"AUNT TWILIGHT!!!!!!!!" screamed the voices of Nathan, Skyla, and Flurry heart as they quickly ran up to her and managed to tackle her to the floor. She giggled in response to the sudden surprise greeting that they had given her, the next one to be excited was Zodiac, who had walked up and hugged her with tear filled eyes. Lastly, the rest of the group joined in and embraced their resurrected friend with welcoming expressions. Everyone was really happy to have Twilight back from the dead and healed. Zodiac turned to see Jesus, Celestia, and Luna had vanished from the room and went back into heaven. Their assignment had already been completed, but defeating Tirek and the others was up to the living crew, Zodiac looked up out a small window showing a small sun light that glimmered through it and he smiled.

"Thank you Jesus, and you too Mom, and you as well Aunt Luna." he whispered.

"Hopefully, we can show those monsters a thing or two about messing with our friendship now!" exclaimed Pinkie Pie.

"You're right Pinkie." said Twilight as she levitated her crown back onto her head and stood on all four, "But, we need to find the one who set them free first."

"That would be Thunder Clash you're referring to, he's the main cause of all of this." said Zodiac.

"He has been nothing but a nuisance to us all ever since he was banished to Tartarus!"

"It's time for him to suffer."

"He is a traitor to his own family and his own country!"

"I understand!" Twilight snapped, "But we have to find him first."

"Yes Princess Twilight." said Kyle, "We will all work together with you on finding Thunder Clash and bringing him into a life of misery once again."

"It's time for him to pay once and for all." said Nathan.

"They will all pay for this." said Scorpan.

"Come everypony, we can't just stand here and talk." said Twilight, "We will find wherever he is, and I will see to it that he gets punished severely for the mess he has caused!"

"If we can know where he is." said Applejack.

"Another problem is facing us too, their army is still out there patrolling, and they've got us outnumbered."

"Don't worry you all, there's many alleyways that we can slip through, they shouldn't be able to see us." said Twilight

"Ah' just hope that damn law they signed doesn't get in the way of us." said Nathan.

"Law? what law?!" asked Twilight.

Luster Dawn hung her head, "Princess, after Tirek murdered you, it got really bad. I saw him enslave everypony, after that, he and Chrysalis signed a bill that...........MADE FRIENDSHIP ILLEGAL!!!!!!!"

"WHAT!?!" Twilight screamed.

"And what's worse, he, Chrysalis, and Thunder Clash killed the Duchess and Duke of Maretonia!"

Twilight's eyes burned fiery red, her body boiling with rage, "THIS HAS GONE FAR ENOUGH!!!!!!". Her scream was so loud, it made everypony and creature cover their ears, this was her new Royal Canterlot Voice.

"I'm the ruler of Equestria dammit, they can steal our magic. But when they steal friendship, that's where I draw the line!"

"Well let's not just stand here, it's time to find Thunder Clash and find a plan to get us outta this mess." said Flurry Heart.

"Yes, let's go everypony!" said Nathan

They were now walking through the deserted alleyways of the city, trying to make best to the enemy that Twilight was resurrected and did not want her to be seen. As they did their best to evade the terrorist guards, they came across a back door of what led into the prison house of Equestria, and it was wide open. This was not expected for them, as the prison is usually surrounded by guards at every corner and door, but there were no guards in.

"Maybe if we come in here, we can get some info about where Thunder Clash could be." said Rainbow Dash.

"But who in here would know anything about him?!" asked Nathan.

"Besides, there is no one in there, it's been off track for moons!" said Pinkie Pie, that's when they were soon interrupted by a strange sound. It was not only coming from inside the prison, but it sounded like a pony sniffling from crying, a sound no one would ever hear coming from a prison. A sound that only a heart full would make if they were truly sorry for something they had done.

"You all hear that?" asked Kyle.

"It's coming from inside." said Gallus.

"It's....somepony crying." said Twilight.

"Well come on, let's see who it is." said Nathan, and they walked inside the prison, closing the door softly and quietly to evade detection from the terrorists. As they walked through the corridors of the prison, they could see cell after cell empty and torn up from ages of old pony prisoners who had broken the law. Broken bed frames, rotted mattresses, and water dripping from old leaky pipes to the sound of their hooves and feet stepping through puddles of water and old cracked floors.

The corridor went on for another hour until the group came to an old rusted staircase that led to a second floor corridor of empty deserted prison cells. The group held up their ears to listen to where the crying was coming from, and to their surprise, it was actually coming from that exact area!

