Princess Celestia sighed as she stood outside Canterlot Palace. it had been 1 long year since the mane 6, Spike, his brother Spyro his Sister, Cynder and the CMC had been banished by Tirek the centaur. They had gotten the rainbow power and used it on the evil centaur, but with the last of his stolen magic he'd cast a banishment spell on them! Unfortunately for the centaur who I have no pity for, Discord and the Princesses, along with all of the ponies in Equestria had gotten their magic back!
Needless to say they were mad! After the beating, Tirek wasn't a pretty sight and was thrown back into his prison, this time to as reinforced with chaos magic!
It had been 1 sorrowful year of comforting their friends and families, which was kind of hard when she want to break down crying herself! Ten long years of trying to find out where that spell had sent them!
Since then Celestia had forgiven Discord and two other unlikely parties. The solar Alicorn was now married to said mismatching being. She had bore two lovely children. Her Alicorn Daughter Princess Radiance and her Son, Prince Pan
While Luna had developed no romantic interests, she had adopted a young griffon and unicorn hybrid called Moonflower. The Canterlot elite had tried to get Moonflower removed, but Luna had told them if they wanted Moonflower to go, then they would have to beat her in a duel. Knowing the power that Alicorns had they backed off.
Suddenly, Celestia sensed somepony coming up behind her. She turned around to see her sister Luna standing there, but the younger Alicorn's eyes were not on her but on the ground in front of her. "Something that matter? Luna?" Questioned the older Alicorn.
Luna glanced at her sister with a 'you have GOT to be kidding me' like on her face. "Don't tell me that you don't sense it too Tia"
The Solar Alicorn nodded. Alicorn's had a VERY deep connection with nature that told them when something was about to happen. Right now, fire alarms would have been quieter.
Suddenly, Celestia saw something on the ground out of the corner of her eye. It was a tiny orb of bright rainbow coloured light that was in constant flux! Suddenly it split off into nine more orbs off light. They were a dark purple, a bright pink, a light cyan, timid yellow, dark orange, pearl white, neon green, dark purple and black. Before either of the Alicorns could say a word, the orbs unfolded. They were now what looked like magic circles, but very complex! The design consisted of a circle within an eight pointed star that was inside a second circle, both of the circles had several runes within the two lines that made them up, these runes looked like university level math equations. The whole thing was in motion, with the inner circle spinning clockwise, the outer circle spinning the other way, four of the stars points spinning left, while the other four spun to the right.
Suddenly each pillar shot a blinding white beam of pure magic into the sky! They could probably be seen from the other side of the planet!
"That's very powerful magic!" Muttered Luna, lighting her horn, just in case. "I don't find that to be comforting!"
"Wise" Murmured Celestia as she also lit her horn.
Suddenly the pillars died down just as fast as they had appeared. Standing where the pillars once were what looked like hairless monkey's with no tails and a small amount of hair on the top of their heads. After a few seconds Celestia and Luna realised that they were humans! The species from the world that Twilight had visited to get her crown back and defeat the Dazzling's. (I swapped the order of the events around so that all three of the Equestria girls films happen before Twilight's Kingdom)
The first human was female in gender, she had fair skin, dark purple haired that was nearly black and had two familiar highlights of hot pink and purple, finally she eyes were also mid purple, also on the back of her hands was a cutie mark of a hot pink six pointed star, over a white four pointed star, with five other white stars around it. Her clothes consisted of a purple t - shirt, purple hot pants and purple sneakers.
The second human was also of the girl gender. She had fair skin, baby blue eyes and long bright pink poofy hair, also her body seamed to be see through for some reason! On the back of each hand she had a cutie mark of three party balloons, the outer two were baby blue while the balloon between them was bright yellow. She wore a white sleeveless vest that left her stomach exposed, dark pink hot pants and bright pink sneakers, with baby blue outlines and yellow laces.
The next female had lightly tanned skin, bright magenta eyes and long rainbow coloured hair that was tied up in a pony tail, also the ground below her feet had been forested over! On the back of each hand, she had a tattoo of a rainbow cloud that had a rainbow coloured lightning bolt coming out of it. Her attired consisted of a black sleeveless vest that left her stomach exposed, black fingerless gloves and black running trainers with red buckles. The air around her seamed to get hotter, just from her existence.
The next girl had lightly tanned skin, long pale pink hair that reached the length of the back and bright emerald green eyes. On the back of each hand she had a cutie mark of three cyan butterflies with pale pink wings. Her attired consisted of pale yellow shirt, pale pink jeans and cyan sneakers.
