Fluttershy was quick to deposit Scootaloo off on the back of one of the larger dragons. The filly made to move a soft hoof pressed her down as softer lips touched her own.

"I have you Scoots, just let me heal you."

Scootaloo opened her puffy eyes as a smile made its way to her lips. Sweetie Belle was right to have told her to look to the horizon.

~^~^~^~

Once she'd deposited Scootaloo, Fluttershy turned about and made a beeline for Celestia. She had to lead the corrupted alicorn back to the castle.

Then, suddenly, chaos was everywhere.

The Imperial airforce, mysteriously not present for the original battle, started swarming into the air going after the dragons. It came to Fluttershy's horror that Celestia had planned for this, as the Imperials knew exactly where to strike at her dragons! Weaving through as much of the havoc as possible, the mare had to pull up short as a pegasus stallion reared up before her, sword in hoof.

"Die rebel su-"

And promptly fell from the sky, a feathered shaft protruding from his neck. Just then a familiar voice alighted Fluttershy's ears.

"Lead the false Celestia back Fluttershy, we will take care of this! Clear the path for Fluttershy, nothing stands in her way!"

Princess Cadence, along with the griffon's and her own crystal pegasi archers, had made the field!

~^~^~^~

Pre-battle jitters, that's what Shining had kept telling himself as they'd marched on the castle of the Moon. Now, though, he'd realized his mistake.

Hordes of unaccounted for Imperial soldiers began to pour out from the Everfree, quickly over running the defences of Luna's army. The stallion himself was in trouble, having just been dropped to the ground by a cruel slash to the leg.
'Candy, Twily, I'm sorry I failed you both....'

*THONK*

A hoof hefted Shining up back onto his feet, and the stallion recognized the being as a zebra.

"If it is hope you need to arise, simple look about the earth and to the skies!" the zebra laughed before spinning back into the masses, it's staff whirling like a dervish.

The Captain took just that advice to see that the crystal ponies were flowing in from the north east, coupled with a small force of reindeer.

From the south came the black and white striped masses of Zebrica.

From the skies poured down griffons and dragons like rain, and from the ground roused the Diamond Dogs!

It was as if the whole of Equestria had risen up to combat the evil that had corrupted Celestia!

Hope surging through him, Shining drew his blade and leapt back into the fray.

~^~^~^~

After promptly slapping Celestia across the cheek, Fluttershy tore off through the aerial battlefield dodging this way and that through the anarchy that currently reigned in the skies. All she knew was that she had to get Celestia back to the castle.

~^~^~^~

It was over. The battle, the war, the hate....

As a whole, once the Imperials realized that they were outnumbered, they began to throw down their weapons and armour, and in the light of the horror they'd unleashed upon their fellow pony, collapsed weeping.

Then a miracle happened.

Ending the hate with finality, everybeast began to relinquish their own holds on their weapons on all sides, regardless of species, gender, or faction. Together they began to gather the wounded, and soothe the dying.

Only one thing could interrupt the calm....

~^~^~^~

Telvanni and his mother stood grinning widely at the sight before them. They watched as the species of the known world came together in true harmony.

As they stood, the Elements came to stand behind them, and the Night Corps. as well.

"So, is this it Telv, it finally over?" Vinyl pressed.

Before the lycan could answer, Scootaloo, now fully healed, landed, carrying Sweetie Belle.
"It will never be over for those who have lost, and they will all carry a burden in their hearts. For now, we must live in the present though, because it is all we have."

A soft voice pitched in from the right as Cadence and Shining trotted up.
"But for now we have one more issue to deal with. Fluttershy is on her way here with Celestia, and luckily I have managed to obtain the Elements! Now quick, put them on and...wait, where is Twilight?"

Telvanni suddenly found himself the object of some very uncomfortable attention and realized he would now have to explain how Twilight had hidden her pregnancy, and the fact that she'd been pregnant and was now a mother.
"Well, you see-"

Just then Fluttershy touched down hard.
"She's coming!"

Author's Note

So yup, this is the last 'Chapter' and I'll be doing the endings next, I've got two or three planned, but I can't wait to ge them out for you to see.

As for why I stopped at such a shitty spot? Well, it has to do with the endings.

Honestly, I don't like this chapter, but where it leaves off makes room for me to do my endings, and I personally think the endings will leave you guys satisfied!
