OH MY GOD! I AM SO HAPPY THAT YOU GIVES HAPPY ENDING TO FLASH AND OTHERS!!!! WAY BETTER GRAND FINALE!!!! THANK YOU, BANSHEE!!!!!

I am rather surprised that you decides to sorta continues the series since I thought you would be done with the series… but I am pleasantly surprised that you're not closing the door on this series… it's awesome series in my opinion.

Through, are you going to reveal the name for Mane Seven's children along with other children since not all of them are named?

Here's highlights

"I'm not strong enough yet." Heart grumbled, "I need to be as strong as I can, especially if I wanna take down Doom and the rest of them."
They all frowned at this, knowing what he was talking about. After they had recovered from Armalum's little hatred drain, the villains of the Crystal Pen had managed to take the guards in the empire hospital by surprise. They pretended to still be unconscious, then blasted the guards and used the opening to escape. In the seven months since they escaped, there hadn't been a single sighting of them.

Oh shit! They're still out there!

"Me neither," Heart nodded, "Feels kinda weird, thinking I'll be living in a big busy city." He remembered when he had first heard about them moving to Canterlot. He had been super excited, but that was when he thought he would be training with Flash. Ever since his mentor's departure, Heart had been training as hard as he could to be the knight Flash wanted him to be, but for some reason, the excitement about being a knight had faded away. He still wanted to be a Knight, but the idea of being one didn't fill him with joy like it used to.

Poor Heart.

Twilight smiled as they marched back to the throne. "Actually," she sat down, "Not exactly." She was about to continue, only for the throne room's doors to open up. They all turned to see a red pegasus stallion wearing an orange leather jacket.
He marched forward and bowed, "Princess."
"Fire Heart," she nodded back, Luster going wide-eyed, as this was her first time meeting the famous Ig-Knighter.

Hey! Adult Fire Heart is here!

Twilight waved her hoof at this, "Oh, I faced a few good problems on my own. And while I know my friends will always be there when I really need them, that doesn't mean I'm completely helpless on my own." Luster nodded at this, only for Twilight to spot something behind the unicorn, "But even though I can handle situations on my own, it doesn't mean I want to. And luckily, I don't have to rule alone."
"What do you mean?" Luster asked as the doorway behind her began to open again.

Huh?! What's going on, Twilight?

Twilight smiled at this and nodded, Celestia summoning her magic and enveloping the group in a bright light. When the light faded, they were now in Canterlot Park. They all turned to see the sight making many of them remember their friend and feel remorse. Located on the spot the treehouse had once resided, there now stood a large bronze statue of Flash Sentry. The statue showed Flash in his armored form, holding Lightbringer up to the sky as if he was flying up to attack something from below. The statue showed Flash in all his heroic glory, which would hopefully last well beyond anypony the knew him.

Awwww…

And as she said this, several pairs of eyes in the nearby bushes stared at the sight before them. Storm Blade, Big Score, Rickashay, Boulder, Electra, Banshee, Shake Shocker and Doom Raizer smiled as they hid behind the foilage, "Oh, this is too perfect." Doom laughed as he picked something up.

OH HELL NO!!!!

Twilight then saw the bolt, which had stopped inches from her chest. And when she took a closer look, she saw it was surrounded by a strange mix of gold and black light. Twilight turned to the others, wondering if Celestia or Luna had saved her...only to surprise on their faces.
She looked back at the light and stared at it, specks of the light flying off and landing on her. As they did this, she felt something. She knew this magic, and it could only come from one place. "Flash?" Everypony else heard this and gasped as the light began to change.
It grew larger and spread to the left, forming some kind of tendril. But they soon realized that tendril was actually a hoof and leg as the body began to form. Within seconds, a pony form stood beside Twilight with their hoof around the bolt. A pair of wings soon sprang out the back and when it was completely formed, the light began to slowly fade away. Doing so revealed an orange coat beneath the light, along with blue hair on the pony's head and a blue tail coming out of their flank. Twilight could hardly believe what she was seeing, but then she noticed something wasn't right.
This pegasus looked almost exactly like the one she knew, but there were a few changes. Firstly, the scar that had once been on his chest was now gone. The next noticeable difference was his wings and hooves, which were now blue at the tips and feet. Finally, the last thing of note about him was his height. It might have only been a few inches, but he looked taller.
And as the last of the light faded away, he opened his bright blue eyes before smirking at the criminals. "Admit it," he threw the bolt back at Doom. "You missed me."

FLASH?!?!

Twilight's heart was about to explode at this, only to leap at him, "FLASH!" She hugged him, Flash embracing her back as their friends ran over, "It's you, isn't it?! This isn't some kind of cruel joke somepony's playing?!"
"It's me," Flash replied, "I promise."
"It...it is him," Springer slowly said, "I'd know that aura signature anywhere." Flash and Twilight pulled away, Flash turning to the others and seeing them all crying their eyes out. "But...how?"
Flash chuckled at this, "Faust." They all flinched at this, "I know. I can hardly believe it myself."

Wait, WHAT?!?!

"I...I don't understand," Flash replied, "I thought...I thought you were..."
"Dead?" Flash nodded, Faust laughing. "In a way, I was. Armalum took my power and erased me from existence. It's only thanks to you that I'm here."
"What do you mean?"
"Did you really think that after Cozy almost wiped me out, that I'd let myself be destroyed so easily? After my powers were restored, I decided I needed to make it so nothing like that could ever happen again. So, I made a backup of myself. Took a part of my consciousness and placed it inside another body."
Flash remembered after Cozy was defeated how Faust had appeared to him. He then remembered her going inside of him, stating she was checking him for any permanent damage, "Wait...you placed a part of yourself inside of me?"
Faust nodded back, "When Armalum defeated me, I knew only one pony could defeat him. So, I used the last of my strength to infuse all my memories into my power. When you absorbed my power out of Armalum, it allowed my memories to fuse with the backup I left in you and voila! Here I am."

Ha! Cozy may have helped Armalum but at the end, she unintentionally screwed his plan by inspiring Faust to creates a backup of herself! Nice job, Cozy!

The mare was still crying as she stared at him. He chuckled at the sight, only to walk up and instantly planted his lips on hers. She gasped, only to quickly kiss him back as the others smiled at the sight. When they pulled away, they stared into each others eyes.
"I've wanted to do that for six months," he whispered.
Twilight placed a hoof on his cheek, "Promise me you'll never leave like that again."
"I promise," he nodded, "Faust is probably using me as another backup, but I won't let anything happen that would force me to use it again. I'm staying with you, forever." Twilight slowly nodded back, only to see Flash spin around and stare at the villains, who had all been watching this in absolute shock. "Now, to deal with all of you."

Yeah, it's go time! Go teach those assholes what happened when they messed with your mare, Flash!

"You bet I am," Flash chuckled, "And itching for some action." He started flexing at this, "Now, which of you idiots decided it would be a good idea to try and kill the mare I love?" The criminals all pointed at Doom, Flash smirking. "Thank you. I'll make sure your defeats aren't as painful as his."

