FINAL CHAPTER: Mutato Fatum

Everyone surrounded me. I was scared out of my damn mind! Luce had corrupted all of them into thinking I was the bad guy!

“Listen to me! It wasn't me! I swear! It was Luce!”

Lance glared at me angrily, and shot at me.

I closed my eyes, and opened them.

It was all an illusion from Luce Danneggiato! I was still in the tornado with him.

“Finally out of your trance, now are you?” Luce hissed.

“You bastard...” I sneered. I shot forward, he fired his blast of dark magic at me, but I dodged without even knowing it!

I shot my wing tentacles at him. They wrapped around Luce's helmet armor and forced his head closer to mine. Suddenly a razor sharp tongue shot out of his mouth, and cut all of my tentacles off of his head.

I yelled out in pain and forced them back to regular wings. I shot forward and began to pummel Luce chest while he chuckled deeply as he watched me assault him.

“You idiot, don't you realize you can't hurt me? I am the essence of evil itself! You cannot hurt me in the slightest!”

I continued to pummel Luce's chest. I felt like a massive metal boulder had smashed into my side as Luce's armored wing brushed me aside like dust.

“Face it Dorchester, you are nothing! Think about all the trouble I've caused you... I corrupted Luna into kidnapping you! Not only that, but her own lust created by me kept her going!”

“I'm tired of saying that I put it behind me! Take a hint!” I retorted.

Luce laughed. “Not only that, but it's because of me you caused so much trouble in the first place!”

Luce neared his head close to my face. His red slit pupils, and his pitch black eyes pierced my soul.

“You brought Richard into this world... You took away Spark's negative emotions, so that he couldn't fight you, and you broke Peter's guitar... you've done so many terrible things, I'm surprised the guilt itself hasn't taken hold you...”

Luce reared his head back. “STOP THE FIGHTING!” He roared.

The Darkness and Nightmare stopped fighting, everyone faced Luce Danneggiato who was grinning.

I felt my anger boil.

I was suddenly grabbed my large claws, I was trapped! I look to see Nightmare's arms had extended so he could grab me and keep me in place. The Darkness surrounded my friends and reared them close together.

Luce smirked. “I told you I would make you watch as I killed your friends... and I don't break a promise as sweet as this.”

I blasted out of my containment, and speared toward Luce as my hoof was engulfed in a bright light. I brought it down like a hammer upon Luce Danneggiato's face, he roared in slight pain. He blasted me back with a massive roar and opened his wings. Massive flames erupted from his mouth, I was forced to retreat far back until Luce took flight towards Canterlot.

I looked down to see my friends take this small interruption to their advantage, and began to fight The Darkness once again, I pressed downward, taking down a large horde of Darkness and slammed one to the side and against a tree. Saving Princess Cadance and Shining Armor.

“Thanks!” Shining Armor said.

“Think you can handle it from here?” I asked.

Princess Cadance blasted one of the Darkness back and nodded at me.

Meanwhile...

Lance bucked Nightmare in the face.

“I see you're still surprised to see me. You want to know why I fight you all this time? Because you have something I want! Something Luce needs!”

“SHUT UP!” Lance roared. He speared towards Nightmare who suddenly caught Lance in his claws and raked the side of his face.

Lance flew back onto the ground while Nightmare approached his body.

“You never give up, do you?” Nightmare said as he picked up Lance, punching him square in the jaw with his clenched fist.

Suddenly, The Shadow shot forward, knocking Nightmare back and making him release Lance.

The Shadow roared.

“I now see how it will be.”

Nightmare smirked. “Very well then.”

Nightmare and The Shadow ran towards each other, large beams of golden light shooting out of the ground wherever The Shadow put his feet. The Shadow jumped slightly, roundhouse kicking Nightmare in the face, causing him to go spiraling back.

Night landed on all fours, and pounced towards The Shadow. He summoned a large pink fleshy wall to appear, cutting off Nightmare. He ripped the flesh to shreds, but was suddenly blown back by The Shadow's massive claw.

Nightmare clutched his right eye, blood seeping through the wound.

“You're gonna pay for that...” Nightmare hissed.

The Shadow roared, challenging Nightmare.

Nightmare pounced again, this time unexpected. Nightmare latched himself to The Shadow's stomach, and began to bite down hard on The Shadow's darkness skin.

Nightmare suddenly lost his grip as The Shadow began to change forms, and a massive fist like spear came bursting from The Shadow's chest, causing Nightmare to go spiraling back again.

