~~~~One Thousand Years Later~~~~

Luna was sitting on a balcony in Canterlot, looking up at her moon. She had made it a habit, to remind herself of what had happed. Its been a long thousand years, and a lot had changed. Such as her sister almost beating modern language into her head, although she slipped from time to time, almost like a verbal tick. The two sisters had moved from they're old castle, to a new one that they had build up on a mountain, Canterlot Mountain, as its know as now, since they decided to build a city around it. Magic held it up, old, yet powerful magic.

Another change that happed, was one that started almost nine hundred years ago, she grew a bit taller, now being about the same height as her sister, albeit a few inches shorter still. According to Starswirl, since he investigated it as well, it was cause from a significant amount of evil energy. How he came to that conclusion eluded the princesses, as they never told anypony about Nightmare Moon. The two sisters had since grown closer together as siblings. They still had they're squabbles, but mostly out of fun. The biggest change was that of Celestia's entire outlook. She realized that she had been taking ponies and other creatures at face value, not allowing any trust to be formed. She had changed almost overnight, and as such Luna thought it was a trick. But Celestia had yet to waver, even in the full thousand years, she had become more forgiving, kinder, and generally a good ruler. That soft demeanor was what she was was known for now.

Luna on the other hand, had become somewhat of a shut-in. Not leaving the castle unless explicitly told to do so by her sister. Her depression had never fully gone away, but with her sister telling her that it was only a matter of time, she slowly got over the most of it. Looking at the moon reminded her of her long lost beloved. She still blushed when she thought to how they're relationship started, however fast it came and went, it was still magical to her. Like something from a Foal's Story. The blush soon faded away however, when she remember that banishment was a long time to be alone, her beloved could have forgotten her, or even gone insane. That other side of his, Terumi, could make that a very real scenario. She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts as her sister walked onto the balcony.

"Tomorrow, the stars align tomorrow Tia. They will force open the banishment earlier than scheduled." Luna said to her sister.

"Oh dear Lulu, I've already sent Twilight to Ponyville. The Tree of Harmony says that the elements will never fail to attract each other." Celestia said, as she nuzzled her sister. Luna looked at Celestia with concern.

"Do you think he will be okay?" Luna asked softly. Celestia stopped nuzzling her sister to look her into the eyes.

"I believe that there isn't anything the elements cant take care off, and if they cant, he has you. I'm sure his feelings for you haven't faded." She said resolutely. Luna nodded at her words, a small smile formed on her lips, as she looked to the moon once more.

"I certainly miss him.." She said softly.

-----Ponyville, The Next Day----

"Come on Spike! We have to check on the party workers!" A Purple unicorn, with Lavender hair called to a small Purple Dragon with Green spikes jutting from his back.

"Jeeze Twilight, calm down, we have all day!" He said tiredly. They had been running around since dawn fixing up her plans for the party. That is, until she remember the other ponies who were supposed to help.

"Hiya!" A bubbly voice called from behind the duo, causing them to jump. Twilight held a hoof to her heart, as she calmed her breathing. "My names Pinkie Pie! But all my friends call me Pinkie! Do you like parties? I heard you talking about parties, so I jumped over here as fast as I could. Is the party soon? Oooh! What kind of cake is there?!" The Pink Earth pony, with pink cotton candy like hair, rambled out faster than most could keep up with. Twilight was inching farther away from her the more she talked. Until the name rang a bell.

"Did you say your name was Pinkie pie?" She asked, bringing out her list.

"Yupperooni!" Pinkie replied with a big grin. She was currently bouncing on all four hooves at once, almost like a spring. Twilight faltered for a second when she saw this, but continued to do her job regardless.

"Oh good! I'm here on behalf of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, to check on the confections you would be serving at the Summer Solstice Jubilee." She stated with a quill ready to write, hovering with her magic.

