked.

"Yeah. You couldn't let go of the dark moment from your past. It's about Xira isn't it?" Isabelle asked.

Chad shed a tear. "She literally looks like my old friend Cora." He said. "Everytime I look at her. I see Cora."

"Is it because Xira is Cora?" Isabelle asked.

Chad's eyes widened. "How did you know?"

"Kasai told me everything." Isabelle said. "Xira really is Cora. She's just... Reincarnated. That's why she doesn't remember her past life. Or why she looks like Cora." Isabelle said. "Look Chad. I know you fail Cora. But you should be a little happy that she is reincarnated back to life. She may be a different person. But you can at least be happy she gets to start a new life."

"But... I miss her." Chad said. "Cora was the best thing that ever happened to me before I met you."

"I use to think the same about my aunt before she was killed in front of me." Isabelle said. "I do miss her. But I know she's in a better place. And so is Cora. She's gets to start her life all over again. The best thing to do, is to move on. Be strong and never forget. Cora's memory will always be with you Chad. But one day, Xira will find out the truth. And when she does... Be ready to explain everything." Isabelle put her hand on Chad's hand. "I'm here for you Chad. I love you."

"I love you too Isabelle. Thank you." Chad said as he and Isabelle kiss.

"When did you get so wise." Chad asked.

"Since the magic friendship gave me hope to save all of you." Isabelle said.

A few days later...

Isabelle and her friends and family's last day in Canterlot flew by very fast. Isabelle went to the principal's office. "Hey Principal Celestia."

"Ah Isabelle, last day in here." Principal Celestia said. "I take it the exchange program as reached its deadline."

"Yeah. And I came here to say goodbye." Isabelle said. "You did so much for me, you kept my secret. Helped me cure the city. And you've given me hope again. You really are the good friend Celestia."

"I'm honored Isabelle. In fact Luna and I have something to show you." Principal Celestia said as she got off her chair.

"Follow us." Vice Principal Luna said. Isabelle followed Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna to the front yard of the school. "Okay. Open your eyes."

Isabelle opened her eyes. "What is it you wanted to show..." Isabelle's sentence was cut short. As she sees a statue next the what looks like a statue of Spider-Girl. And the next to Spider-Girl... Was a new statue of Spider-Tsundere. "Holy snap!"

"You did so much for this city. We commission a statue to be out in place beside our other greatest hero." Principal Celestia said.

"This school will be live as a monument to heroes that saved Canterlot City. And you Isabelle, your one of them now." Vice Principal Luna said.

"Wow. Thank you. I won't forget this place, and i won't forget you... My friends." Isabelle said. "So how come you didn't give Rainbow Dash a statue?" Isabelle asked.

"It will only inflate her ego. So she's been given a medel." Principal Celestia said as the 3 of them laughed.

Later...

Pinkie Pie came back to Canterlot City just one time as Vinal Scratch was preparing the music set. Rainbow Dash was happy to see her, Sunset Shimmer, Rarity and Fluttershy again. Applejack was happy too. Rainbow saw Isabelle getting ready to go to the airport with her friends and family. "Hey Isabelle wait." She yelled out.

Isabelle turned her head as the others stopped. "Oh hey Rainbow Dash. I forgot to say I wanted to say goodbye."

"I know your leaving but before you go... Do you wanna sing that song you sang back when you became that Pony of Light?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Really?"

"Of course darling. Me and the other girls didn't get a chance to hear it. After all, you did saved the city." Rarity said.

"Yeah. And you get a statue for it." Pinkie Pie said.

"And we heard it's very beautiful in a rock and roll kinda way." Fluttershy said.

"So what do you say. Wanna sing with the Rainbooms?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Mom, Dad, can I?" Isabelle asked.

"Sure. We can manage to wait." Penelope said.

"Yeah go ahead. I like to hear it again too." Ken said.

"It helped saved the city." Sasha said.

"Your right about that." Xira said.

"They are your friends after all." Tira said.

"Go on Izzy." Chad said.

"I like to hear it too." Kasai said.

"Good thing we made it before you started singing." Principal Celestia said as she arrives with her sister and Wallflower Blush.

"Alright. Hand me that microphone." Isabelle said. Then everyone started coming.

"1, 2, 3 , 4!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light!

On that day when the sky fell away
Our world came to an end
In our eyes, did a fading sun rise
In the dark glimmering shadows

Silence grows in the spaces between
Stretching out beyond time
Rising up as a chorus of souls
Find a voice

Flickering through the void
These little sparks cling on to life
Everyone caught in the struggle
And then the storms of change
They fan the flames
Scattering ashes to the wind!

Every soul contains a whisper of light
Gleaming faintly as it dwindles from sight
No escape, no greater fate to be made
In the end the chains of time will not break
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Search your soul and reawaken the undying light!

As fate spins
A thread without end
New life draws it's first breath
Blossoming in a soil reclaimed from the past
Where destiny holds fast
Here where we stand
Hand clenched in hand
Everyone caught in the struggle
This is the day we finally find our way
Stepping into our tomorrow!

Every soul contains a whisper of light
Growing louder as it calls to unite
From the distance sings a chorus of souls
Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Light will guide you on your way to the ultimate fight!

Every soul contains a whisper of light
Growing louder as it calls to unite
From the distance sings a chorus of souls
Rising slowly, stirring heat from the coals
Colors weave into a spire of flame
Distant sparks call to a past still unnamed
Bear this torch against the cold of the night
Light will guide you on your way to the ultimate fight!"

The end...