BUSTED, DOOM!!!!

"He did," Flash replied, "And I don't think I can take you all on." He flared his wings at this, "I know I can." As he said that, a flash of light signaled Ruby's return. And she was holding something in her magic.
"Flash!" She threw it at him and Flash barely had to look in order to catch it, Lightbringer's blade illuminating for the first time in six months.
Flash laughed as he held it up. "Armorize!" A tornado of light spun around him, only now it was mixed with some black energy. And when it exploded off of him, he was wearing the same armor he had worn after defeating Armalum. The power he was unleashing wasn't the same ungodly amount he had done before, but everypony could still feel he was stronger than his Shining Guardian form. The Sacred Light and Corrupted Shadow flowed through him, unified in perfect harmony.
"Now," Flash pointed his transformed sword at the group, "Count up your sins." With that, he charged and let out a roar of excitement. Flash Sentry was back and this time, nothing would take him away from his family.

Hell Yeah!

Cue this awesome music!

Flash just chuckled at this, telling Heart he would explain later. And as this happened, two more ponies flew into the room. One was an alicorn filly, who had her father's coat and a coat and tail that was both her parents. The other was a purple pegasus colt, with mostly blue hair with a pink strand running through it.

FLASH AND TWILIGHT HAVE KIDS?!?!

As they arrived, they saw Ace and Mira sitting under a tree together. The pair were in their adult forms, Mira rubbing an egg that was nestled in her lap and cleaning it with a cloth.

Awwwww… Ace and Mira have their own kids.

The Royal Knight smiled as he gave his commands to the guards, all nodding before leaving. At the same time, Ruby stepped up to her apprentice. The older crystal unicorn smiled, only to feel a tug on her leg and she looked down to see a unicorn filly. She was also a crystal pony, but her coat was gray, and she had the same hair as Ruby. She leapt up onto her back and the two hugged as Sombra walked up with a small grin.

RUBY AND SOMBRA HAVE KIDS?!?!

Well, I am glad that you are not done with this series… I look forward the future stories you have in store, I’ll wait.

OH HECK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now this is the ending I was hoping for on these series Banshee, way to pull the wool over our eyes! It was good to see how everyone was doing in the future, having families of their own! Also that was quite the entrance for our favorite Courage Knight, Doom gonna wished he'll be in a real coma after Flash gets though with him!

As for Highlights :

"Let's just say it'll be good to have my royal advisor and friendship ambassador by my side." Spike nodded as somepony walked up to the open door.
"Is that Gallus?" Spike asked, "What's he doing here?"
"Iron thought it would be a good idea for him to spend some time working with the guards. Once he's completed a short tour, Iron thinks he'll be ready to lead them as a Royal Knight."

Good to see Bluebird doing great!

"Flash, I don't know if you can hear me, but Twilight could really use some help." He moved over to take the comic out the box. "And I could really use your help as well." He turned to look up at the sky. "I wanna be able to help Twilight in whatever she needs, but I always had you to fall back on. I don't know if I can be the support she needs on my own."
He didn't know what to expect, but there was no reply, making him sigh. However, in that moment a sudden gust of wind somehow blew into the library. As it did this, Spike felt a warmth flow through him. He didn't know why, but he felt the doubt he was feeling wash away as the words he had just said to Twilight replayed in her head. It was like someone was reminding him of the good advice he had just told Twilight. He was ready for this.
"Thanks Flash."

Still looking out for his little scaly bro, even from beyond!

"Slow and steady," Iron quoted, "Keep improving like this and you'll be a knight before you know it."
"I'm not strong enough yet." Heart grumbled, "I need to be as strong as I can, especially if I wanna take down Doom and the rest of them."
They all frowned at this, knowing what he was talking about. After they had recovered from Armalum's little hatred drain, the villains of the Crystal Pen had managed to take the guards in the empire hospital by surprise. They pretended to still be unconscious, then blasted the guards and used the opening to escape. In the seven months since they escaped, there hadn't been a single sighting of them.

Something tells me they will pop out sooner rather than later!

"Fire Heart," she nodded back, Luster going wide-eyed, as this was her first time meeting the famous Ig-Knighter.
"Sorry for barging in on you," Heart chuckled as he took something from his jacket. "But the past version of you wanted me to get this too you as fast as possible." He gave her a green rock with many different patterns, Luster squinting her eyes at the sight while wondering what Heart meant by the past version of her.
"Thank you," Twilight replied, "I trust that Tragus has been dealt with?"
"Already gave him over to Prince Costa. He'll get what's coming to him."

Oh hey Future Heart, glad you made it back!

Heart leaned back at this with wide eyes while Spike scratched the back of his neck. "Well, you're half right."
Luster blinked at her, only to ask, "So the coronation wasn't a disaster and your friendships just faded away over time?"
"Not exactly," Twilight giggled.
"What's this about their friendships fading and not recovering?" Heart asked, making Luster turn to him with a look of confusion. But before she could ask what he meant, the doors to the throne room flew open.
Luster turned to see an older pink mare, "Sorry I'm late. It was so hard to find a sitter with a sense of humor for Li'l Cheese." She walked into the room and as she did, a yellow earth pony filly with a frizzy pink mane ran in behind her, playing with a rubber chicken. They were quickly followed in by another filly, this one also yellow, though a much lighter yellow, with a mane and tail of purple and white. As she ran in, clearly wanting to play with Li'l Cheese, her parents stepped in behind her.
"Honestly," Rarity sighed, "We would have been here sooner, but you would not believe how busy Yakyakistan is these days." Lightning was beside her and had a foal holder on his side with a white unicorn colt whose hair was the same as his older sister.
"Topaz," Lightning commented, "Careful with playing in the throne room. Don't forget what happened last time."
The filly named Topaz rolled her eyes, "Not my fault the room was dusty. Besides, Aunty Twilight said she would make the room lightning sneeze proof." Lightning shook his head as they kept walking into the room, Luster's eyes now darting between every pony.
This was followed by several more ponies coming in, all flying into the room and were around Topaz and Cheese's age or younger. There were four in total, all being light blue in color with a different mane color. One was red, one was green, one was yellow and one was indigo. They flew around the room at high speed as four older ponies flew inside. "Come on everypony!" An older Soarin cried as he carried his own foal carrier. This one had a blue baby pegasus with an orange mane and tail. "Crimson, can you keep Juniper and Violet under control?"
"And Sandstorm!" Rainbow yelped, "Get down here! You know you're still grounded!" The youngest of the four pouted as he flew down, Soarin handing the foal over to him.
"Here, look after Amber." The colt grumbled as the older Applejack and Rogue both laughed.
"How you two can keep those little terrors under control, ah'll never know." Rainbow and Soarin rolled their eyes as Applejack turned to the rest, "Oh, sorry. We're not the last ones, are we?" As soon as she said that, a portal opened up and both an older Fluttershy and Iron walked out. They were followed by a yellow earth pony filly with a gray mane and tail while Fluttershy was carrying a gray pegasus colt with pink and gray in his mane and tail.
The four looked back and waved at Discord, who handed the filly a packed lunch before the portal closed and Fluttershy turned to them. "Discord's headed to an O&O convention, or he'd be joining us."