"Oh, I don't know yet, I'll know by tonight!" The Pink pony replied happily. The sound of a quill dropping caused Pinkie to stop bouncing for a second. Before Twilight could say a word, she saw the Pink pony Twitch a bit. "Uh-oh, Twitchy back, gotta go!" She said as she vanished into a cloud of smoke trailing down the road. Twilight's jaw was hanging open, as she watched the smoke disperse into the air. After taking a deep breath to stabilize herself, she grabbed her stuff from the ground. With a huff she started walking around again. Luckily she had been rather close to her first stop in the first place. A boutique stood in front of her, with a sign that read 'Carousel Boutique' And knocked on the door. Instantly she heard the voice of a mare ring out.

"Be there in a second!" The voice said.

"Oh wow, that voice sounds cute.." Spike muttered to himself. A White unicorn mare with purple hair fluffed into perfect curls opened up the door.

"Are you Rarity?" Asked Twilight, quill yet again ready.

"Yes, yes, come in, come in!" The White mare ushered them both in the front door, and closed it behind them. "Oh dear, look at your hair! That stripe will never do!" Rarity darted over to a box and started to take thing out. Different dyes, and various hair accessories went flying out of the box.

"Um, ok. I'm here on Behalf of-" Twilight started, but was interrupted as a bottle of dye floated next to her head.

"No, not that one, maybe.. No, definitely not a Summer." Rarity was mumbling to herself, as she pulled out a pair of big scissors. Twilight gulped, as she rushed for the door.

"Nope! Come along spike we have places to be!" She yelled, as she picked up Spike with her Lavender magic. Dismissing the hearts he had in his eyes.

They ran, and ran until Twilight ran out of energy. She stopped near a cottage, where she saw a swarm of animals huddled around a pale Yellow Pegasus with bright Pink hair, as she was clearly giving out food to each one with a small but vibrant smile. As Twilight approached, the animals all scurried off.

Wait, come back! Her soft voice could barely be heard. When she turned around to see what had scared her friends, she jumped at the sight of the two. Mid-jump she rocketed back into her cottage, the sounds of locks being used were heard.

"W-wait! I'm Twilight, and this is Spike, my baby Dragon, I'm here on behalf of the-" That was as far as she got, as the Yellow Pegasus had flown through the door she could have sworn was locked. She proceeded to cuddle up to Spike, and coo at him like one would a small animal. Twilight's eyebrow twitched, at the sight of another crazy pony. Sighing to herself, she decided to go for the next one on the list.

Twilight looked everywhere, but she couldn't find the Pegasus she was looking for. Everyone told her the same thing, that she couldn't miss her. She didn't understand it, and her frustration was at its breaking point. Not only could she not find this pony, but she couldn't get the Yellow pony to let go of Spike. She had learned from the various townsponies, that her name was Fluttershy, and that she was the rather soft spoken Veterinarian of Ponyville. That explained Spike, not too many baby dragons wander through here, she could only assume.

"Where is she?!" Twilight yelled in frustration, as she let loose a small bolt of magic at the sky. When a yelp of pain made itself known in the sky, her eye's widened. Out from a cloud came a Blue Pegasus mare with a rather Prismatic hair color. Twilights ears splayed back, as she went to apologize. "I'm so sorry-" Once again being interrupted.

"What the big idea! You wanna pick a fight?" The scratchy, yet feminine voice called out to her.

"I'm sorry! I was looking for a Rainbow Dash, and-" And once again, interrupted.

"Oh, well you found her! Fastest flier in Equestria! You want my autograph?" She said cockily, fluffing up her chest and spreading her wings in a boasting manner.

"No, sorry." Twilight said bashfully. "I'm here on behalf of the Princesses to check on the weather management. Why aren't you doing your job?" She asked casually, quill at the ready.

"Oh these little guys?" Rainbow pointed to the few clouds in the sky blocking some of the sun. "That'll take me ten seconds, flat." She boasted again. Twilight looked sceptic.

"Yes.. Those clouds. According to the weather schedule, todays supposed to be clear." Twilight said with a tick appearing on her forehead at the lazy Pegasus's response.

"Fine! I'll take care of them! Time me, ready, Go!" Rainbow zipped of, causing a gust of wind. Twilight could only gasp as she watched Rainbow zoom through each cloud in the sky, erasing them in seconds. Landing in a boastful stance, she asked, "How did I do?"

"..8.. Seconds.." She stood baffled at the speed.