The Shadow curled his right claw, causing flames to erupt him his fist, and his fist dislocated from The Shadow's wrist, black chains holding the fist and arm together. Like a yoyo.

Nightmare took an unexpected blow to the side of the face. But before the first be reeled back in, Nightmare grabbed the chains, and forced them towards him.

The Shadow came flying towards Nightmare, who put his foot out, knocking The Shadow out cold.

Nightmare faced Lance.

He cracked his knuckles. “After I'm done with you, I'll make you watch with your dying eyes as I kill your family.”

Dorchester's POV...

I head-butted a unicorn as he charged at me, causing him to fly back and be stabbed in the chest by one of the nearby guards.

I planned to go after Luce Danneggiato myself, but then I wanted to bring a few friends.

Meanwhile...

Lance held his hooves out in front of him, holding off Nightmare's attack.

Nightmare gasped as Lance began to glow, and was engulfed in a red light. His hooves flamed, causing them to explode. Nightmare flew back, far.

Lance looked at his hooves.

“Okay... you two are still here... good...” Lance panted.

Nightmare held his head and gasped for air, he couldn't move because that blast had blown all of the air out of him. He looked up to see The Shadow grinning and cracking his knuckles.

Nightmare put his claws out defensively and smiled nervously. “Whoa, whoa whoa! Let's not do something we'll regret... FUCK! AAAHHH! NO!! NO DON'T PUT MY CLAW UP THERE! IT WILL BREAK MY ARM! GREAT JUMPING TYTHOL MY ARM! NO! NO NOT MY NECK! GAH! MY BLOOD! H-HE PUNCHED OUT ALL MY BLOOD!”

Dorchester's POV...

After a few minutes of looking and fighting, I found Lance, Frederic, and The Shadow battling a large group of Darkness. I helped them finish them off.

“Come with me! Luce's gone off somewhere, and I want you two to be with me.”

“Right on!” Frederic said.

“Let's kill that thing!” Lance said.

The Shadow smirked and cracked his knuckles.

We shot off into the air after Luce. We found him heading towards Canterlot Castle. He flapped his wings as he hovered over the castle, and brought his massive spiked mace like based tail down upon the castle, completely destroying the top and causing the castle to collapse under him.

Luce lifted his head from his gaze on the tower to notice us coming towards him.

“Ah! The two who Dorchester favorited. I shall have fun destroying all of you! The Shadow cannot help you!”

The Shadow roared at Luce Danneggiato. Rotten flesh began to cover the ruined debris of the castle.

“You are a pest!” Luce sneered. He shot balls of darkness at us while we did our best to avoid them, eventually we all made it towards him.

“Shadow!” I yelled.

The Shadow looked up at me.

"Let's change Fate!"

The Shadow smirked and went towards the rotten flesh that surrounded the castle. He evaporated when he touched it, suddenly the entire castle began to shake. It soon became a massive beast of ruined debris, held together by the rotten flesh.

Luce roared with laughter, and smashed the castle monster's chest with his tail, impaling it's chest with Luce's spiked mace tail. It roared in agony as blood like liquid bursted from it's chest.

“Hush now... it's all right...” Luce said, mimicking Alois's voice from the Amnesia DLC, Justine.

The beast grabbed Luce's neck with one hand, and his wing with anger, and tore Luce's wing off.

Luce screamed in pure agony and pain as blood erupted from his torn wing.

“You fucking piece of shit!” Luce snapped. A massive, demented, demon like hand shot out of Luce's wound, and grasped the castle beast's face and ripped it off.

Luce's other wing stopped flapping as he now hovered over the ruins with magic.

The beasts body raised the wing, and slammed the hard metal against Luce's head.

The castle beast roared.

“Enough of this play! I will end you like I will this universe!”

Luce glared at us and threw the beast at the ground.

“Now it's your turn...” Green smoke began to rise from his nostrils, he opened his mouth and massive green and black flames erupted from his mouth towards us.

Frederic and Lance dodged to the left, while I dodged to the right. But at that moment, the massive demonic hand grabbed me from afar and brought me face to face with Luce. His nostrils began to flare again as he charged another blast.

“You... are a pest... now I will end you personally!” Luce sneered. Lance suddenly shot forward, knocking me from Luce's grasp.

“You are all PESTS!” Luce roared.

I looked at Lance and Frederic.

“Let's finish this.” I said.

