Chapters In the everfree forest sat the castle of the two sisters where everypony was gathered to witness a historical event trumpets went off as a Herald called out, “Presenting her Royal Majesty Queen Selena.” A black alicorn walked into the room, her mane and tail was ethereal blue with a purple tint on the edge with white stars sparkling in them, her teal eyes were serpentine, and her cutie mark was a white moon with a purple boarder, Selena smiled revealing she had fangs though nopony seemed bothered by this because she was scary for a reason.
The Herald then said, “Presenting his Royal Majesty King Stygian.” A gray unicorn with azure eyes, cerulean with artic blue mane and tail walked into the room, he was tallish but Selena easily towered over everypony including him but he didn’t seem to care as his horn was glowing with his azure majestic aura as he looked at a scroll that held his checklist on it. “My love your being very rude ignoring everypony like this.” Selena said her horn glowing a cobalt blue to pull away his check list he turned towards her revealing his cutie mark a quill with an inkpot.
“Hey you know how I feel about my checklists.” “And you’ll get it back when we are done.” Stygian grumbled but accepted finally the Herald said, “Presenting her Royal Highness Twilight sparkle.” A light grayish mulberry unicorn with violet eyes, a dark sapphire blue mane, tail with purple and raspberry streaks, her cutie mark was a pink six pointed star surrounded by six stars, a simple tiara was on her head she stood next to her mother she seemed average sized.
Selena smiled at her before looking towards the audience, “My loyal subjects! It’s been a thousand years since my dear sister Celestia was taken by the tantabus becoming Daybreaker. Sadly I had to use the elements of harmony to trap her in the sun and they became stone spheres… so I had the best magicians try their hardest and they finally produced a result.” A servant came forward with a necklace box. Selena took it, she opened it pulling out a necklace that had a circle pendant with six diamond shaped stones inside it. “They finally transformed them into something much easier to transport and now I give this pendant to my daughter.”
Selena put the pendant around Twi’s neck. Ponies cheered as Twi stepped forwards, “Thank you mother and I promise to protect these with my life.” Just then, the castle doors were blown open by a great force. Twi’s horn glowed a brilliant raspberry as a dark gray unicorn with green eyes, a cobalt blue mane and tail walked inside and Selena reacted first, “King Lucian? Is that you?” He looked up at her his eyes turning red, “Not anymore…” The white of his eyes turned green as a violet smoke came out of his eyes, his horn turned red and curved his amber magic changed to black engulfed with a vivid violet haze with light green edges.
“The tantabus promised to bring my darling Celestia back to me so I left Lucian I am now King Sombra!”
“One thousand years I suffered without Celestia. Well no more!” Sombra blasted the roof and all the ponies ran out of the castle. Sombra ignored them, he was looking at the sun. He sent another blast towards the sun, a glowing line was formed between him and the sun. “Now you keep your promise tantabus and bring Celestia back to me!” Selena watched in horror as the sun glowed purple before a bright light came out of it, then the line snapped and the sun glowed yellow again, the light came down and revealed Daybreaker.
Selena and Celestia were of equal height and so was Daybreaker, she as pure white like Celestia but unlike Celestia her mane and tail were made of fire, yellow eyes that were serpentine. She had fangs and her cutie mark was surrounded by orange and yellow. She looked like Selena, but unlike Selena who used her looks to scare the nightmares in dreams, Daybreaker wanted to scare the ponies. Sombra slowly approached her, “My darling Celestia…”
“Enough of that! We have them to deal with.” Her horn ignited red and Selena managed to make a shield before a red beam blasted them, “Twilight, run and find the elements of harmony!” Screamed Selena.
He lead her to a room with statues of the pillars of old Equestria. Stygian quickly used his magic to move items onto platforms in front of the statues; a flower, a mask, a shield, a shovel, a blindfold, a cloak, and a book. Once he placed them in their proper place, a secret doorway that lead outside opened. “Go and find the elements! The old ones of strength, healing, hope, beauty, bravery, knowledge, and sorcery won’t work anymore. You need to remake them into new elements. Also I’m taking this off, you no longer need it.”