"Yes! 20 percent cooler! Cant get better than me!" She boasted again, while flying away. Snapping Twilight out of her trance. "Wait!" She called out, only to see no trace of the Pegasus. Her hair started to frazzle, as her eyebrow twitched. She made her way to the Library, as it was the only place she could go to think.

Upon entering the Library she jumped onto the old couch, and screamed into a cushion.

"These ponies are all insane! Each and every one of them!" She screamed franticly. "What am I supposed to tell the Princesses?" She muttered in despair. She trudged over to the desk closer to her and begun her report. Hopefully the party would be ok..

----That Evening----

Both Princesses were in they're royal garb, as most ponies bowed before them. Twilight was also in the crowd, closer to the front, so her Mentor could see her. Her letter had been sent, and Celestia had told her it would be fine. Twilight didn't really believe that would be the case, but she had other things on her mind. even though the sun would be setting soon, with the two Princesses leading they're stars personally, something felt off. As the Princesses flew into the air, they had only gotten half way through the process when a Green glow shone through the exceeding darkness. The sun lay on the left half of the sky, while the moon lay in the right. Suddenly the Green glow, vanished, only to have a bright flash of deep Green to appear on the very same stage the Princesses just left from..

Minutes Ago: Inside the Everfree Forest

A slight flash of Green energy, and there stood a figure dressed in mostly black. Standing on two legs, he looked around.

"Hoh! Where back huh?" The figure spoke.

"It took long enough, don't you think, Dearest? A feminine voice echoed around the figure. A smile pulled at his lips.

"Lets go say 'Hi' Shall we?"

The Celebration

The Green flash dissipated quickly, and in it stood a figure that most didn't recognize right away. It was the Dark Green energy floating around the figure that caused the mayhem that ensued.

"The Green Demon! Its real! Run!" A few ponies screamed out, while others just screamed as they ran. The whole place was a mess of ponies rushing to get out. The figure stood calmly, as if soaking it all in.

"Hazama!" Celestia's voice called out to the figure. Hoping against everything, that it was the man from before.

"Jesus fucking Christ, a Thousand years, and you still cant tell the difference?" His snarky response was what made Luna almost fall out of the sky. Celestia calmly took in the mans features. His usual black attire, but two things were wrong. One, was that he clearly had some kind of Yellow Hooded cape of some kind wrapped loosely to his torso. The second, was the lack of hat on his hat, instead, his vibrant Green hair stood on end. This was Yuki Terumi, Hazama's alternate persona.

"Terumi.. I ask this once. Please give us back Hazama." Celestia said calmly. A smirk appeared on Terumi's face.

"Cant do that, sorry. Even if I wanted to I couldn't. His mind faded away some five hundred years ago. He did great, keeping me from taking control, And honestly, if it was up to just that, he wouldn't have lost. However, a thousand years is a long time for a voice in the back of your head to whittle down everything you've believed in." He stated, like it was common knowledge.

"You don't mean.." Celestia's eyes widened.

That is correct, Dear sister A voice sounded from Terumi's surroundings. Luna and Celestia's eyes widened even further as Terumi's shadow twisted and rose from the ground. Forming the shape of Nightmare Moon.

"How does it feel to be back, love?" Terumi's voice called to Nightmare. She trotted to Terumi, and nuzzled his cheek, ending in a small, but passion filled kiss.

"Fantastic! I can feel my magic returning to me at last, my Dearest. Nightmare's show of affection was all that was needed to snap Luna from her daze. Luna's fur bristled with her anger, as she flared her magic. Celestia on the other hand, took it upon herself to summon a small quill and paper set. After scribbling something quickly, she sent it away with Dragon Fire. It appeared in front of Twilight, as the rest of the ponies left the immediate area. Twilight read the note, nodded and left with no hesitation. The note fluttered to the ground as she ran off.