We all shot forward, a swirling whirlwind broke between us as we broke the sound barrier in a matter of seconds. When we reached Luce's chest, our hooves ripped through rock hard scales, massive muscles, and tremendous tendons. We eventually burst through Luce's ribcage, and out through the armor on his back. The massive, black, swollen heart of Luce Danneggiato fell to the ground with a large splat.

“NOOOOO!” Luce roared as he fell towards the ground.

I landed on Luce's chest. We met eye to eye for the first time.

“Looks like you did change fate... after all...” Luce whispered.

There was a moments pause as we stared at each other. I knew that Luce would last a few more minutes, might as well find out all the answers.

“Tell me everything. I want to know the true story, all of it. What you did, and what you planned to do.” I demanded.

Luce chuckled. "If you say so..."

“In the beginning, Tythol created the universe that this world sits in. He found that being the keeper of good and evil was too much for him. He then created me, back then I was known as The Balancer. Together, we kept the universe in balance and eventually began to create different worlds.

After millions of years of evolution, I began to grow... tiresome of my duty and began to show signs that I wanted more then just to be the very spirit of evil itself. What truly drove me to insanity was the fact I was keeper of something so hated... so... evil. I wanted to be loved, much like Luna. But I took it in the wrong way, and forced the people to love me. Tythol was forced to step up, and a massive battle took place. We both lost, but I was able to banish Tythol down into the deepest waves of the universe with my power, but at the same time the spell took it's own toll on me and I was too weak to carry on.

Then came the time that Luna and Celestia were born. I wanted Princess Luna to do the rest of my dirty work, the way it worked was that when the world was covered in endless night, I would use that darkness as a way to slip past and finish the job. But I had forgotten how powerful Celestia was as well, and was able to stop her sister before I was able to make my return.

Then you came along... and I was able to corrupt Luna into thinking no one loved her, she found you and took you. I kept corrupting her until she decided to take matters into her own hooves, and made a plan to fake a pregnancy. When the fake child was born, she knocked you out and turned you into a pony without any memories of your past.

We all know what happened next, you nearly killed her when your past self took control and you fled. Only to be fed your past memories and have Luna punished.

Next when Luna invaded your world, making the last attempt to get you back... I realized she didn't care for me anymore, and I left her to deal with it herself. You took the one thing that kept her connection, her half moon necklace.

But then I got an idea... I would end your world, knowing that you would come and take your revenge on Luna. I would use your negative emotions, and use them to rise up. But before you could do that, I know some serious sins must be committed.”

Luce chuckled deeply. “I know every step before you even took it. That hissing voice you heard in your head wasn't Xax/Truth/Corruption. It was me! I was trying to make you angrier so I could rise up sooner.

I sent in The Darkness, to take Lance and Frederic's powers so I could use them to rise even sooner. But of course, I failed. But I wanted to rise up anyway, and you redeemed yourself and sent me back.

I began to charge my energy until this point, along with sending other monsters to attempt to kill you or weaken this world, but failed, and here we are.” Luce finished with a deep sigh and closed his eyes.

“I hope you're happy.”

I waved my hoof. “But what about The Darkness, and Nightmare? What about Discord?”

Luce opened up one eye and smirked. “The Darkness were smaller, lesser parts of me I used to fight Tythol. Discord was my... “replacement” until he grew an interest in chaos magic other then dark magic and took that place instead. I created Nightmare as a replacement for Discord.”

I nodded my head slowly. “I see.”

Luce groaned loudly in pain, closing his eye. “Now that you've finally won... what is it you plan to do now?”

“Live my life, in peace.” I said.

The corner's of Luce Danneggiato's mouth began to form a slight frown. “I think we all know, how you truly feel about your life. If you could, you would redo it all, wouldn't you?”

I changed back into my regular form. “To tell you the truth, no I wouldn't.”

Luce opened his eyes in slight surprise. “...and why is that?”

“If it wasn't for all of this. I wouldn't be living the wonderful life I would be.” I responded.

There was a large, deep, sigh as Luce looked up into the sky.

“Interesting, huh? I guess a terrible past does make itself up. I hope you're happy, Dorchester.”

Luce took one last deep breath, and let it out slowly. I stood on his chest until his breathing slowed to a stop.

Luce Danneggiato, the very spirit of evil itself. Was dead.

Meanwhile at the Great Whirlpool...