He said this as his magic took off Twi’s crown. She shivered as she felt magic from the stars flow into her body, her mother thought it would be better if she was eased into her role as princess of the stars. Twi’s wings appeared as she got taller, her mane and tail ignited with magic and started flowing, completely changing to look like a galaxy. The colors in her old mane moved to her wings. She was only half the size of her mother since she hasn’t connected to the stars completely yet, “Dad I’m going to stick out like a sore hoof.”
“You need to make connections and you need to be yourself when you do it, now go.” They both heard Daybreaker’s armored hooves clopping against the stone getting closer. Stygian pushed his daughter outside before moving the items off the platforms, Twi watched as the secret doorway vanished inside with Stygian. He turned to face Daybreaker and Sombra. “Where is your daughter? The magic signature ends here.” Stygian tossed the suppressing crown away, “To bad you can’t find her now.” Daybreaker looked around, “There is a secret passage here. How do we open it?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know.”
He was white Alicorn , his green eyes looked back at her as his mane and tail flowed with magic, a ticking time stream inside both. His cutie mark was an hourglass, “Ah Chronos my son! It’s so good to see you.” Chronos was a bit shorter then Daybreaker. He had yet to grow into his full powers as the prince of time. “Mother I’m here to help.”
Sombra looked confused, “Don’t you mean niece?”
“This doesn’t tell me anything I don’t already know. Worthless! But at least I know what she looks like, and she couldn’t have gotten far.” Meanwhile Twilight just finished running through the everfree forest, she took deep breaths as she stretched her legs and her wings twitched, “Oh dad I know you want me to make friends as myself but still…” She spread her wings as she looked at her flowing galaxy mane, “Ponies might be a bit overwhelmed…” She looked into town folding her wings. She sighed, walking the edge making sure to stay out of sight.
Author's Note
So to those who seen the MLP FIM movie you also know those orbs that turn the princesses to stone that's basically what happened here with Sombra's spell.
Twi heard some ponies shout, “Watch out!” She made a bubble shield and a scooter with a young teen pegasus ran into her shield. The scooter pushed against it but gently sprung back, the light brilliant gamboge pegasus took off her helmet revealing her messy moderate cerise mane and her grayish purple eyes looked at her with astonishment, “Oh my gosh… girls look!” Two other young teens poked their head from behind her. Twi tilted her head and behind the scooter was a wagon, she also noticed all three ponies had very similar cutie marks.
The light gray unicorn with grayish mulberry with light grayish rose streaks mane and tail, jumped off she was looking at Twi with her light grayish harlequin eyes, and the light grayish olive earth pony with brilliant amaranth mane and tail, jumped off on the other side her brilliant gamboge eyes were also staring at her, “My gosh Crusaders, we nearly ran over royalty!”
“Well those are all good observations. Yes I am royalty.”
“Um…” Twi said trying not to get uncomfortable, “Well I have yet to connect with the stars…”
“We are the cutie mark Crusaders and we are here to help with your cutie mark, if your lost or bare we are right there! Sometimes you try your best but your cutie mark won’t appear, or you already have it but your destiny isn’t clear, well don’t you worry because we are here! We are the cutie mark Crusaders and we are here to help with your cutie mark!”
“You three just burst into song…”
She also saw a pear orchard not that far from where she was walking. A fence keeping the two apart, she saw a large barn and not wanting to get lost in this orchard she walked towards it, then heard a pony yell out. Thinking somepony was hurt she ran towards the yell but when she got there, the brilliant gamboge earth pony seemed fine. Her light grayish olive mane and tail were tied at the end, her cowboy hat was somehow staying on her head. Twi stepped towards her, “Excuse me I heard somepony yell. Is everything okay over here?”
The pony’s moderate sap green eyes widened when she saw Twi, “Whoa nelly, your royalty! Um oh gosh I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to bow…” She said, her hooves tangling in her panic and she fell forwards landing on her chest, her head laying on the ground. "Now I look like a hog tied donkey…” She face planted herself in embarrassment, Twi used her magic and helped the pony back on her hooves, “Oh my gosh are you okay? That was a nasty tumble.” Twi said brushing dirt off the pony’s chest. “What, your not insulted?” She asked.
