Fifty years have passed of what Elisa did to keep her children safe telling Celestia and Luna to watch out for each other along with making the other ponies as alicorns. A tree was made that night giving them elements of harmony along with fixing Equestria after Lazarus's destruction. Lazarus himself went away only for a little while and still torn on what to do since Elisa gave her life in order to save her creation leave him forever along.
At the Castle of the Two Sisters, a glass frame was shown of Elisa's sacrifice with it showing the pony who struct her. Celestia looked at it almost every day still missing her.
"Tia? Tia where are you?" Celestia looked at her right seeing Luna coming down the hall, "You're still looking at the acts that happened fifty years ago? Sister, you need to move past this, mother didn't want us to feel sorry over her death."
"I can't Luna, there's so much she has taught me just so I can take the responsibilities."
"I know sister, she has done the very same to me also. Even telling us we shouldn't waste our tears on her."
Celestia even thought of what may also happen to Luna and the other alicorns since Lazarus is still out there and the warnings they were told about. An alicorn with a rainbow mane and goggles on her head came into the room bringing a little filly with her, this filly was too an alicorn.
"Sorry for interrupting princesses. I came to bring you something I think you both should deal with."
This filly wasn't born for not long, only at least a day or two. She was pink with a mane that was a rainbow-like of yellow, purple, and violet as it was pulled back in a bow. Luna and Celestia were shocked to see who she looked like, because how her mane was percent it looking like Elisa.
"Who did she belong to?" Asked Celestia.
"I'm afraid we don't know for sure. We just know they were from the Crystal Empire." The filly stayed behind the rainbow alicorn not want to leave her side. Luna and Celestia haven't heard about the Crystal Empire in a long time, not since Lazarus and the changelings attacked it with causing an endless snowstorm. "Don't worry Little one they're not going to hurt you, they're very nice ponies they're the very first alicorns that were raised and taught from the creator themself."
"One of the Creators." Said Celestia.
"Oh... Right, I forgot about him."
"There hasn't been much happening since the last fight, we don't even know what has happened to Lazarus." Said Luna.
"There are still other creatures being created Luna so he is still around."
"Yes but for how long will he still be gone? He still wants to destroy some of mother's creation, you saw the look he had wanted to kill both of us and now there are more alicorns he wants to do it even more."
Celestia didn't want to believe it, she also saw how devastated Lazarus was when he struck their mother. No longer fighting and returning their cutie marks, "He also not the only one. Other monsters can now do the same as he does."
"Why on earth do you still want to defend him after what he has done and been known for?"
"I would have to agree with Luna Celestia. I know I wasn't here at that time, but Lazarus is still capable of creating and destroying."
Celestia kept on looking at the filly feeling a bit sad still. The fill finally broke away from the rainbow alicorn going to Celestia's feet, "It's alright Sally."
Celestia laughed a little hearing the name she once had from her mom, it didn't matter where she heard it from it made her feel better. "Thanks, little one." The filly giggled when Celestia's snout touched her's rubbing them side to side.
At the Crystal Empire, Sombra was now king but he wasn't the same as he was fifty years ago. He was now completely evil and slaving all the crystal ponies in chains, Lazarus was there too watching him being a ruler and be so cruel.
"I'm surprised you still want to create since what you have done to your beloved."
"What have I done is none of your concern, be grateful I got you this fare instead of killing you."
"My apologies. Just thought someone would completely change after doing that, even returning all cutie marks."
Lazarus wanted to say no more, to him, it felt like miner set back. Though he couldn't stop thinking about that look Elisa gave him wanting to forgive him. Why want to forgive after he wanted to go as far as to destroy even kill, "What about your wife? I'm sure you have done the same to her."
"She is only a sir vent nothing more."
"Is that so? Then how come I heard rumors of a filly being born from her? Never thought you would go that far for some flank." Smirking making Sombra turn away from the balcony. Struct him with Lazarus controlling his magic keeping him from using it and Lazarus picked him up with his telekinesis putting him close to the edge sliding him on the floor of the balcony, "Helping you this fare and you still want to attack me? Now, who's the one that changed when I told them to have a cold heart." He stuck his claws into Sombra's armor along with piercing his skin, "Now think it would be wise to show me who this pony is before I decide to start taking some flesh."