All of The Darkness suddenly disapeared, Nightmare continued to roar in pain as his body slowly evaporated. The cage that held Discord and Annabel had broken, and the two held each other close.

“They did it! They killed him!” Cadance jumped in joy.

“But wait... does that mean? He's also dead?” Luna said.

Everyone suddenly became silent.

“Oh my god...” someone whispered.

“Come on!” Bleak yelled, he took off. Soon followed by all the others.

Dorchester's POV...

Luce Danneggiato was finally dead... I had cheated Death, changed fate itself.

“Dorchester! You're alive! You did it! You cheated Death!” Celestia said proudly as she approached me, Lance, and Frederic with the others. I saw Annabel and Discord holding each other...

I smiled.

“It's over...” I said.

Lance smiled at me. He was a complete mess, but if didn't matter too much.

“Looks like we're all done here, good job.” He said.

I laughed. “Yeah, we're all done here. But what now?”

“Live our lives, of course.” Lance responded.

I looked over to see the corpse of Luce Danneggiato. It was all over.

Until...

"No... it's not over... it never will be..."

I turned around to see massive, thin bones of arms, entertwined with veins and arteries.

“Ha ha ha! Luce had a back up plan! But now that he has turned, he left all his powers for me!! I am the xenomorph that infected Luce Danneggiato!”

We watched as a massive, demented devil like creature erupted from Luce Danneggiato's chest.

“Not only that... but I had my own powers included! I am no longer Corrupted Light! I am now King Diavolo! I am King Devil!”

Everyone who could changed into their alternate forms.

"That is what Luce showed us?!" Annabel gasped.

I turned my head. "He showed you King Diavolo?"

Discord nodded. "Yes. He told us about his plan, and if he was to fail... he would pass all of his power to create King Diavolo."

I've had enough of this fucking bullshit! I've had enough of the fights! We're going to end this, right here, right fucking now!

Agreed! Let's finish this!

Once and for all!

King Diavolo was a massive snake skeleton with pulsating swollen arteries and veins surrounding the bones. It had two massive thin bony arms, with large claws that looked like the grunt's attacking arm from amnesia. It had large, sharp plate's on it's spine. Yet it had the skeleton of a xenomorph's head, it still had the large gaping jaws, with the roof of it's mouth lined with snake fangs...

But it's tail was that of a xenomorph... and it had the extra mouth that would pop out.

“If you truly want to restore peace... you must destroy me as well!” Diavolo roared. It spit acid at us, while the tail speared it's head towards us as we dodged the acid.

“Now how the hell do we kill this thing?!” Peter yelled out.

“I have no idea! Yet it seems this is an entire different being! Not a single trace of the actual Luce Danneggiato! This thing just thinks it's Luce Danneggiato, being filled with the memories of his past, and his experiences!” Discord yelled.

“Blessed with the powers of Corrupted Light... I bestow eternal suffering!”

I laughed nervously. "At least I won't die!"

Discord nodded. “That's an upside!”

“Now all we gotta do is kill this thing!” Lance yelled.

“There is a way to defeat it! Luna! We must activate the solar eclipse!” Celestia yelled over at sounds of burning acid.

“You can't be serious!” Luna yelled out.

Celestia looked at everyone grimly. “It is the only way. We need to have you all protect us while we use the same spell that defeated Luce so long ago!”

I nodded.

“YOU WILL NEVER USE THAT SPELL!”  King Diavolo roared. He began to slither towards us, he shot out his inside mouth which grabbed one of the royal guards.

“HELP!” He screamed before being eaten alive.

“Blast him back!” David yelled.

Everyone who could fired a massive beam of magic together at King Diavolo.

It collided at King Diavolo's chest, ripping apart bone and bursting the arteries and veins that went around his body. Blood sprayed everywhere as the beam slowly intensified.

“Never...” King Diavolo hissed. He swung his paw like claw hand, knocking the beam into the sky. He fired a massive wave of sound at us, knocking us. He advanced towards us.

King Diavolo grabbed Cadance.

“You ruined my plans...” He hissed. Cadance's horn was engulfed in a large light, and blasted King Diavolo in the face, dropping her.. Before she made contact with the ground, she spread her wings and slowly fell towards the ground.

“Just a little bit... more...!” Luna gasped as she and Celestia charged the spell.

“YOU WILL NEVER SUCCEED!” Diavolo yelled. He swiped one of his claws, knocking back Shining Armor.

“Shining Armor! No!” Cadance yelled.

She ran towards him.

