Rainbow was knocked out cold, she could see a faces mouthing, "Wake up." She slowly came around and saw Sunny shaking her around. "Come on, wake up."

Rainbow moaned, "Wh-what?"

"I don't know what in Celestia's mind gave you the idea to sacrifice yourself the way you did, but you stopped the shot."

Rainbow shook her head, and sounded a bit panicked, "I, I can't feel my wings."

Sunny sighed, "They were destroyed in the blast. Since they were the ones who stopped it all."

"What about the heart?"

"Firefly is taking care of it all. The kingdom, and all of Equestria is is in your debt."

Rainbow chuckled, "Well, y'know loyalty doesn't come without some sacrifice ..."

Sunny laughed, "You're right."

The two had their laugh and then they got something from their comms, "Hey, thanks for your concern for me, but umm, I'm stuck here with a dead body and a slight injury to the back along with some cracked armor and a passed out pet...can I get some transportation over here?"

They laughed, and figured out that it was Nighthawk. Sunny got on the comm and laughed, "Standby Hawk we'll send Comet over with a medical transport."

At the end of the fight Equestria had a lucky victory, and the Crystal Empire was shining like a star once again with the crystal heart back in its place, but the war was still at large.

Back at the fortress where general Firefox was placed, he held a pony with it's magic and with one strike of the scythe that Nighthawk returned with Ruby's head, he killed the pony and ignited his horn. "He will die. And I will slaughter the princess. Have your victory you murdering monster, cause tomorrow..." He fired a blast and it hit a dummy of what looked like Nighthawk and it fell over with a mark in it's chest. "You will perish..."
