After two weeks of testimonies, cross-examinations, and accounts, the Judges announced that they had reached a verdict on the defendants.

It was early in the evening when it began. Everyone arrived at the courtroom to hear the verdicts. The defendants were there as well. Daniel Sr and his friends waited to see the results of justice.

The judges arrived, everyone sat down, and the proceedings commenced. Wil Burstein soon spoke as the news crews filmed the whole event live for everyone to watch.

"This trial is coming to a close. Before we deliver the verdicts, do the defendants have any statements they wish to make?"

None of the defendants said anything. Wil continued

"The defendants have been charged with the following crimes:

1. Participation in a common plan of conspiracy for the accomplishment of crimes against peace
   
2. Plotting and committing mass genocide
   
3. Planning, initiating, and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace
   
4. War crimes
   
5. Crimes against innocent lifeforms.

Wil began reading the verdicts and sentences of the defendants:

Finally, the moment came for Darren Jr's verdict.

The court decided unanimously that Darren Jr was found guilty on all five counts.

Jr was shocked. He tried to say something, but Wil interrupted him.

"Your parents, while they stated that they will always love you, have been extremely disappointed with the way you acted during your Acting Presidency. So it is that you are sentenced to life imprisonment under house arrest. You have also been officially removed from the line of succession to the Presidency, to be replaced by Darren III, and you are stripped of your powers and office. This is in accordance with the wishes of your father."

Jr had lost all words. He lost it all. He collasped back onto his seat, shook his head sideways, and put his hands on his face. Wil soon spoke.

"This tribunal is hereby closed." Wil banged the gavel and that was that. It was all over. Justice was served. Everyone left the courtroom. Those condemned to death were taken to the left while those condemned to prison were sent to the right. An honor guard arrived to take Jr away to begin his sentence. At last, justice was done.

All around Equestria and the ITPF, there was massive celebration at the verdicts. But for the families of the condemned, it was a time of mourning, and to understand why they did what they did.

For Daniel Sr, he felt a great burden was lifted from him. As his friends, and children celebrated inside the penthouse, he was out on the balcony, watching the fireworks lit up the night sky. Gilda, in her anthro form, came out to the balcony.

"Hey Daniel."

"Hi Gilda."

"So, it's really over now?"

"Yeah. Darren Jr is now behind bars, Equestria is safe, and probably soon we will see Equestria and Earth work together and enter into a new era of peace, prosperity, and cooperation."

"Maybe. What will you do now that the war is over? I mean, what will happen to the clone army?"

"Well, they will go find new jobs probably."

"I see."

On a building opposite of the penthouse, a filly and a young human kid were playing with the human's father's recorder when they saw Daniel Sr and Gilda on the balcony. They pointed the recorder and started recording, zooming in on the two, yet neither Gilda nor Daniel noticed.

"Gilda?"

"Yes?"

"Now that the war is over, are you going to take up the mantle and lead the Griffon Kingdom?"

"Yes, since I'm the only known surviving descendant of King Grover I, I have to assume the Throne. I have to lead my fellow griffons on a road of recovery, all by myself."

"Your not going to be alone."

"Wait, what?"

"Gilda, I made a promise that when the war was over and done with, I would marry you, and so," Daniel got down on one knee and pulled out a black box. Gilda moved her talons to her beak and got teary eyed.

"Gilda the Griffon, would you do me the honor of making me the happiest man alive, by marrying me?"

Gilda soon broke out a big smile and cried out with tears of joy:

"Yes, a thousand times Daniel!" Daniel got up, opened the box, pulled out a diamond ring, put it on Gilda's right index finger, and kissed her. The human and filly caught it all on tape and went to the conputer to upload the footage. Thus, a new chapter for Daniel Sr was about to begin.

Author's Note