“Foolish mare! Get back here!” Discord yelled. But Cadance ignored him as she began to tend to Shining Armor.

I shot a tri-beam of fire at Diavolo, causing his chest to split like General Grevious's in Star Wars, and the exposed heart began to burn.

“If I am to die... I will throw this world into oblivion!” Diavolo roared. Suddenly, volcano's, earthquakes, and sudden climate changes began to spread throughout Equestria.

“This is your destiny, Dorchester! This is what I told you so long ago, that you will die here with all your friends!”

I was blown back by a massive gush of wind.

I got up again, my chest was aching. I sure I had broken a rib when I collided with the ground.

Everyone got up again, leaving Cadance and Shining Armor behind us. Me, Lance, Peter, Frederic, Bleak, a few royal guards, Greg, Twilight, and Rarity all fired the massive magic beam back at King Diavolo.

“Keep... it... up!” Celestia said.

“I AM THE SPAWN OF EVIL ITSELF! I AM THE NEW LORD OF EVIL!” He blasted his own massive beam of dark magic mixed with acid at us. He then blasted a massive sound wave at us, knocking just me, Frederic, Lance, and Peter left.

King Diavolo quickly slithered towards us and grabbed me, bringing my face up to his. He slowly opened his mouth, revealing the smaller one inside along with his many rows of teeth.

“SISTER! STRIKE NOW!” Celestia yelled.

“No! He's got Dorchester!”

I looked back at them. “Do it!”

“No! We're so close!” Luna yelled.

“I said do it! If I am to die, so be it! At least it will be for the greater good!”

Luna wiped a tear from her eye.

“Damn it Luna, JUST DO IT!”

“Fine then...” Diavolo hissed. He closed his mouth.

“Kill us both! But I will let you enjoy your last moments together!”

There was a small flash of light, and a portal showing the image of Silvermoon fighting off a large group of The Darkness began to show, Solar crying in the background.

“You bastard! My family is innocent!”

“No one is innocent! Everything, and everyone on this planet will die!”

I turned my head to face the portal. The Darkness suddenly vanished, and Silvermoon turned her head towards the portal and gasped.

“Dorchester!” She said. She noticed King Diavolo.

“You can do this!”

I felt tears fall down my face.

I sighed. “I love you, Silvermoon, and tell Solar I love him too!”

“Dorchester, please! No!” Silvermoon began to sob hard.

There was a small rumble as King Diavolo chuckled.

“You sick monster! You take pleasure in this?!” Silvermoon gasped.

Diavolo grinned.

I noticed that Luna had stopped charging the spell.

“I can't do this! Not while you could die!”

I gulped. “Luna, I know you feel terrible for the things you did. But always remember, I forgive you! If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be having the wonderful life I am living! Or lived.”

Celestia stopped charging the spell and put her hoof on her sister's shoulder.

“Luna, listen to him.”

“If you truly cared, you would do this! I am one out of billions of others!”

Silvermoon was crying hard, Solar wailed in the background.

“Luna... this must be done.” Celestia said.

Lance flapped his wings, floating in mid-air. He nodded over at Luna who looked up, her eyes full of tears.

“This has all come down to this. I have kept my promise, now will you keep yours?”

Imagine the biggest ray of sun you have ever seen mixed with the black light of the night. That's what the solar eclipse spell looked like. It tore away at King Diavolo's skin, until nothing but a large pill of ash was left.

Silvermoon screamed as the smoke cleared and began to cry harder.

I'd play this if I were you

When the smoke cleared, Luna was the first to run towards the massive ash pile.

She dug deep into the massive hill, under she found a messed up red and white tail poking out.

“Dorchester!” She gasped as she dragged me out and held me close.

I was burnt, bad. The scar that was on the left side of my cheek had bursted, blood poured out.

Ash mixed with blood covered all my body.

“No... no no no no no...” Luna cried out.

I coughed out a large amount of ash from my throat.

“You're right...” I said quietly.

Luna hugged me tight.

“No is right... no more destruction... no more pain... no more anger... no more corruption... no more evil...”

I smiled up at Luna as tears dripped from her eyes.

I heard massive cheers behind us. I saw a flash of light out of the corner of my eye, and saw Silvermoon rushing up to me.

Luna looked over to her, and handed my battered body over to my wife.

I looked up to see Silvermoon smiling, tears coming down her eyes. Solar was strapped onto her back and he squealed in joy as he looked out to see everyone was okay. For now.