Ho;y heck they all have kids of their own??? Also seems Rainbow's ahead of them all, lucky her!

Spike noticed this and patted her on the shoulder. "We all miss him." Twilight nodded at this.
Celestia leaned down to Twilight's level at this, "Why don't we go there? With all the planning and prepwork, you haven't really had a chance to see it since it was unveiled."
Twilight smiled at this and nodded, Celestia summoning her magic and enveloping the group in a bright light. When the light faded, they were now in Canterlot Park. They all turned to see the sight making many of them remember their friend and feel remorse. Located on the spot the treehouse had once resided, there now stood a large bronze statue of Flash Sentry. The statue showed Flash in his armored form, holding Lightbringer up to the sky as if he was flying up to attack something from below. The statue showed Flash in all his heroic glory, which would hopefully last well beyond anypony the knew him.

Quite the fitting tribute!

They all walked away as Twilight stepped up and placed a hoof on the statue, "It's not even been that long, all things considered. But...it feels like a lifetime since I saw you. Spoke to you. Held you." She placed her head on the statue. "Flash...I miss you."
And as she said this, several pairs of eyes in the nearby bushes stared at the sight before them. Storm Blade, Big Score, Rickashay, Boulder, Electra, Banshee, Shake Shocker and Doom Raizer smiled as they hid behind the foilage, "Oh, this is too perfect." Doom laughed as he picked something up.
"How is this perfect?" Rickashay asked, "I thought we were going to blow that statue up. You know, the chance to get back at Flash Sentry by destroying the monument meant to honor him."
"That was the plan," Doom showed them what he was holding. "But now we have a better way. Killing the mare he loves." It was a crossbow, with a bolt primed and ready. "Good thing I acquired this just in case we needed to fight our way out after blowing up the statue. Now we'll use it to take everything from Sentry, like how he took everything from us."

Speaking of stinkers look who just showed up!

But in that moment, Doom fired the bolt.
Twilight barely had enough time to register something coming for her before closing her eyes. She wasn't in the right state to teleport or shield herself, so all she could do was brace for the inevitable end as her friends all screamed.
But no pain came.
Her clenched eyes slowly opened at this, only to hear her friends all gasping and Doom crying out. "WHAT?"
Twilight then saw the bolt, which had stopped inches from her chest. And when she took a closer look, she saw it was surrounded by a strange mix of gold and black light. Twilight turned to the others, wondering if Celestia or Luna had saved her...only to surprise on their faces.
She looked back at the light and stared at it, specks of the light flying off and landing on her. As they did this, she felt something. She knew this magic, and it could only come from one place. "Flash?" Everypony else heard this and gasped as the light began to change.

It might have only been a few inches, but he looked taller.
And as the last of the light faded away, he opened his bright blue eyes before smirking at the criminals. "Admit it," he threw the bolt back at Doom. "You missed me."

Flash always knows how to make an entrance!

As Flash marched up, Grand whispered into Ruby's ear. She nodded and teleported away as Score slowly spoke up. "You...you're actually alive?"
"You bet I am," Flash chuckled, "And itching for some action." He started flexing at this, "Now, which of you idiots decided it would be a good idea to try and kill the mare I love?" The criminals all pointed at Doom, Flash smirking. "Thank you. I'll make sure your defeats aren't as painful as his."

Congrats Doom, you just won the *I'll beat you within an inch of your life* prize!

Flash just chuckled at this, telling Heart he would explain later. And as this happened, two more ponies flew into the room. One was an alicorn filly, who had her father's coat and a coat and tail that was both her parents. The other was a purple pegasus colt, with mostly blue hair with a pink strand running through it.
"Mommy!" The filly landed on Twilight's back, the alicorn smiling as the two rubbed their heads together. The pegasus flew over and landed on Flash's back, Twilight smiling at the children.
"Hey Stardust. You and Streak have fun at school?" The pair nodded as Twilight turned back to Luster. "Alright everypony, get ready. We're all going on a trip."

Aww they also got kids of their own!

But that doesn't mean this'll be the last story that takes place in this universe. I may be writing a few stories in the future that take place between Twilight's coronation and the future you saw.

Well well, color me invested!

Glad to see an awesome bookend ending to this series, with the promise of a few side stories with these characters later down the road, thanks again Banshee!

Holy smokes. Not much I can say but wonderful job on your spin on "the Last Problem". VERY MUCH loved the work going into the dialogue, characterizations, general wrap-up and midquel/possible sequel set-up. Especially loved how you handled Flash's return as well as almost all of the main characters having kids of their own - the only possible exception to my knowledge is Spike, though I will admit I could be wrong about that (and, even if I'm not, well, dragons have a long enough life span [to the point where 100 years is literally a short nap for them] where he will still find his special someone eventually).

And yeah, really looking forward to more stories of this series. The beauty of being past the main series at this point is that you have even more freedom to write the stories your way.

Hopefully, one of the upcoming adventures will be the gang facing THE REAL Grogar (possibly realizing from when Discord tried to impersonate him that it might be better to just use an army of zombies with the sheer numbers to pose a credible threat to even the most powerful heroes [the strength and numbers to be very useful, but with absolutely no will of their own to greatly reduce the risk of betrayal])

And also hopefully another one of the adventures will be a shared adventure with their human world counterparts (plus Sunset Shimmer) in their college years.

And, on another note, the very thought of this crowd encountering Opaline actually makes me ALMOST feel sorry for Opaline. But it would serve that "fire alicorn" right for trying to mess with her old enemies' successors and their families. But, anyway, there probably wouldn't be the need to seal away magic to foil her plans. And the thoughts of Sunny, Hitch, Misty, Izzy, Zipp and Pipp all being students at a future class of the Friendship School is just too deliciously sweet a thought for me.

But anyway, great job on this, again.

Man, everyone that threw a fit at the end of Season 9 must be feeling pretty embarrassed right about now. Very well played man. I admit I felt pretty sad myself at the end of Season 9, but that made this story feel like a proper epilogue, and made Flash's big return feel even more awesome! Our Hero is home for good now and better than ever.

I guess that this was one other good thing Cozy's original plan did for the future. Not only did she help bring the Jakhowls back, she ensured Faust prepared a backup of herself. It's kinda funny really, that she ended up doing more good than harm in the long-term. Flash returning in the nick of time to save Twilight from an assassination attempt reminds me of how Superman returned to save Batman from Deadshot at the end of "Hereafter". It also shows Flash's character, that he only sacrificed himself in the first place because there was literally no other choice, but when given the chance to retain godhood or return to Twilight and his friend he chose the latter without question. Makes sense, since he would much rather live with them than watch over them.