The fifth female had pale skin, long dark blue hair that was tied up in a ponytail that reached the to the base of her neck and dark green eyes. On the back of each hand she had a cutie mark of three light blue diamonds She wore a white shirt, a white pencil skirt and white high heels. Coiled around her waist were four belts
The sixth girl had lightly tanned skin with freckles below her eyes, which were bright green and her hair was blond, reached the length of her back and was in a braided ponytail. On the back of each had she had a cutie mark of three apples with brown stalks. She wore an orange shirt that had a knot in it, dark blue jeans and brown cow girl boots, on her head was a cow girl hat.
The next girl had fair skin, long silver hair, yellow eyes and mid tanned skin. She wore a red vest, a black leather jacket, black leather pants and black leather knee high boots with a slight heel.
The next female had darkly tanned skin, wild purple hair and purple eyes. She wore an orange t - shirt, wild purple skin tight cargo shorts and purple trainers with orange outlines.
The second to last girl had fair skin, long purple hair with light pink swirly streaks within it and light green eyes. She wore a white dress that was tied up with a purple belt.
The final girl had fair skin, long red yarn like hair and bright orange eyes. She wore a pink bow in her hair, a white t - shirt and dark blue hot pants.
The first boy had fair skin, golden spiky hair and golden eyes. He wore a yellow t -shirt, a dark purple jacket, dark purple pants and silver sneakers.
The final human was the only other boy within the group, he had lightly tanned skin, short spiky neon green hair and neon green silted eyes. He wore a dull yellow vest, a dark purple jacket with neon green outlines, dark purple cargo shorts with several pockets and dark purple trainers that had neon green laces and they were outlined in the same dull yellow colour that made up his vest.
The first girl stepped forwards, with tears of hope in her eyes. "Princess, is it really you?!"
Celestia was faring no better, only here tears were of joy and relief. "Yes my faithful student, you are finally home!"
Twilight dashed into Celestia's forelegs and started crying out of both relief and joy into her teacher's mane. For Celestia it was a different experience, since Twilight was the same height as her now and the only beings that she'd even met that were taller than herself were Chrysalis and Discord.
Realisation set in for the rest of the mane 6, the Dragon Tri and the CMC.
"YEAH!" Shouted Rainbow Dash as the did a back flip through the air.
"Yeaahh!" Yelled Applejack as she tossed her cow girl hat into the air.
"Finally!" Breathed Rarity.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEER'''''''''''''''''''''RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Pinkie Pie at the top of her lungs as she threw her hands into the air.
"YAY!" Shouted Fluttershy!
Spike was kissing the ground, while his brother and sister hugged each other jumping for joy! As were the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
By this time Luna had come down from the hill and was hugged by Fluttershy, Rarity and Pinkie!
"Its good to have you all back" Murmured Celestia as she dried her tears. "I am sure that you have an amazing tale to tell, however you must be tired from your journey"
Twilight nodded. "Creating that portal took a lot of power"
Pinkie was surprisingly serious for a change. "We'll tell our story, but only once. Since it's not nice!"
Celestia nodded. Slightly disturbed by the unpleasant part.
The ponies and dragon turned human were given their own rooms, but to Celestia's shock they all insisted on sleeping together. Twilight told her that it was a habit that they'd picked up.
Next morning they set off towards ponyville in carriages pulled by several Pegasus guards.
Princess Celestia wanted to keep their return a surprise, but with several members of the royal and night guards having seen them, there was no way that was going to happen.
Derpy Hooves a long ranged mail mare who was based in ponyvile had seen the pillars and what came out. She had instantly flown back home, where Cheese Sandwich the party pony of the town for the last year had been waiting for her. His cheese sense telling him that something was going to happen.
The second Derpy had told him what she had learned, he had grabbed the poor mare and dragged her to the library. Were a memorial was being held as all of the Equestria believed their heroes dead. Some like Gilda and Trixie were their to pay their respects to their old friends. Others, like Discord, Chrysalis and Sombra were their to beg for forgiveness. ALL of the creatures that the mane 6 along with the Dragon Trio and the CMC had interacted with over the course of their lives were there, the Wonderbolts, the breezie's, ponies from Appaloosa, Manehattern and the Crystal Empire, including the prince and princess of said Equestrian ally, even Garble and his gang were there! Also Sunset and the Rainbooms from the human world had come, they were still in their human forms, thanks to a spell that had been cast on the mirror.
All of the ponies, dragon's, shape shifters and the embodiment of Chaos were in various stages of pain and grief, when Cheese Sandwich kicked the door open so hard that it flew off its hinges! "EVERYONE! I'VE GOT NEWS!" He yelled.
Sweetie Belle looked up, holding onto a crying Angel; "Can this wait? We're not all in the best state of mind right now"
Cheese shook his head: "No! It's really, really, really good news!" He turned to Derpy, who had just managed to get her balance back. "TELL THEM!" He practically screamed.