“You know, after all of this. I've actually sort of learned something, even if it does seem a little cliché.”

“Even if it does sound a little... depressing... I've learned that some things aren't meant to be changed, even if you take it to the extreme.”

“A lot has happened, you know. I've plotted a sick, twisted revenge against an innocent mare who was corrupted by something far bigger then the both of us.”

I looked over to Luna.

“Even if you did put me through hell, I still found a way to forgive you. Isn't that all that matters?”

“In both of our cases, each one of us My Favorite, but then I made The Return, but then something I called, The Banishment took place. I became fueled by Corruption, but turned away from that path and felt Bliss. And you know what?” I said.

Luna sniffed. “What?”

I smiled. “I finally figured out, that everything happens for a reason. Brink is over, the Brink of destruction.”

I glanced over back to Silvermoon, who hugged me. I wrapped my large bruised wings around us.

“Know that... I have always cared so deeply for you. I love you, Silvermoon.”

“Please... don't leave me!”

My wings began to disperse into bright spores, just like Biollante when we defeated her.

“Bring... Solar over to me.” I said.

Solar was handed over to me. He stared at me with his big, blue eyes.

“You look... just like your mother. Take good care of her.” I said with a weak smile.

Solar squeaked and nuzzled himself up against me.

I guess, this is it.

-sniff- it's been one hell of a ride... hasn't it?

I LOVE YOU MAN!

I'M A GIRL. BUT I STILL LOVE YOU MAN!

My wings had vanished, and now my bottom hooves up to my body began to slowly vanish.

“Lance... come here, will you?” I said.

Lance walked up to me, tears coming from his eyes.

“Try not to get your ass kicked so hard next time, won't you?”

Lance smiled weakly, wiping a tear from his eye. “I'll try.”

My bottom hooves had completely vanished. Solar still nuzzled himself on my chest.

“Frederic... Luna...” I said.

The prince and princess walked over to me.

“Princess Luna... Prince Frederic...” I said.

“Are you two happy?” I asked.

They both nodded.

“Show me, then.”

Frederic put his hoof around Luna, she nuzzled her face against Frederic's neck and they both kissed.

“That's enough for me.” I said.

“Silvermoon.” I said.

“Yes?” Silvermoon said.

Half of my chest had vanished. My upper body was all that was left.

“I love you, Silvermoon. Now tell me, what is your full name?”

“Sarah Goodmen.” She said.

“My name... is Ryan... Ryan Leon.”

Sarah ran up to me, and wrapped her arms around me and began to sob hard.

“I love you too, Ryan! I will always love you!”

“That is something... I know you won't forget.”

Solar fell off of me as my chest vanished. He began to whimper.

“Goodbye... Ryan...” Sarah said.

“No... don't say goodbye.”

My neck vanished.

“Say... farewell, see you later. Because one day, we'll see each other before you know it.”

I turned my eyes and winked, because my mouth had vanished.

A final tear fell from my eyes, before I vanished for the last time.

Forever.

EPILOUGE...

A large party was thrown to celebrate the final victory against Luce Danneggiato, against evil itself.

King Horus returned to Canterlot soon after to give everyone who participated in the final battle a large medal of honor.

The Shadow now roams Tartarus, and was crowned the new keeper of evil. I received a letter by The Shadow saying that he will keep things in balance, and will not become corrupted by his new amount of power. He was also able to get the orbs back as well, and now has the ability to speak.

Discord and Annabel got married, and had two children named Ying and Yang.

Bleak became the new head of the royal guards after Shining Armor was forced to step down until he has recovered from his injuries that will not fully heal for the next few weeks, he will make a full recovery and was not phased after the battle.

Twilight and Lance now live their regular lives, expecting a new foal in a few months.

Rainbow Dash and David had their twin's eight months later.

Vinetion got her powers back soon after returning to the site of Luce and Diavolo's death.

Canterlot Castle was rebuilt and repaired with the help of many unicorn's magic.

A large monument was built, with a large statue of Dorchester made out of pure gold standing over a large, gold, recreation of Luce Danneggiato's corpse. Smaller statues of Silvermoon, Frederic, Lance, Bleak, several royal guards, Cadance, Shining Armor, The Mane Five, Twilight...

and Solar...

all stood behind Dorchester. Who was grinning high, with cuts all over his body.

A large golden plate was nailed onto the front of the statue's base, with small carvings that showed the most important words that kept Dorchester going.