Honestly though, my favorite part of the story were seeing everything in the future, just like from the actual episode. Seeing how the world has changed over the years was great, as well as seeing that in addition to the rest of the Mane 7 now being married, they have all started their own families and have multiple kids. Plus, Rainbow has more kids than any of them! That's ironic considering she originally didn't want any, but I know she'll be an awesome mother. I also loved how we saw even more of the future. We saw other couples now together with kids of their own, like Springer and Mirage, new official Royal Knights, and other characters growing with the times.

I can't believe we've come so far; Happily Ever After here we are!

"You bet I am," Flash chuckled, "And itching for some action." He started flexing at this, "Now, which of you idiots decided it would be a good idea to try and kill the mare I love?" The criminals all pointed at Doom, Flash smirking. "Thank you. I'll make sure your defeats aren't as painful as his."

I find that hilarious, especially since one of the criminals was the only unreformed cultist Storm Blade. Doom is so dead.

"Hey, how'd things go with your mission?"
"Pretty good," Heart replied, only to tilt his head, "But why did you make me pretend you died? Your younger self was pretty torn up about it."
Flash just chuckled at this, telling Heart he would explain later.

Oh... oh... OH THAT IS JUST TOO GOOD! So all this time, the warning that was hanging over Flash's head that he was going to die in the future, was not just misleading, it was a lie that Future Fire Heart was instructed by Flash to tell his younger self. Man, that is a mind-screw. I know there have been self-fulfilling prophecies and prophecies with twists, but I never expected that. Well played.

You sneaky little bugger, you got me good, great job for the rewrite. I know it wasn't the end for Flash and Faust. His return was so sweet but I can help but think how his friends were like "How are we going to explain this ?" .

Looking forward for the next stories in this universe.

Continue with the good work Banshee.

You do know that Banshee stated this is not the last story in this universe?

He said he intends to do future stories for this universe that takes place between Twilight's coronation and the future from The Last Problem.

So expect few stories from this universe in the future.

Are there any plans to continue this setting into G5? I'd be interested to see how Flash and co would handle the chaos that occurred between FiM and ANG.

Hold on. What happened to Wild Smile in the future? He doesn't show up at all, and why is their kid named Li'l Cheese? I mean, Li'l Cheese is THEIR kid, right?

According to sources, G5 takes place thousand centuries after Friendship is Magic.

I doubt Banshee would be interested in tackling G5 since he did stated The Last Problem is the grand finale of the series (through, not the last story)

I've not seen the thousand centuries number anywhere (that's over 100,000 years). I was also alluding to the period inbetween the two, when the Schism occurred.

Actually, it was mentioned within G5 that the timespan is 10 generations, which is roughly two and a half centuries (255 years).

In a dark basement
Ugh its been almost 3 weeks since the ending of the Flash Sentry Chronicles and I STILL haven’t recovered
Notification alert
Huh what this looks at notification oh a new Flash Sentry story… WAIT! A NEW FLASH SENTRY STORY!!!!

IT’S BACK!!!!!

All joking aside I’m so glad that the series is back and that we got a proper finale worthy of the series. Highlights down below:

And all over Equestria, creatures were living in towns and cities that weren't ponies. Equestria had once been a kingdom that celebrated harmony between all kinds of ponies, but now it was a kingdom that celebrated harmony between all creatures.

Hopefully that includes Bat Ponies as well

The throne room had completely changed since it was destroyed, now a pristine bluish white that had many more stained-glass windows. So many events had occurred since Celestia first built the throne room so she had had no idea how many windows she would need. Twilight had fixed that issue.

Is it like the Tardis where its bigger on the inside or it can get bigger whenever it’s needed?

"Is that Gallus?" Spike asked, "What's he doing here?"
"Iron thought it would be a good idea for him to spend some time working with the guards. Once he's completed a short tour, Iron thinks he'll be ready to lead them as a Royal Knight."

Iron kept his word
Also is this before or after he got married to Silverstream?

"Just listen to this story." She let out a sigh, as if a bad memory was washing over her. "It was six months after I had lost the love of my life." The window next to the coronation showed an image of an orange pony holding an orb of light in his hooves.

I immediately think of this song:

Luster nodded, having learnt when she was just a foal about the great sacrifice of the legendary Flash Sentry.

Did you mean to say “learned” instead of “learnt”?

Anyway, the time for my coronation was upon me and I was...well, I was freaking out."
Luster could hardly believe that. In all the time she had known her mentor, she had always been cool and collected.

Oh sweetheart, you foolish girl, if you think that then you do NOT know Twilight Sparkle

"Just because things change doesn't mean you leave everything you love behind!"

It’s been 4 years since the show ended and this is still applicable

"Flash, I don't know if you can hear me, but Twilight could really use some help." He moved over to take the comic out the box. "And I could really use your help as well." He turned to look up at the sky. "I wanna be able to help Twilight in whatever she needs, but I always had you to fall back on. I don't know if I can be the support she needs on my own."
He didn't know what to expect, but there was no reply, making him sigh. However, in that moment a sudden gust of wind somehow blew into the library. As it did this, Spike felt a warmth flow through him. He didn't know why, but he felt the doubt he was feeling wash away as the words he had just said to Twilight replayed in her head. It was like someone was reminding him of the good advice he had just told Twilight. He was ready for this.
"Thanks Flash."

Hey Spike don’t sell yourself short. Flash chose you because he knew you could do it and apparently Flash is still there for you

The pegasi's body ignited at this, propelling himself into the air, avoiding the rocks before spinning as the flames around him morphed into a wheel.
"Fire Grinder!" Heart roared as Grand slammed his hammer into the ground again. A large stone shot out between him and the flaming wheel, Heart grinding against it for a few seconds before coming to a stop.

So. Awesome!

They all frowned at this, knowing what he was talking about. After they had recovered from Armalum's little hatred drain, the villains of the Crystal Pen had managed to take the guards in the empire hospital by surprise. They pretended to still be unconscious, then blasted the guards and used the opening to escape. In the seven months since they escaped, there hadn't been a single sighting of them.

oh that’s not good

"Heart..." Grand slowly said, "You're not the one that's going to capture them. You're still too young. Leave that to the adults." Heart glared back at him, only to see Grand shake his head, "You need to focus on your training. That way when you're older, you'll be ready to take down anyone that threatens Equestria."

Like a certain evil time traveling changeling

"No need to worry about that," Heart rolled his eyes, "Twilight's been checking and rechecking everything every twenty minutes. I'm pretty sure she's gonna end up taking the dust that's in the castle along with everything else."

Oh so that explains why theres a giant dust bunny in the hallway

"Me neither," Heart nodded, "Feels kinda weird, thinking I'll be living in a big busy city." He remembered when he had first heard about them moving to Canterlot. He had been super excited, but that was when he thought he would be training with Flash

Um what about your friends Button and Rumble?

Grand had never seen Heart push himself so much, forcing himself to improve. But if Heart couldn't overcome his loss of Flash, then Grand feared he would turn out like Cold used to be.

Except more hot headed

"Yeah," Applejack nodded, "Everypony's gonna be there to enjoy it."
But as she said that, she saw Heart frown. "Not everypony." The mood suddenly went gloomy at this

Way to kill the mood Heart

"Thank you," Twilight replied, "I trust that Tragus has been dealt with?"
"Already gave him over to Prince Costa. He'll get what's coming to him."