"Come on." said Kyle as they all raced up the stairs to the second corridor. The crying was coming from the cell at the far left corner, when they all sprinted towards the cell, what they saw inside shocked all of them, it was........

"THUNDER CLASH!?!" they all asked in shock, Thunder quickly stopped crying and turned to see his enemies staring at him with anger, but the one pony he quickly took notice of made him jump backwards in surprise and shock.

"PRINCESS TWILIGHT!!!!!" he screamed.

"HOW ARE YOU HERE, SURELY YOU'RE NOT A GHOST!!!!!!!"

Twilight walked up to him slowly, then reached a hoof out to him.

"Here Thunder, touch my hoof." she said to him, it took a minute or two, but Thunder Clash managed to slowly and gently put his hoof onto hers. When he did, it did not go through her, nor did she vanish, she was really there in front of him. Resurrected and fully alive, he stumbled backward in utter awe.

"B-B-But, how are you alive?!" he stuttered, "Tirek shot you dead with his gun."

"I was brought back to life by the Son of the God of the human world." she said, referring to Kyle and Nathan's world. But the one who really confronted him was a very angered Zodiac.

"I believe a good question to ask is why are you in here instead of with Tirek and Chrysalis?!"

"They threw away a deal we made." said Thunder Clash.

"What deal?!" growled Rainbow Dash, Thunder just sat blank.

"What was the deal, tell us." said Nathan, again Thunder was silent.

"TELL US NOW!!!!!!!!!!" Nathan screamed with a stomp of his hoof, finally Thunder spoke up.

"THEY PROMISED THEY WOULD HELP ME WITH GETTING REVENGE ON MY FATHER FOR ABUSING ME ALL MY LIFE! THERE NOW ARE YOU ALL HAPPY!?!" he screamed with so much rage, it caused the main group to stand back in immediate shock, but they were still disappointed in his actions.

"Thunder, do you realize what you've done to your own kind?" asked Twilight in a calm manner.

"Because of you, thousands of innocent ponies are either dead or enslaved of using their magic ever again!" exclaimed Luster Dawn.

"Shut up!" Thunder snapped, "I'm feeling guilty enough as it is. I don't need to be scolded for crap that is already my fault!"

"I just wanted to get back at my Dad, I never intended to be lied to. Now because of my anger and blindsided attitude, magic is lost and friendship is no more, I was tricked into setting them free because they somehow managed to speak through their stone prison. They lied to me, they tricked me, and they used me to kill and enslave everypony rather than get back at my father, now it's too late, I can't do anything!"

Thunder Clash then went over to a corner and buried himself, crying like a waterfall, he had managed to reveal what his true motives were. The group could now feel a strange tug of sorrow in their hearts, Thunder was really showing instant remorse for his actions, as he continued to cry, he felt a hoof on his chin. Thunder felt this hoof lift his face up to reveal Twilight, whose expression changed from a disappointed scorn to a loving comforting sad frown.

"Thunder, it's not too late, you were just lost in your temper." she said.

"I-If you were being abused by your Dad all these years, why didn't you just go to somepony for help?" asked Rarity.

"Because he would always threaten to hurt me if I had anypony questioning his motives." he said, "I just wanted to get out of the misery of his presence, that's it, but now I have no one to help me or be my friend."

Zodiac showed a loving smile and reached out to Thunder's hoof and held it.

"Hey, that is why we are together, because we help others in need." he said.

"Yeah, it's not too late, it's never too late." said Nathan, Thunder then looked at the group showing comforting smiles at him, they were actually willing to give him a chance at friendship.

"What do you say, friends?" asked Zodiac, Thunder Clash now had new tears forming, but these were tears of happiness. He could now feel his heart lifting with love as the group held their hooves to him in giving the friendship he really was asking for deep down.

He quickly held out his hoof and touched theirs, "Yes, I'll give friendship the way, I would love to be friends with you all!"

That's when a massive hug pile formed on him.

"And as a way of apologizing for my actions, I will help you all defeat Tirek and Chrysalis, and restore all life and magic to Equestria."

"We are very pleased to hear you say that Thunder Clash." said Twilight, "But there will be punishment awaiting you for later."

"Yes Princess Twilight." he said.

"Now let's get back to the castle and give those skunks a really good kick in the bun!" said Kyle and soon, they were out of the prison and back out into the alleyway.

Author's Note

Thunder Clash has been reformed, but he will face some serious punishment for later. How do you all think Tirek and Chrysalis should be defeated?
