The corrupt Celestia and the ponies who stood against her faced each other with a fierce determination, both knowing that this would be one of their last standings. Every twitch of a muscle, every stary hair in the wind or ruffled feather was noted keenly as they stood in opposition.

Celestia charged, but a flash brought her up short as Trixie Lulamoon and Twilight Sparkle appeared before the two sides. The latter was ragged and tired, her fur matted with sweat and the smell of her exertion was quite apparent. Her eyes were ringed and her features drawn tight, as if exhausted or in pain.

"ENOUGH!"

Panting slightly, Twilight turned to face her former teacher.
"Celestia, this isn't you, you don't do things like this. Look deep inside and find that love you hold for us all. Reach insides and find the love you hold for me, your family, just as I have found the love for my own new family."
Twilight sighed happily, gesturing to the girls and the Night Corps. then to a bundle she held close.
"This is my baby, Celestia, and if I am truly a daughter to you, then this is your granddaughter. Can you not find it in your heart to loves us?"

Celestia stopped for a moment, eyeing Twilight and the pup pensively.
"My granddaughter...."

Twilight nodded hopefully.

"...Is a LIE!" The Solar Diarch snarled as she thrust her sharpened horn forward at the small bundle.

Three thing happened at once, and then it was over.

Twilight's eyes went from shocked, to determined, to horrified as she felt blood splash across her torso and face, where her daughter had been held. In panic, the unicorn unwrapped her pup and examined it closely, but found she was unharmed. Casting her gave upward the first thing she noted was a see of periwinkle and crimson fur.

"She still hasn't seen the sunrise Twilight...and to be honest, we all knew...we all kn...you..were bet...ter..than..m..."

Before her, gored on Celestia's horn was none other than Trixie. The foolish unicorn, always so boastful and arrogant, gave her last moments to Twilight's pup. Then Twilight looked past her at the corrupt alicorn.

Celestia stood, eyes wide in shock, as blood flowed from her chest. The alicorn would have looked down to see the lavender magical lance that had speared her heart, but the lycan that had locked his teeth into the back of her neck, tearing through skin and severing the spine.

In a burst of magical light, the Nightmare was destroyed, and as the light cleared, there lay Celestia.

The now purified alicorn was in no better shape than the tainted one from moments prior, and laid, crown dented and askew, on her side as blood poured from her chest and neck. Giving a pained cough, the one true Celestia smiled lovingly at Twilight.
"You...save me, my daughter...and yes, you...are mine...ancient magics...forbidden..."

Twilight just gasped as tears sprung up into her eyes. Lunging forward the unicorn wrapped her hooves around the mother she'd only just realize was truly hers.
"Celestia, please, don't leave me...I....I...I'll fix you, I promise!"

"Twilight, dear, please don't make....a promise....you can not keep....may I see...my granddaughter before...I leave you?" the failing alicorn struggled to ask.

Nodding with a sob, Twilight showed her daughter, her pup, to Celestia.

"Beautiful....I have but...one...final gift for...you...my daughter...and for your family....my...legacy...my greatest love..."

Lighting her horn one final time, Celestia covered Twilight, Telvanni and her granddaughter in a veil of magical light.

~^~1000 Years Later~^~

"Tia! Tia, I know you're hiding in there, now come out and give everybeast a smile. Let them know you've returned!" Luna called cheerfully.

Tia ducked her head embarrassedly but knew there was no getting out of it. It was the great reveal after all, and everybeast would want to welcome her return to the throne. As she stepped through the curtains and joined the four waiting for her, Tia blushed whilst a fanfare played and her name was announced.

"Returning from Reindeer lands, allow me to introduce Princess Tia Lulamoon, daughter of Telvanni and Twilight, Prince and Princess of the Stars!"

Tia padded straight up to her mother and father, who both wrapped the wined female lycan pony hybrid in their loving embrace.

"Mom, dad, it's good to be home!" Tia grinned. "And Auntie Luna and Auntie Cadance, it is wonderful to see you two as well. Should I presume Uncle Armour is off handling the security?"

Twilight gave her daughter a loving smile.
"Of course, was adamant he did things himself. Now don't you have an announcement?"

Blushing slightly, Tia nodded and moved towards the microphone and in turn, the ribbon in front of a brand new building.
"Dearest subjects, as we all know from the text books, 2008 years ago, a being known as the Nightmare attempted to take control of our Princess Luna, but thankfully failed. We also know that 1000 years ago, the Nightmare tried again, this time successfully taking control of our former Princess, and beloved mother, friend, sister, aunt, and grandmother, Celestia. During this time, many stories were played out, and many a hero was made. Today I proudly announce that those heroes may be gone, but they will never be forgotten! Today I announce the Hall of Heroes, a monument to every Mare, Stallion and Foal that has ever stood against unbreakable odds in the name of all things good in Equestria! I declare this memorial, open!"

Tia went first, making straight for the side by side memorials of a periwinkle unicorn and a radiant white alicorn.

~^~^~^~

Thus, as life is want to do, the world continued. The Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts teams continued, a friendly rivalry between the two. Under the unswerving guidance of the immortal Princes Shining Armour and Telvanni, and the unrivalled leadership of the Princesses Luna, Cadence, Twilight, and Tia Lulamoon all of known Equiis banded together to form the land of Harmony.

It was the perfect peace, the perfect memorial to those whose lives had passed striving for such things.

Author's Note

So this is just the sad ending, where Celestia and Trixie die.

Not my best ending, nor is it one that I personally like, but I know some might enjoy it more than the other two I'll be making.

I will say, do not worry too hard on what happened to everypony else(Gilda, Spits, Vinyl, Tavi, Sweetie, Scoots) as I plan to do short side stories for certain characters so you can see more into the struggle. And I specifically want to do one for Trixie, as she was with the enemy the whole time.

I'll get the other two endings out as soon as I can, but until then I hope you've enjoyed the ride, and stick around for more from me!