Aww Costa is all grown up I wonder if he and Flurry Heart are friends?

He then turned to Luster and smiled. "Hey there, name's Heart." He gave her a devilish smirk, Luster slightly flinching as she found herself unable to respond.
"Um...Luster Dawn."

Huh well this is an interesting development

"If Flash were here right now, he'd probably be giving a good bonk on the head.

Who’s up for a game of Whack a Mole?
Also did you mean to put “you” between “giving” and “a”?

It doesn't matter how far about you go, you will always be friends.

Did you mean to say “away” instead of “about”?

Grand sighed and shook his head, "Alright, that's enough." They all turned to him, "You can't honestly believe any of that, can you?" They frowned at him. "If Flash were here right now, he'd probably be giving a good bonk on the head. But since he's not, looks like it's up to me. The six of you are the closest friends in all of Equestria. You really think not seeing each other everyday is going to change that?"
"But-" Twilight tried to say.
"But nothing. You don't see Ruby or Tidal every day, but you're still friends with them." They all flinched at this, "And what about the friends you have outside of Equestria. Ember, Rutherford and Thorax. You don't see them a lot and you still consider yourself their friends."
"But this is different," Pinkie cried, "We're best friends! Best friends see each other every day!"
"Flash and Springer were best friends," Heart pointed out, "They moved away from one another and kept their friendship."
"Solid and Gorgenia are my best friends," Lightning added, "Wild and I don't see them as much as we like, but we still consider ourselves close."
Twilight sighed as Grand walked over and put a hoof on her shoulder. "I know it's hard. But this is just how friendships work. You spend almost everyday of your young lives together, helping each other grow and mature. And when the times comes, you go your separate ways and take the lessons you learned together with you. It doesn't matter how far about you go, you will always be friends. Even if you can't spend every day together, that'll just make the times you are together more special."

I like how you made Grand the one to talk some sense into Twilight and the others

It was at this point that Twilight really wished she hadn't taken the Rune Gates down for maintenance

It’s called plot convenience

"That's nice," Spike took out a pocket watch

Did you mean to say “Spike SAID AS HE took out a pocket watch”?

Soul found she had been teleported onto another pony's lap, the mare looking at her in confusion. "Sorry." She got off, while Heart pulled himself out of the luggage rack he had been warped into.

"Well, it could always be worse." Twilight commented, only for the train to grind into a complete halt.
Heart was thrown out of the luggage rack, only to be buried by a bunch of suitcases thrown out with him. "You had to say it!"

everypony looked out the window and saw what had caused the train to stop.
"CURSE YOU SHEEP!" Pinkie screamed.

Alright time to do this the hard way Rainbow cover Fluttershy’s eyes

Also nice call back

Springer sighed and shook his head. "I know it couldn't have been easier. He was your first friend, so losing him must have been hard."

Did you mean to say “easy” instead of “easier”?

"It was," Springer nodded, "But I'm learning to cope. Mirage and the other jakhowls have been helping. Ace and Mira too. But I guess it's just gonna take time."

Mostly Mirage

"Yeah!" Springer cheered with the rest of the crowd as something flew past him. It felt like a wind, but it was charged with an essence that Springer felt he recognised. "Huh?" He glanced back, only for Celestia to keep speaking.

You didn’t think Flash was going to miss his girlfriend’s special day did you Springer

Twilight proudly marched out onto the balcony, the creatures watching all amazed by how she looked. But as she strode, she suddenly found herself tripping on her gown. "GYAH!" She flipped forward, the crowd gasping at this, only for her to quickly pick herself up, "Sorry."

I can hear Flash giggling at this
i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/610/379/7c1.gif

This was gold and had Twilight's cutie mark on it

This sentence might sound better if you replaced “this” with “that”

Over at hill outside of Canterlot, Spitfire was watching through some binoculars

You forgot the “a” between “at” and “hill”

In another part of the Canterlot, Wild Smile was still going over the instructions Gummy had had when he arrived.

You can get rid of the extra “the” between “of” and “Canterlot”

Back at the balcony, the doves and swans were flying around, only for their performance to not exactly work as the fireworks went off and flew around in completely the wrong directions...including exploding right where the Wonderbolts were flying, causing them to go off course.
"Oops," Wild gulped.

Looks like someone is sleeping on the couch tonight

Up on the balcony, the alicorns saw the mess and shrugged, "Hmm...close enough."

Um who said “close enough”, Celestia, Luna or Twilight?

Heart leaned back at this with wide eyes while Spike scratched the back of his neck. "Well, you're half right."
Luster blinked at her, only to ask

Don’t you mean “him” instead of “her” since Luster is looking at Spike

Luster turned to see an older pink mare, "Sorry I'm late. It was so hard to find a sitter with a sense of humor for Li'l Cheese." She walked into the room and as she did, a yellow earth pony filly with a frizzy pink mane ran in behind her, playing with a rubber chicken

Wait what!? What happened between Wild and Pinkie!?

Luster turned to see an older pink mare, "Sorry I'm late. It was so hard to find a sitter with a sense of humor for Li'l Cheese." She walked into the room and as she did, a yellow earth pony filly with a frizzy pink mane ran in behind her, playing with a rubber chicken. They were quickly followed in by another filly, this one also yellow, though a much lighter yellow, with a mane and tail of purple and white. As she ran in, clearly wanting to play with Li'l Cheese, her parents stepped in behind her.
"Honestly," Rarity sighed, "We would have been here sooner, but you would not believe how busy Yakyakistan is these days." Lightning was beside her and had a foal holder on his side with a white unicorn colt whose hair was the same as his older sister.

Rarity and Lightning got married and had kids

"Topaz," Lightning commented, "Careful with playing in the throne room. Don't forget what happened last time."
The filly named Topaz rolled her eyes, "Not my fault the room was dusty. Besides, Aunty Twilight said she would make the room lightning sneeze proof."

Lightning sneezes, oh man hay fever season must be horrible for her

This was followed by several more ponies coming in, all flying into the room and were around Topaz and Cheese's age or younger. There were four in total, all being light blue in color with a different mane color. One was red, one was green, one was yellow and one was indigo. They flew around the room at high speed as four older ponies flew inside. "Come on everypony!" An older Soarin cried as he carried his own foal carrier. This one had a blue baby pegasus with an orange mane and tail. "Crimson, can you keep Juniper and Violet under control?"
"And Sandstorm!" Rainbow yelped, "Get down here! You know you're still grounded!" The youngest of the four pouted as he flew down, Soarin handing the foal over to him

Hmm you know for not wanting any kids I’d say Rainbow is doing really well
It’s also kinda funny that she’s the one with the most kids a few more and she’ll have all the colors of the rainbow

"Here, look after Amber." The colt grumbled as the older Applejack and Rogue both laughed.
"How you two can keep those little terrors under control, ah'll never know." Rainbow and Soarin rolled their eyes as Applejack turned to the rest, "Oh, sorry. We're not the last ones, are we?"

