Return of Evil and A New Beginning

After this explosion, Dante was lying down unconscious. Next to him was the Elements of Harmony. They have been repaired. "Dante, Dante, are you alright?" Celestia asked Dante. Dante got up. “Wh-What happened?" he asked. Celestia looked into Dante’s eyes “Dante, your eyes” she said. “What’s wrong with my eyes” Dante asked as he panics. “They’re not black and red. They’re normal.” “Define normal” Dante said. “Well, they’re green. And I don’t sense evil within you” Celestia said. She turns to look at the elements. "Look, the elements, they've been repaired."

"Whoa" Dante picks the elements up and observes them. "They must have used my evil to fix themselves."

"I hope this whole ‘elements absorbing my evil’ thing doesn't affect my shadow powers." Dante shadowported behind Celestia. "Nope."

Celestia turns around and walked past Dante "Come on, if the elements have been repaired, then that must mean that Twilight and her friends must have awakened from their coma. Grabs the elements and let's get out of here.” Dante grabs the elements, climbs on Celestia's back, and they fly off.

Back at Canterlot Hospital, the Main Six wake up from their comas. "Ah good, all of you are awake." Celestia said. Flash ran up to Twilight to give her a big hug. “Oh Flash, you never left my side didn’t you” Twilight asked.

“Not even for a second” he responded before they kiss.

"Celestia, what happened, has Discord been defeated?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, my dear. He's been defeated, destroyed, and we won't have to worry about him causing destruction ever again."

"Destroyed?" Applejack asked.

"Yes, destroyed, thanks to him." After Celestia finishes her sentence, Dante walked in to the room.

"Who are you?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"The name’s Dante. You've never heard of me?"

"Yes, you are an elf who has teamed up with Celestia to defeat Discord, then betrayed her afterwards." Twilight said.

"Yep, and history kind of repeated itself. Except the whole betraying thing. Because I am now on your side."

"Seriously?" Twilight asked.

"Seriously. Now let's get out of here. I can’t stand hospitals. The tools they use scare me with all those needles.”

The six ponies get out of bed and along with Flash, Celestia, and Dante walked out of the hospital room.

That day, the four princesses have organized a celebration in honor of the fallen and to give thanks to Dante for defeating Discord. "We are gathered here to honor the decease, which have fallen from Discord's invasion teaming up with the changelings." Celestia exclaims. "But we are also here to give thanks to one who has defeated Discord long ago. Only this time, he has not betrayed us. In fact, he is now one of us. I hereby welcome, to the royal guard, Dante." Everypony cheers as the doors open up, but silence when Dante isn't on the other side of the threshold. Everypony looked around in confusion wondering where Dante was at. Dante phases through the wall "Hey kids, wanna see a dead body?" Dante yelled, scaring all of the ponies in the room except Celestia.

Dante laughed "Even though I'm not evil, that is still funny." Celestia smiled "We all thank you for your bravery, Dante. And we give you these as a way to say thank you." Spike walked up to Dante with his weapons. “Hey, you’ve repaired them” Dante exclaimed. “Yes” Celestia said “But they are now different” Dante observed the weapons “Oh cool, the Royal emblem” he said. “Yes, you are now part of the royal guard” Celestia said. "Thanks princess." Dante said “So now that I am free, will I have a place to crash?” Twilight walked up to Dante “You can hang out with us at Ponyville.” “Sounds great, I would love.” Dante said in happiness.

"But" Celestia started "you have to stay here for a month for training into the royal guard."

Dante pondered for a minute "Meh, a month ain't that bad."

"We have a room already prepared for you" Cadence said "Just follow us and we'll" she snickers "we'll lead you to it."

Dante wondered why she was snickering and trying to hold back from laughing, but shrugged it off and followed her.

Later that day, Princess Cadence, along the Main Six walk down the hallway with Dante, leading him to his room “Wow” Dante said “This place looked better than when King” he pauses for a second “Sombrero ruled.” “You mean, Sombra” Applejack said. “Sombra, sombrero, same difference” Dante responded. “So, you remember back when he did rule?” Cadence asked. “Yep, and this place looked horrible. Seriously, he was a pig. Trash everywhere” he points to one of the walls “Some weird stuff hanging from that wall over there” he points to a corner “Rotten food piled in that corner. Yeah, it was awful.”

They walk into a rotunda and Dante stops to look around the room. “Wow” he said “This room is very round.” They continue walking until they walk up to two doors leading into Dante’s room. The eight ponies stop a couple feet away from the doors as Dante was still walking and steps in front of the doors. “So, there’s your room” Rainbow Dash said as the group was trying to hold from laughing. Dante looked at the ponies with a confused look on his face. “I don’t know what everypony’s deal is.” Dante opens the doors “It’s just a” Dante looked in the room when suddenly, Princess Luna, disguised as Nightmare Moon, jumped out at Dante and screams.

Dante got scared and jumped back a couple of feet. Luna turns back into her original form and starts laughing with the group at Dante. Dante was breathing heavily from the fright he has experienced. He looked at everypony “What was the reason for that” he asked. “That was for scaring everypony during the ceremony” Luna responds as the group was still laughing. Dante then realizes “This pranking thing won’t end will it” he asked with a straight face. “I hope you all realize that I will get” he points to Luna “you back for this.” “Oh, so this is now a prank war” Luna said. “Yes and you will not expect what’s coming to you” Dante said.