The note read simply:

Twilight
Elements
Everfree
Hurry

She missed the smile on Celestia's face as she watched a few extra ponies follow her student out of the town. Celestia looked back towards Terumi and Nightmare. Her heart wept on the inside. She had been the cause of this. According to Terumi, Hazama's own personality faded away. But if she remembered correctly, from what she heard from the two conversing before, one could not live without the other. She knew Hazama was in there somewhere, she just needed to figure out how. As she joined Luna in charging up her magic and preparing for battle, she couldn't help but remember another thing from the past. Even as Nightmare, Luna's touch helped Hazama regain himself. Maybe, if they could get close enough, simple touches could help. They would have to see. Her thought process was de-railed when Terumi turned to Nightmare.

"Go get em'. Nothing stops us." He said.

"Of course Nightmare suddenly sank into the ground and shot into the woods. That was bad, Nightmare, however weak she may be, will be a tough fight for Twilight. She believed in her student, as for right now, she needed to stall Terumi.. And not die.

"Lets try out some of my new powers!" He said with a gleam in his eye's as his energy swirled around himself.

----With Twilight----

"Manticore!" Twilights shout stopped everypony else in their tracks.

"Should I beat it up?" Rainbows voice called from above, she looked ready to zoom in at a moments notice.

"Ah think it would be the one ta beat you up, sugarcube" A southern accent called to Rainbow. This was Applejack, an Orange Earth pony that had followed them into the forest to help protect the town.

"Uh, girls? I think I can help."

ROAR!!!

"I don't know that many attack spells!" Cried a frantic Twilight, while Rarity looked ready to pass out.

"Ah can buck it where the sun don't shine." Said Applejack.

"Girls!" Even though it was slight, the slight increase in Fluttershy's voice caught everyponies attention. They watched in awe as Fluttershy trotted up to the Manticore. It roared in her face, but she didn't even flinch. She sweet talked it into giving her it's paw. When she had ahold of it, she plucked a splinter out of its paw. It immediately started licking her face happily.

"How did you know?" Asked Twilight.

"Sometimes, you just need to give a little Kindness" Was all she said before she hid behind her mane. A look of confusion on Twilights face, they continued.

----Back to the Princesses

"You sure are persistent!" Terumi called out. Luna fired more magic beams at him, only for him to flash away about five feet. While Celestia had been trying to calm her down, while deflecting his strange energy attacks.

"Come on Luna! Calm down!" She called to her sister.

"I'll kill him! He took away my beloved!" She seethed. Celestia sighed, at least Terumi wasn't really trying to cause harm yet. She wondered why..

---Back to the Girls---

"Why are the tree's laughing!? Why is Pinkie laughing?! Why am I Laughing?" Twilight called out in-between gasps for air.

"Laughter is fun, silly billy! When you laugh, Everypony else want to laugh too!" Pinkie spoke while clearing the way through the forest for them. Twilight sighed in confusion, but she had a smile on her face. Her new friends were proving to be really fun.

----With Celestia and Luna----

"I've got it!" Cried out Celestia. Luna stopped chasing Terumi, and stopped next to her sister, panting slightly.

"Got what, Tia?" She asked.

"I know why he wont attack you! He's afraid of you! In order to really hurt us, he needs to physically touch us, and in doing so he's afraid you might wake up Hazama!" Celestia spoke with a smile.

"Something like that.. You wanna try it?" Terumi interrupted with a wicked smile on his face. Luna teleported to Terumi's current location, and threw herself on top of him. His grunt of discomfort and confusion caused a sweat drop to form on Celestia's neck. Why wasn't he taking this seriously. Was it because he thinks he can win? That arrogance will win this fight for her, all this waiting is good. The Elements would take a while to get.

----With Twilight----

They had just passed a river where Rarity had given her tail to a Water creature. I know, sounds crazy. Apparently, it had a full mustache until recently, and as such, was devastated when it realized it was missing half of it. Rarity, unable to let such a fashion problem go, selflessly cut her own tail off, and tied it to its mustache to fill it out. She was a bit shaky after, but she got over it. Now they were waiting for Rainbow to come back from across the bridge. They heard the conversation on the other side, where two Shadowbolt member were promising an amazing future as a flier, if she left behind her friends.

When Rainbow came back, they were surprised when she said: "I'd never betray a friend, I'm too cool for that!"

They came across an opening in the woods, that lead to a meadow. It felt strange, like the magic in the air was richer, and more dense than in any other area. The Element must be here! Twilight ran into the main area, and found a pedestal that had colorful gems on it.