Wait don’t Applejack and Rouge have any kids?

"Oh, sorry. We're not the last ones, are we?" As soon as she said that, a portal opened up and both an older Fluttershy and Iron walked out. They were followed by a yellow earth pony filly with a gray mane and tail while Fluttershy was carrying a gray pegasus colt with pink and gray in his mane and tail.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE I’m so happy!!!
I wonder if they have Fluttershy’s size Changing or bunny powers?

"That is not the point of my story. It's true my coronation was a disaster."

You can change “that is” to “that’s”

Twilight was really tearing up now. "Thank you. For everything." She leapt at Celestia and hugged her tight, the others rushing up to share in the love. They all laughed at this, Grand smiling as he watched.
"Flash, I hope you're seeing this." As he said that, a warm breeze blew past him, making the knight sigh.

He is

"What do you mean?" Luster asked as the doorway behind her began to open again.

NO. FRICKIN. WAY.

Twilight smiled at this and nodded, Celestia summoning her magic and enveloping the group in a bright light. When the light faded, they were now in Canterlot Park. They all turned to see the sight making many of them remember their friend and feel remorse. Located on the spot the treehouse had once resided, there now stood a large bronze statue of Flash Sentry. The statue showed Flash in his armored form, holding Lightbringer up to the sky as if he was flying up to attack something from below. The statue showed Flash in all his heroic glory, which would hopefully last well beyond anypony the knew him.

I’m sad they didn’t fix the treehouse but I think this is a good substitute

The statue showed Flash in all his heroic glory, which would hopefully last well beyond anypony the knew him.

You accidentally wrote “the” instead of “that” between “anypony” and “knew”

They all stood there, staring at the statue while remembering moments of their lives that Flash had had a great effect on. Twilight was the one remembering the most, with one memory in particular flowing into her mind. The memory that had been made in this exact spot, so long ago. The day Flash had saved her from those bullies and brought her to this treehouse. The first night they had spent together and the following day, when Flash had joined their family.

It’s hard to imagine it’s been 7 years since that happened

And as she said this, several pairs of eyes in the nearby bushes stared at the sight before them. Storm Blade, Big Score, Rickashay, Boulder, Electra, Banshee, Shake Shocker and Doom Raizer smiled as they hid behind the foilage

Oh no!

And as he did, he unknowingly let out a wave of malice. It was so strong that Springer picked it up he and the others were standing

Did you mean to say “Springer picked it up WHERE he and the others were standing”?

The criminals tried to say something at this, but Doom just stood up and moved a little out of the bushes, taking aim at the alicorn and locking onto an area that would kill her almost instantly. And as he did, he unknowingly let out a wave of malice. It was so strong that Springer picked it up he and the others were standing. "Huh?" He spun around and saw Doom Raizer, his eyes going wide as he saw the crossbow. "TWILIGHT!" The others turned to this as the princess's head lifted up at the call of her name.
But in that moment, Doom fired the bolt.

media.tenor.com/XJOwGaGZZxQAAAAC/no-do-not-want.gif

Twilight turned to the others, wondering if Celestia or Luna had saved her...only to surprise on their faces.

You forgot “see” between “to” and “only”

But no pain came.
Her clenched eyes slowly opened at this, only to hear her friends all gasping and Doom crying out. "WHAT?"
Twilight then saw the bolt, which had stopped inches from her chest. And when she took a closer look, she saw it was surrounded by a strange mix of gold and black light. Twilight turned to the others, wondering if Celestia or Luna had saved her...only to surprise on their faces.
She looked back at the light and stared at it, specks of the light flying off and landing on her. As they did this, she felt something. She knew this magic, and it could only come from one place. "Flash?" Everypony else heard this and gasped as the light began to change.
It grew larger and spread to the left, forming some kind of tendril. But they soon realized that tendril was actually a hoof and leg as the body began to form. Within seconds, a pony form stood beside Twilight with their hoof around the bolt. A pair of wings soon sprang out the back and when it was completely formed, the light began to slowly fade away. Doing so revealed an orange coat beneath the light, along with blue hair on the pony's head and a blue tail coming out of their flank. Twilight could hardly believe what she was seeing, but then she noticed something wasn't right.
This pegasus looked almost exactly like the one she knew, but there were a few changes. Firstly, the scar that had once been on his chest was now gone. The next noticeable difference was his wings and hooves, which were now blue at the tips and feet. Finally, the last thing of note about him was his height. It might have only been a few inches, but he looked taller

media.tenor.com/ilBQK-HiCEkAAAAC/yes-thor.gif
HE LIVES!!!! AND BETTER THEN EVER!!!
I Like his new look, reminds me of Zipp
Also this reminds me of Sandy’s return from Rise of the Guardians

And as the last of the light faded away, he opened his bright blue eyes before smirking at the criminals. "Admit it," he threw the bolt back at Doom. "You missed me.”

Yeah I missed you, but my aim is getting better

Doom and the criminals could hardly believe what they were seeing, but that was nothing compared to the shock Twilight and the others were experiencing. "Flash?" Twilight asked again, her revived lover slowly turning to smile at her.
"Hey beautiful. Sorry I missed your coronation."
Twilight's heart was about to explode at this, only to leap at him, "FLASH!" She hugged him, Flash embracing her back as their friends ran over, "It's you, isn't it?! This isn't some kind of cruel joke somepony's playing?!"
"It's me," Flash replied, "I promise."
"It...it is him," Springer slowly said, "I'd know that aura signature anywhere."

He did promise you would see him again

Flash chuckled at this, "Faust." They all flinched at this, "I know. I can hardly believe it myself."

media.tenor.com/95ypV5DNXcgAAAAC/thor-i-knew-it.gif
I knew she was still alive! You can’t kill a god that easily

"Oh Flash, you brilliant, amazing pony." She stepped over and placed her hoof on his cheek, "I knew I was right to give you that power so long ago."

media1.giphy.com/media/ZgYBhq1x7L1bW/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e47fgza2e8w0lkxoa100cymzs4bv43wgu9e1z3g1m87&ep=v1_gifs_search&rid=giphy.gif&ct=g

Took a part of my consciousness and placed it inside another body."

Did you mean to put an “I” before “took”?

"Dead?" Flash nodded, Faust laughing. "In a way, I was. Armalum took my power and erased me from existence. It's only thanks to you that I'm here."
"What do you mean?"
"Did you really think that after Cozy almost wiped me out, that I'd let myself be destroyed so easily? After my powers were restored, I decided I needed to make it so nothing like that could ever happen again. So, I made a backup of myself. Took a part of my consciousness and placed it inside another body."
Flash remembered after Cozy was defeated how Faust had appeared to him. He then remembered her going inside of him, stating she was checking him for any permanent damage, "Wait...you placed a part of yourself inside of me?"

