Rise of Equestria
Chapter 10:Tears of joy and sadness
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe war was finally over. Finally, rest is assured in ponykind; they have officially won. The humans are no more, even though some did help the ponies last minute. The rest of the humans that did survive, they all surrendered and agreed to not fight them anymore. However, instead of being enslaved, Celestia had a better idea: She would agree to help them restore everything they have lost, as well as what Equestria has lost. She wanted peace in both kinds, and not make war. She also agreed that they have full support from the ponies, to help the humans make their world a better place to live in.
'Thank you, your highness. This means the whole world to us.' One of the leaders of the countries said to her.
Celestia smiled. 'It's my pleasure. I don't want to make war with you all. I just wanted both of our kinds to live peacefully and happily together, nothing more.'
Soon, news spread throughout Equestria that the ponies have won. Everypony was overjoyed about the news. And of course, the rebels are happy as well.
'Newsflash: Ponies are officially victorious, war ended!' The gamers were watching the news report.
Celestia stepped up, to give a speech on the news (which was pre-recorded). 'This is truly a historic moment. For not just the ponies, but it's also a historic moment for the humans as well. Although they lost, I wanted to say that the humans did put up a really tough fight for us, and that was a challenge that we have never done before. This will be the start of a bright, strong and fortunate future and friendship for both of our kinds.'
'I still can't believe we actually won,' Mark thought.
'I know right? It's crazy to think that we helped them to win.' Jess giggled.
On the other side, Joseph and Stacy are battling in a video game when they heard their friends. 'Ha, it's awesome that we got to help them.' As Joseph was saying that, Stacy swooped away the win.
'Ha! I won! You're in for it now, Joe!' Stacy laughed.
'Hey, I was distracted! Not fair, Stacy!' They playfully slapped each other for a bit.
Meanwhile, Twilight's friends and the other ponies in the group are in the dining room, having fun with each other. Dan was there as well.
'Party is on me tonight! Right, Luna?' Celestia said happily.
'Sure, it's almost time for the gala anyway, it's on tonight then!' She replied. Everypony felt cheerful.
Starlight felt great, she wanted to invite Dan and the rest of the gang there as well.
'It is basically a big party at the castle, and since Canterlot has been slowly rebuilding since we were winning again, we can get the party done tonight! Wanna come too Dan?' She asked.
'Sure! I'll ask my friends to go as well.' He answered.
On the other side, Flurry heart was chatting with her mother and Chara.
'Do you want to go to the gala tonight, my sweet girl?' Cadance asked her daughter.
'Good idea! So Chara, do you want to come with your son?' Flurry turned to her.
'Well... I still have my son, so I guess that is okay.' She replied, feeling shy. The three laughed.
The five main ponies were having fun as well.
'Awww yeah! We won the war!' Rainbow said excitedly.
'Sounds like it's a happy ending after all!' Pinkie replied.
But then, Nathan came in. 'Not exactly.'
'Why not?' Fluttershy asked.
'I'm afraid that, not everyone had a happy ending...' He said sadly, looking up.
On top of her castle, on the balcony, Princess Twilight was looking far into the distance, tears running down her face as she stared out into the sky.
Asriel went over to her. 'Twilight?'
'Asriel...' She said quietly. 'Don't you miss your sister?'
He took out a gold necklace, with a golden heart. 'The golden heart from Frisk was all that remained when she dropped dead. After the blast, I went around to see what happened to her, and I couldn't find the body, but I found this.' He gave the necklace and helped Twilight to wear it around her neck.
'I helped Nathan to make a gold necklace, and I put the real heart inside of this gold heart case. I threaded the necklace through its hole, so you can always wear it all the time, and remember your best friend. I understand how important she was to you, the same with how important she was to me as a sister. And for that... I feel very sorry for you.' Asriel said, looking down.
Twilight's tears were streaming out. 'Frisk... You promised me you will always be with me... You promised I will always be in your heart... But, now you have passed, how can you keep that promise? You can't come back to life again, not the same that I did. Why... why did you have to lie to me!?'
As she was down on her hooves, Asriel patted her head and comforted the crying princess.
At the gala, everyone was having fun. The ponies had a lot of fun, obviously, while the human rebels got to know more about the ponies.
'So you ponies can levitate stuff with magic?' Mark asked Flurry Heart.
'I wish I could do that,' Stacy giggled.
On the other side, while Pinkie is already digging into the cake at the party, Fluttershy and Discord were continuing to get along with each other.
'We haven't talked for a while, Fluttershy.' Discord said.
' I know, I've just been busy in the war.' She replied, grinning.
Nathan came in with a drink (Don't worry, not alcohol), and saw them. 'Hey, Fluttershy, what's up?' He saw Discord. 'Oh why hello, Discord. Spirit of chaos and disharmony.'
He was surprised. 'How did you know me?'
Nathan beamed. 'I watched the show, didn't Fluttershy ever tell you?'
'Oh, I almost forgot about that!' Fluttershy said, laughing. 'This is Nathan, a friend of mine. Don't worry, we aren't that close, not like me and-'
'It's okay, I've gotten over it now.' Discord replied. With a snap of his fingers, he had a cool drink in his hand. 'Want some?'
'No thanks, I am at the age to drink those but... I don't do alcohol.' Nathan said. 'I'll just be on my way, going around to meet other ponies I guess.'
As the night went on, Twilight was just at a side, spending the party alone.
'Princess Twilight, don't you want to go talk to anypony?' Celestia asked.
'No thanks, I still need some time to get over Frisk passing.' She replied.
She took Twilight under her wing. 'Don't be sad your friend is gone. She is in a better place now.'
'I just can't get over it... I loved my best friend, much more than any friend I have ever made! And now she is gone, who can I turn to?' Twilight said, depressed.
'You still have many friends. Don't cry, we are always there for you.' Celestia comforted.
Twilight dried her tears. 'Thank you, Celestia, it's hard for me.'
For the next few years, Princess Celestia kept her promise and restored everything that the humans lost. She also renewed their natural resources, helped to solve a few major problems (Although not completely solved), and a whole lot more. The humans were very happy they can live peacefully again, without Zebulon wanting to attack the ponies and all that.
The relationship between the group of ponies and the gamers eventually drew closer, and all became close friends. Everyone had each other when they go through bad times, and they played a lot of games with each other. After the war, they returned to their world and returned to what their career was supposed to be: Making videos of them playing video games. Now, the ponies would always hop on for a ride in their videos, or maybe as guests in one-off videos. One thing is for sure: This war didn't only give the ponies their biggest thrill of their lives yet but gave them new friends as well.
So, was this war a good thing? Well of course not, but to the ponies, it was something they would not forget.