"I found them!" She exclaimed excitedly. Gathering them up in her magic, she turned to leave with them, when a blast of magic blew them out of her grasp, and onto the ground.

"Like I would let you get out of here with those" The voice of Nightmare Moon rang out.

"No!" Twilight frantically jumped to the ground and tried to piece together the Elements. Giving up hope, she could only watch as Nightmare floated closer to her. An idea shot through her head, and she teleported to the other side of the room, where the door was. Her friends were entering the room, as she did this.

"I wont give up! Even if the elements were destroyed, I know deep in my heart I'm right!" She tuned to her friends. "The Elements of Harmony aren't an item one can put in your pocket! They're inside us, inside our souls! Like Applejack, who would never tell a lie, is the Element of Honesty!" She exclaimed, as fragment of an Element formed above applejacks head, forming into a small gem. "Pinkie, When laughing was the least likely way to win, she'll still get you to laugh, is the Element of Laughter!" A pink gem formed above Pinkie. "Rainbow, her inability to leave us behind, is the Element of Loyalty!" A blue gem formed above Rainbow. "Rarity, giving something she prided herself in to another so quickly, is the Element of Generosity!" A Purple gem formed above Rarity. "And Fluttershy, with her pure heart and tenderness to all living things, is the Element of Kindness!" A yellow Gem formed above Fluttershy.

"You fool, your one shy!" Nightmare laughed. Twilight smiled.

"No, the final Element is me! The Element of Magic! The magic.. of Friendship!" A crown appeared on her head. All 6mof them then floated into the air, with a swirl of Rainbow magic surrounding them. Nightmare looked on with worry, as she felt the energy in the 6 skyrocket. She faded into the shadows, and escaped. She needed to tell her Dearest!

"Nice work girls!" Twilight announced. Everypony was looking at there respective Elements, that were now in the form of Necklaces. "Now huddle up, I'll teleport us out of here!"

----With the Princesses

"Your both fools." Terumi said tauntingly, as he stood in the air. He had begun fighting seriously only moments ago, his energy literally pouring off of him. "I've grown far stronger than you think"

"I don't care!" Cried Luna as she jumped onto Terumi, once again. And once again, she felt something. She felt something resonate, it was only a matter of time now.. She could feel his power waning slightly. That was, until she got tossed off by a shadow crashing into her.

"Hussy! Back off!" Nightmare seemed to snap out of whatever angry fit she was in, as she turned to Terumi. "Dearest, we have to hurry! They-" A Lavender flash of light signaled Twilights return.

"No time to waste, lets go girls!" Suddenly there was Rainbow magic everywhere. The 6 mares floated into the air. Terumi smirked.

"Yeah right! Like I'd let you hit me with that again!?" He raged, as he disappeared in a flash of Green. Only to re-appear 5 feet away, hitting a barrier. His eyes flew open in rage. "Again?! I'll kill you!!" He screamed as he looked to see Celestia smiling at him. She had all the time in the world to set this barrier up earlier, it was just a matter of seeing how long he took to realize it was up. With her sister backing it up with her own magic, there was no way either could escape.

The beam of Rainbow energy tore through the ground, and hit the two. They're screams where all you could hear. You could see Nightmare get forced back inside Terumi's shadow, and Terumi himself holding his head. Suddenly cracks appeared on him, and it quickly spread, as his screams only got louder. A flash of Green mixed with Black, and he was standing there.

Actually, there were two of him, One was wearing his hat, it was Hazama! The other the Yellow cloak, Terumi!

They looked at each other confused, until they both started to fizzle. They're bodies slowly fading out of existence, until the two seemed to fly into each other. Another flash and he was standing there again, only it was just Hazama. He looked confused, and tired. The 6 ponies looked ready to fight the menace again, until he was tackled by Luna.

"L-Luna? Is that y-" He was interrupted by Luna mashing her mouth onto his own, capturing him in a passionate kiss for the ages they waited, they were both soon lost to they're feelings.

"EEEEHHHHH???!!!! Screamed the 6 ponies at once.

Well, How was it guys?