That’s basically what Sombra did when he was first defeated, although this time it thankfully worked

"And I'm glad you were able to defeat Armalum and fulfil your destiny. You truly are an amazing pony, Flash Sentry." She pulled away from him and took a few steps back. "And now, it's time for you to make a choice."
"A choice?"
"You can choose to stay here, with me, and help govern Equestria. Keep it in balance and watch as the world grows in the age Twilight and your friends will bring about. Or..."
"Or?"
"Or, you can return to Equestria and live out a mortal life."

Getting some serious Amphibia vibes here

"You can remake my body?"
"Please, what do you take me for? Of course I can. Heck, doesn't have to be your old body. You can make it anything you want. What are you interested in being? Unicorn? Earth Pony? Alicorn? Heck, you don't even need to be a pony. I hear being a dragon is all the rage this year.

Meh,Flash was already a Dragon once and it wasn’t that amazing

"Uh...no. Just my old body will be fine." Flash responded, only to let out a hum, "But um...do you think you can make a few tweaks to it? To make me look a little more awesome than I already looked?"
Faust laughed at this as she placed a hoof on his chest. "I'll let you do the design work. Just imagine what you want your new body to look like and we'll be good. But I will add a little something to it that you'll appreciate in a few years when you and Twilight are older."

It feels like Flash is commissioning Faust to make an Pony OC
But whats this “something” that she’s adding?

"Alright, I'm ready."
"You sure about this?" Faust asked. "If you do this, you'll be mortal again. You'll live...practically in the blink of an eye. And even I don't know what happens after that."
Flash let out a laugh, "I'm sure. A life without Twilight and my friends, even an immortal life, would be empty."

J.M. Barrie — 'To live will be an awfully big adventure.'
Love the Hercules reference
Also shouldn’t a god know what happens after death?

"Sorry for making you all worry."
"Don't be," Grand shook his head, "You had to do it. It was the only way...and now you're back." The others nodded as Heart, Soul and Scootaloo rushed over, all hugging the pegasus, who smirked and hugged the tightly. And when they pulled away, Flash turned to Twilight.
The mare was still crying as she stared at him. He chuckled at the sight, only to walk up and instantly planted his lips on hers. She gasped, only to quickly kiss him back as the others smiled at the sight. When they pulled away, they stared into each others eyes.
"I've wanted to do that for six months," he whispered.
Twilight placed a hoof on his cheek, "Promise me you'll never leave like that again."
"I promise," he nodded, "Faust is probably using me as another backup, but I won't let anything happen that would force me to use it again. I'm staying with you, forever."

Awwwww
I wonder how the rest of his family and friends will react to him being alive

As Flash marched up, Grand whispered into Ruby's ear. She nodded and teleported away as Score slowly spoke up. "You...you're actually alive?"
"You bet I am," Flash chuckled, "And itching for some action." He started flexing at this, "Now, which of you idiots decided it would be a good idea to try and kill the mare I love?" The criminals all pointed at Doom, Flash smirking. "Thank you. I'll make sure your defeats aren't as painful as his."

"Ha!" Doom laughed, "You really think you can take us all on?! You, a worthless gutter rat?! My father should have taught you not to be so cocky!"
"He did," Flash replied, "And I don't think I can take you all on." He flared his wings at this, "I know I can." As he said that, a flash of light signaled Ruby's return. And she was holding something in her magic.
"Flash!" She threw it at him and Flash barely had to look in order to catch it, Lightbringer's blade illuminating for the first time in six months.
Flash laughed as he held it up. "Armorize!" A tornado of light spun around him, only now it was mixed with some black energy. And when it exploded off of him, he was wearing the same armor he had worn after defeating Armalum. The power he was unleashing wasn't the same ungodly amount he had done before, but everypony could still feel he was stronger than his Shining Guardian form. The Sacred Light and Corrupted Shadow flowed through him, unified in perfect harmony.
"Now," Flash pointed his transformed sword at the group, "Count up your sins."

In the words of Bruce Banner:
media.tenor.com/9u33TJ0Hs7oAAAAC/bruce-banner.gif

"Sorry I'm late," he said, "Had a few guard trainees that just would not get the moves we were working on down. Did I miss anything?"

Well he did say he would whip them into shape and I hope there better at their job now

"Hey, how'd things go with your mission?"
"Pretty good," Heart replied, only to tilt his head, "But why did you make me pretend you died? Your younger self was pretty torn up about it."
Flash just chuckled at this, telling Heart he would explain later.

Short answer. To not mess up the future as our previous time travel adventures have taught

One was an alicorn filly, who had her father's coat and a coat and tail that was both her parents.

Um I’m not sure what this sentence is trying to say. I get she has her father’s coat but you then repeat it, did you mean to say “mane”? Also the last part doesn’t say what those colors were.

Flash just chuckled at this, telling Heart he would explain later. And as this happened, two more ponies flew into the room. One was an alicorn filly, who had her father's coat and a coat and tail that was both her parents. The other was a purple pegasus colt, with mostly blue hair with a pink strand running through it.
"Mommy!" The filly landed on Twilight's back, the alicorn smiling as the two rubbed their heads together. The pegasus flew over and landed on Flash's back, Twilight smiling at the children.

We’ve been waiting for this moment for 7 years

"Alright everypony, get ready. We're all going on a trip."
"Really?!" Stardust gasped, "Where are we going?"

Cue the music

No! Not that one!

That’s better

Pinkie led the way through the town, Luster following as they headed into Sugarcube Corner. And as they approached, the doors opened with Pound and Pumpkin Cake appearing, the teenage ponies smiling at their favorite foalsitter while Li'l Cheese ran up to them. The twins smirked at her, Pumpkin rubbing her mane while a giant version of Gummy suddenly appeared beside them.

Wait I thought Li’l Cheese was a boy?

They then came to the cottage home of Grand Hoof. The old pony was sitting in a rocking chair, still looking strong as a mountain despite his age. The old pony smiled at them as the door of the cottage opened with an older Skybreaker rolling himself out in a wheelchair while carrying a tray of drinks. Skybreaker nodded at them as well as they kept heading through the town.

It’s good to see Grand so happy Also what happened to Skybreaker?

They then passed by a hospital, Heart flying up to one of the windows and looking inside. There, an older and more regal Shining Soul was using her magic to heal a bunch of ponies in the room at once. She had a small crown on her head, along with a doctor's coat and stethoscope. And as she finished healing, she noticed her brother and nodded,

I wonder if she and Argo Belle ever got together?

As they arrived, they saw Ace and Mira sitting under a tree together. The pair were in their adult forms, Mira rubbing an egg that was nestled in her lap and cleaning it with a cloth. They looked up and smiled at the approaching group, who nodded back as an older Silverstream leapt out of the pond and change to her hippogriff form before opening the doors. Doing so revealed Starlight and Sunburst, the two speaking to each other before turning and waving at the group before showing Luster Dawn around.

Awww Ace and Mira are expecting. I also wonder if Gallus and Silverstream have any kids and if Starlight and Sunburst are married?

They looked up and smiled at the approaching group, who nodded back as an older Silverstream leapt out of the pond and change to her hippogriff form before opening the doors

You forgot the “d” in “changed”

Trixie was also there, continuing to do her job as the school's counselor and helping ponies talk through their problems.