Derpy took a deep breath, before breathing the words that all of the creatures in this room had been wanting to hear for the last year! "Twilight Sparkle, Spike Sparkle, Spyro Sparkle, Cynder Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity Bells Applejack Apple, Fluttershy Flutters, Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle have returned!"
There was a massive amount of silence within the library for about five minutes as every creature tried to process that statement. Then there was cheering!
"I knew the CMC would get them back!" Shouted Diamond Tiara as she hugged her Silver Spoon.
"Nuh! I bet it was Applejack / Rarity!!" Shouted both Big Mac and Rarities father at the same time before they glared at each other, then at Diamond Tiara, before descending into a fight!
"Tell me Miss Hooves" Began Discord as he snapped his talon's, causing the ponies that were fighting to fly apart like magnets that had the same sides put together. "Was their return the cause of those magic pillars that we saw last night?"
Derpy nodded. "Also they're... different"
Sombra raised an eyebrow: "Define different"
Derpy pointed a hoof at the Rainbooms: "There humans like you lot, but they don't have multiple coloured skin"
Everyone in the room was shocked to hear this, but Cheese Sandwich suddenly shouted: "What are we waiting for?! We have a party to get ready! LETS GO GO! GO! GO! GO!"
Instantly every creature ran out of the library and started to decorate the town.
By the time the carriages arrived the town was covered in purple, pink, orange, blue, yellow, rainbow, golden, silver, green, more purple, more yellow and grey. It was also decorated with magic items, party supplies, apples, clothes, stuffed animals, rainbows, gems and cutie marks
"...Why does the town look like a ghost town?!" Demanded Spyro after a moment of awkward silence.
"They were having a memorial to mourn all of you. Somepony most likely saw what happened yesterday and Cheese Sandwich had it adjusted to compensate"
"So where is everyone?" Questioned Cynder, thinking along the same lines as her brother.
"Taka; Eyes of the hawk!"
Fluttershy's hair gained red streaks, a green visor formed over her eyes and magic flowed out of her forehead, become a black headband that held a red forehead protector in place; it had a yellow gem in the centre and across both the visor and forehead protector was the design of a red hawk with its wings spread in flight. The visor only remained green for a couple of seconds before turning a brilliant red. After about half a minute, the visor turned back to green. Before the pink haired girl caused the visor, the headband and forehead protector to vanish, as well as her hair returning to normal. "There in the library" She began.
"Most likely hoping to surprise us" Finished Twilight Sparkle.
Suddenly the pink haired girl noticed all of the ponies staring at her. "What?" She questioned innocently.
"W - W - W - What do you mean 'what'?!" Demanded Luna! "You have no h - h - horn! How on Equestria did you just use magic?!"
"It's"
"A long"
"Story"
Shrugged Fluttershy, Twilight and Pinkie respectively. Like it wasn't a big deal that they were talking in cynic or that Fluttershy had just formed an object out of magic, something only powerful Unicorn's and Alicorn's were capable of.
"One: I hope that you lot will explained once we're inside. And two: Why are you all speaking like that?!"
"Because"
"Its"
"Fun"
Giggled the CMC.
Celestia merely face vaulted.
"Well, lets not keep them awaiting!" Cheered Pinkie as they started towards the library.
Just as they reached said building and Spyro was about to open the door, Luna shoved a wing in his way "STOP!" She commanded, startling the others. "Sorry" she apologized, looking sheepish. "Before you go in, you should all know that something's have... changed for lack of a better word in the last year since you vanished."
"Why do I get the feeling that not one of us will like what you're about to tell us!" Muttered Scootaloo.
"Because you won't" Replied Luna. "As you know Discord betrayed us just before you were banished"
"Wild guess" Interrupted Rainbow Dash.
"Discord remained evil after we vanished" Continued Pinkie.
"And all of his victims are locked up in the hall?" Finished Applejack.
"No to both" Replied Celestia. "Discord is in there, along with your family and friends as well as Sombra and Chrysalis." The Solar Alicorn put her hooves of her eyes just in time.
"WHAT?!"
"CHRYSALIS?! The same crackpot bitch who turned all of my friends, my mentor and my brother against me!? The Whore who pretended to be my old babysitter and my first friend outside my family?! The bug pony who was responsible for the most successful invasion of Canterlot in the last thousand years?! THAT CHRYSALIS?!?!?" Shouted Twilight in rage.
"SOMBRA?!" "KING SOMBRA?! The insane Unicorn king that did nothing but laugh at us from a cloud?!" "The manic that came the second closest to killing us other than Tirek?!" "The lunatic that enslaved an entire empire and nearly killed both you and your sister, before you could use the elements?!" "The same Unicorn that was blasted to bits by the crystal heart?!" "TAHT SOMBRA?!" Shouted Spike, Cynder and Spyro in unison.