Crystal ponies looked up seeing King Sombra at the edge being held down. Sombra looked at a blue earth pony as her mane was short and covered one eye. Lazarus saw this pony letting go of Sombra flying down to the chained ponies they stayed in fear seeing Lazarus again, he put his claw up to the blue pony pushing the mane to the side showing her full face until he put his claws into her cheek giving her a scare. Turned away from Lazarus she looked back at him finally speaking, "I won't tell you where she is."
"You either tell me, or I'll do something much worse. And it will be very slow, very painful." Still standing her ground, Lazarus decides to brake some of her bones just to get her to talk. Still nothing, he then moved to her organs as they were slowly being squeezed to death. Not enough to kill her just to make her bleed from eyes, nose, and mouth. "Why does everypony want to test my patience?" Using his claws forcing her head on the ground causing her snout to brake and face torn.
"You... Can't stop... Everything that's been... Created."
"Watch me pony. There's nothing I can't destroy." Ready to finish her off, Celestia and Luna arrived just in time to stop Lazarus. Both Celestia and Luna's magic combined to hit him. He moved out of the way also smiling at them.
"Lazarus! We demand you to stop what you're doing." Said Luna.
"It has been a long time has it? I was beginning to think both of you have forgotten about me."
"How do we forget a creature that killed our mother?!" Said Celestia feeling so angry.
"If Elisa listens to what I have said, she would still be alive. Since she's no longer here, no one can protect you now."
"You have done nothing in the past but create for fifty years." Said Luna.
Lazarus looked at Luna breaking her bones too, "Challenge me, are we? Perhaps I should go ahead and kill both of you before killing the rest of the alicorns." The Rainbow Alicorn came to be in front of Luna and Celestia seeing Lazarus for the first time. Automatically attacked him without thinking, Lazarus put his claw up catching the power she thrown. "How interesting. Rainbow magic. To bad it's doing you no good agents me. Throwing it back to her she couldn't move just froze while her power ends up harming her. Lazarus pulled her tord him with her head under his claws, "How many more ponies are going to protect both of you when this could easily end if you just give up."
"We're not going to stand by seeing the first creation of the sun and moon be destroyed!"
He put on more weight having her skull being crushed some. The little alicorn came out of nowhere wanting to face Lazarus. Lazarus saw her and too saw her look almost like Elisa. He froze not able to kill the rainbow alicorn underneath him. Celestia was able to teleport the rainbow alicorn to her and Luna, the little alicorn saw her mother on the ground bleeding to death.
"Momma!" Tears were running down her face seeing her barely alive, then Sombra got involved not letting the filly get to her, "Let me be with mommy!" Sombra just pushed her away. "I want to see her! LET ME BE WITH MOMMY!" Using his dark magic on his own child getting her to stop. Celestia finally snapped striking Sombra and freeing the filly and holding her.
"If it's a fight you want? Then I'll give it to you this time!" Luna and Lazarus never saw her so angry. Sombra turned into a shadow to get away but She didn't let him, forcing him to change back. She put down the filly flying tord him as she slammed him to the ground. She heals Luna to get her back in the fight too, as both used their power to banish Sombra into the ice of the wendigos.
Lazarus was still frozen as he decided to retreat. Celestia didn't want him to try to stop, he temporarily kept her from using more magic flying away. After that, Celestia helped the rainbow alicorn checking on her.
"No your highness, don't worry about me right now. Worry about the other ponies, they need you and Luna's help."
The filly was at her mother's side while she was slowly dying, "Mommy, please. Please don't leave me." She cried.
Her mom had enough strength to raise her hoof putting agents her daughter's face to catch some of her tears, "I'm sorry this had to happen. I don't want anything to harm you, even trade my own life... Cadence."
"I can't picture anything without you."
"You can... And you will." Slowly closed her eyes and hoof dropped. She screams in tears holding her mom's head. Celestia knows how she feels; her and Luna's mom died in front of their eyes. Celestia came closer to the filly telling her it's time for them to leave, but she didn't want to let go of her deceased mother. Not pushing her, she let her be while letting all the ponies free from their chains. They didn't cheer, how could they when this happened before. Only this time somepony end up dying and Lazarus leaving to fight another day.