I hope she and Solid Script got together, it’s a cute ship

Applejack hugged him as another colt ran up. This colt had a brown coat with blonde hair, and leapt onto his mother's back. At the same time, two bat ponies flew in. Both were orange in color, with blue around their necks and the tips of their hooves. Their hair was also blue, but had blonde running through the manes and tails. The pair flew around them, both eating a golden apple as they did so. The duo let out a little sonic blast at this, whipping up a tiny dust storm until their father smacked them over the head, both crying as the others laughed at the sight.

Yes! Applejack and Rouge DID have kids!

In the Crystal Empire, Jaden Chalice was marching through the streets.
The Royal Knight smiled as he gave his commands to the guards, all nodding before leaving. At the same time, Ruby stepped up to her apprentice. The older crystal unicorn smiled, only to feel a tug on her leg and she looked down to see a unicorn filly. She was also a crystal pony, but her coat was gray, and she had the same hair as Ruby. She leapt up onto her back and the two hugged as Sombra walked up with a small grin.
As the three watched Jaden continue to talk to some guards, an alicorn mare flew over. The older Flurry Heart stared down at her kingdom, looking similar to how her aunt had once looked when she first became a princess, but she knew one day she would look like her modern day aunt and mother.

Aww look at how Jaden and Flurry have grown
Also Ruby x Sombra confirmed!!!!!

Everyone there was having fun, with Ember and Flicker watching from atop a large rock. Flicker had a book open, documenting everything he could while Ember could only smile. Her home had certainly changed for the better, and she had Spike and her pony friends to thank for it.

My shipping senses are tingling

At Mount Aris, Wingill, Salix, Tempera and Glitter were visiting Wingill's former home.
Soft Current hugged her son as she placed a bunch of snacks on the table.

I’m glad these guys got a happy ending.
Also totally ship Wingill x Tempera

In the years since Aurarora's return, the jakhowl kingdom had grown considerably under the leadership of Springer and Mirage. The pair were currently standing atop the mountain, right outside the entrance of the underground kingdom. They stared down at the land surrounding the mountain, which had completely transformed since the jakhowls had made friends with other species.
A town of similar design to Ponyville now surrounded the mountain, with many houses and farms that the jakhowls had built alongside the other species. Yaks, changelings and Griffons were also living here, the town able to support its own economy perfectly. There was even a train station, which brought many visitors and potential customers to Aurarora and helped the kingdom grow more prosperous.
As the pair stared down at the town, two jakhowls rushed up to them. One was a silver jakhowl male who transformed into his adult form, allowing him to rush up to his parents. At the same time, the blue female jakhowl leapt up and landed on her father's back. They all laughed as they continued to look out at their home, happy at how well everything was going for them.

From the last of his species to the ruler of the Jakhowl kingdom and having his own family. You earned this Springer

Back in Ponyville, Spike and the Mane Seven were now standing atop a hill overlooking the town of Ponyville. The others had taken the kids and allowed them to focus on helping Luster, the unicorn now understanding this was the perfect place for her to learn everything she needed about friendship.
She turned to Twilight, who finished singing the song she had been giving her student before hugging her tightly. And once the hug was complete, Luster ran off to where a group of other Friendship School students were waiting. This group of ponies, kirin, jakhowls, yaks and whatnot all happily let her join, soon heading for the school as the eight watched her go.
Each smiled at the sight, all reminded of the day they all met. The adventure they first shared going into the Everfree Forest, where their friendship was first formed and the many other adventures that had followed. But now their time of having adventures was over. It was time for the next generation of heroes to step up, and they would happily stand beside them, showing the way and teaching them one of the most important lessons anypony could ever learn.
That Friendship is Magic.

GOTCHA! . I can't believe you thought I'd actually screw Flash like that. I hope this came as a happy surprise. Well, this is the true ending of the Flash Sentry Chronicles.

Not cool dude! i almost died of sadness. But yeah this was a happy surprise and the perfect ending to such a great series. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for both the Flash Sentry Chronicles and whatever new stories you write.

In the meantime I’m gonna go reread the whole series

RUBY AND SOMBRA HAVE KIDS?!?!

Yeah, don’t you remember during Quest of Redemption, it was hinted that Ruby and Sombra still had feelings for each other

11712342
I’m pretty sure this was everyone’s reaction

Also that was quite the entrance for our favorite Courage Knight, Doom gonna wished he'll be in a real coma after Flash gets though with him!

Coma? Heck, he’s gonna wish he was dead

Plus, Rainbow has more kids than any of them! That's ironic considering she originally didn't want any, but I know she'll be an awesome mother.

Rainbow is #1 mom

That’s probably gonna be one of the stories Banshee might write

Wait what!? What happened between Wild and Pinkie!?

Hold on. What happened to Wild Smile in the future? He doesn't show up at all, and why is their kid named Li'l Cheese? I mean, Li'l Cheese is THEIR kid, right? :applejackconfused

Yeah, I wonder where is Wild Smile in the future? Hopefully he's still Pinkie's husband and he's just attending a show or something. Hopefully nothing bad happened to him and Pinkie Pie.

It’s good to see Grand so happy Also what happened to Skybreaker?

Skybreaker was close to Grand Hoof's age prior to this. I'm assuming that he retired at some point.

...Okay, you got me. I'll admit I really thought Flash was gone last story, but you pulled an Uno Reverse Card. Pulled off a Philip in W ending where he returns. HE IS BAAAAAAACK!!!

So, is the reason why Flash had Heart pretend he died to maintain the sequence of events and the timeline?

Either way, its been a good run for this series. All these years, so many stories...and there are more between Twilight's coronation and now.

What a happy ending...

Okay, you got us good! I thought for sure you would play the bittersweet ending, but the super happy ending is just as good. I guess if people want the bittersweet ending still, they don't have to read this story to get that. I'm just glad to see that wasn't the case at all! Thanks for writing this!

awww I’m so glad they did get a happy ending
I’ll be honest I wasn’t expecting this chapter and now knowing more are coming I’m excited. I’m gonna have to come back to this site even if I thought I was done. It’s so adorable that everyone has a family. If it’s not too much trouble would you be able to list out the names of their kids. I think I got majority but just would like to make sure I counted right. Still surprised that you pulled this little trick on us. Great chapter once again.

"Don't be," Grand shook his head, "You had to do it. It was the only way...and now you're back." The others nodded as Heart, Soul and Scootaloo rushed over, all hugging the pegasus, who smirked and hugged the tightly. And when they pulled away, Flash turned to Twilight.

Just realized you forgot the “m” in “them”

You pulled a DOUBLE UNO REVERSE!!! HOW FLIPPING DARE YOU! I was about to pull out my deus x machina and come up with a story involving my Power Ranger abilities. And with what just happened in Power Rangers, it’s not too much of a stretch either.

So, did Spike ever end up finding himself another love interest and someone who reciprocates romantic feelings for him after getting over Rarity or is he forever single?