"Yes to all of that" Replied Luna. "After the invasion Chrysalis came to us, begging for help. It turned out that her people were dying, which is why they invaded in order to get food. We agreed on the condition that the Changelings gave up their power to shape shift, there now a part of the equestrian population."
Luna spoke up: "As for Sombra, it turned out that when he reformed from being torn apart. He was back to normal" The Alicorn of the moon continued before she could be interrupted. "Back in his early days as a king, he found a dark crystal that took over his mind, turning him into the dark tyrant that you fought."
"... Are there anymore unpleasant surprise?!" Demanded Applejack.
"No, your friends and family are inside, I would recommend that you do not keep them waiting!" Replied Luna.
"Then lets go!" Shouted Rainbow as she slammed the doors open...
To be greeted by the loudest cheers that any of three groups had ever heard!
A practical army of creatures rushed towards them.
"Dash" Began Gilda with a tear of joy and hope coming out of her eye. "Is it really you?" She asked, as if she was afraid that the Rainbow Dash in front of her was just an illusion.
Her answer came in the form of Rainbow Dash grabbing the Griffon and hugging her, while she cried tears of joy and relief into the neck of her old friend.
Gilda was a bit shocked by this display of affection, but got over it and returned the hug, as the rest of the mane 6, the dragon trio and the CMC were about greeting their friends and family in tearful reunions.
"So everyone" Began Discord from a cotton candy cloud. "I don't mean to be rude but, WHERE IN BLAZES HAVE YOU ALL BEEN!?!?!?"
After recovering from nearly going deaf, Scoots sighed, "Its a long story"
"So take a seat everyone!" Instructed Sweetie Belle.
"As we tell our story!" Finished Applebloom.
Once every creature had found a seat Rarity began: "What do you know of the multi verse?"
Clueless expressions was her answer.
She sighed: "The multi verse is a collection of infinite different worlds. All of which are separated by a dimension barrier, each world is different from the last."
Applejack took up the story: "For an example, think of the Equestrian worlds. Some of which are where one of use might not be an element, in some of them the entire group is replaced. In other's Celestia was banished to the sun instead of Luna or both of them were banished. Those are just a few examples."
Now it was Fluttershy's turn. "Tirek's final spell ripped a hole in the dimension barrier and sun us to another Equestria, which will be called the 2nd dimension where we were each reborn with no memories of our time here. To say our time in the 2nd dimension was... unpleasant would be an understatement."
"What do you mean?" Questioned Celestia, fearing the answer.
Sypro flinched, hoping that Celestia wouldn't ask that question. "Me, Spike and Cynder along with Barb, were hatched by Twilight's Siblings, Unicorn Sunset Shimmer, Pegasus Trixie and Earth Pony Starlight Glimmer. Also they behaved like our versions of the three of them before they were reformed, only worse."
Everyone flinched at that.
"It wasn't that bad" Murmured Twilight. "It only got to physical abuse after they became Celestia's Students!"
"PHYSICAL ABUSE?!?!?!?!" Came the outraged roar.
"Shutting up now" Muttered Twilight sheepishly.
Spike took over for his brother: "We were treated like slaves! Given so much work from day one that we collapsed into bed the second we were done!"
"Lightning Dust was my sibling" Explained Rainbow. "Except on the day I was going to do the Sonic Rainboom, she pushed me! Causing me to slam into the ground at near super sonic speed!" A lone tear fell out of the rainbow haired girl's eye. "I lost my right wing that day!" Once she'd recovered Dash continued. "I had to leave Cloudsdale and live as a flightless Pegasus, I went and lived in an old hut, so mentally damaged that I had to live off the kindness of others, since no pony was willing to hire a pony that should be in a straightjacket!"
Fluttershy went next. "I was Gilda's friend from flight camp, often healing her after fights. However she was offered the chance to join a gang. To prove herself she threw my off the clouds with my wings tied up!"
Now it was Rarities turn: "I never made it back from the rock at which I got my Cutie Mark. Instead I was kidnapped by the Diamond Dogs and used as a slave to find gems!"
Pinkie Pie muttered her story: "I was kicked out of my family for smiling."
"Used as a slave by my Aunt and Uncle" Shrugged Applejack.
"Bullied into depression by the school bullies" Added Applebloom.
"Same as Applebloom" Stated Sweetie Belle with Scootaloo nodding.
"But one day it all changed when we were pulled into another dimension rift that sent us to an alternate earth. That's were our story starts" State Twilight.
"CLIFFHANGER!" Shouted Pinkie.