“More worried then anything, please tell me your okay… um…”
“Um… yes…” Twi said looking sheepish. “Then a few apples won’t do! Come on, we got to get you some grub!” Applejack said pushing Twi towards her house. “No really I’m fine… how are you this strong?” Twi looked down at her hooves which were leaving deep drag marks in the earth. “Years of apple bucking can move a boulder if I need to, now stop being as stubborn as a mule, you need a good home cooked meal.”
Twi followed Applejack inside her house. She sat on a chair even though she wanted to help, “Your so strong I haven’t seen strength like that since Rockhoof.” Applejack laughed lightly as she was cutting apples, “You say that like you actually seen Rockhoof that’s impossible he died 1,000 years ago.” Twi chuckled nervously, how to explain she actually saw all the pillars as they lived their lives and passed on without Applejack freaking out? Best not try to explain her complex immortal life… “Right. What I meant was your as strong as what I read Rockhoof was.”
Applejack chuckled lightly, “I figured you meant that, your brain must be running slow from lack of food in your belly. Don’t you worry, once you get some of the apple families food in yeah, your mind will wake up like a rooster crowing in the morning.” After a while Applejack served a large meal that was apple themed. Twi picked up the utensils and noticed apples on the handles, her napkin had apple slices on it, the plates were apples blossom shaped, Twi almost had an anime sweat drop moment when she realized that Applejack’s family were crazy about apples.
“This looks delicious, can’t wait to try it.” Twi said feeling awkward again. She put a fork with a piece of apple fritter flapjacks in her mouth and her eyes widened so large that you could see her pupils had a heart with an apple in it, Twi drooled lightly as she just sat there, Applejack shook her, “Twi… Twi. Twilight!” Twi shook her head after pulling the fork from her mouth, “Sorry it’s just, that tasted so good, after a lifetime of eating royal meals I almost forgotten what real food tasted like.” Twi wanted to drop her utensils and simply dig in.
But she was a princess not some homeless pony, so she had to remember her manners. She ate every dish though, she burped lightly when she was done. “Whoa doggy I can tell you haven’t had good food, you act like you haven’t eaten good food for a thousand years.” Twi blushed as she wiped her mouth, “Yeah well royal chefs are experts but they forget the basics. They turn everything fancy, this is the best meal I’ve had in my life.” Applejack started to cry and Twi got up and immediately went to her, “Are you okay? I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings.”
Applejack just hugged her, “You didn’t, you just made my day!” Twi smiled softly as she hugged her back, her wings wrapping around too, “You really did make the best food I’ve ever tasted and that’s the honest truth.” Applejack wiped her tears as they broke the hug, “I always strive to be honest but hearing your sincere honesty made my day.”
“What in tarnation is going on here! Why am I glowing?!” Twi looked down at her pendant and noticed one shard was glowing weakly. She touched Applejack and both glowed so bright that both of them had to close their eyes. When it was over the crystal shard was orange instead of gray and Applejack was wearing golden hoof shoes on her back hooves with an apple shaped orange gem on each, “What are these?” Applejack asked looking at her back hooves and Twi gasped, “Those are one of the elements of harmony!”
“The elements of what now?” Applejack said trying to take them off but they wouldn’t come off. “The elements of harmony dad told me I need to remake them from the old elements, and so the element of strength has become honesty!” Applejack looked at Twi, “Why won’t these come off?”
“Well they are a bit much but I can respect the apple gems… wait did you say strength? As in the old pillar Rockhoof of strength?!” Twilight was going to answer but noticed two ponies outside, both earth ponies. One was a pale gamboge female with a brilliant gamboge mane and tail with brilliant turquoise eyes and the other was a light grayish olive male with brilliant red mane and tail, with moderate harlequin eyes, “Applejack do you know those ponies?” Applejack looked and started crying she ran outside and Twi followed.
Applejack looked at the two ponies, “Ma? Pa? How is this possible? You… the timberwolves… so much blood… I buried…”
He spread his wings over AJ’s parents one parent under each wing, “Applejack I’ll make you a trade those golden hoof shoes for your parents.” AJ looked at the hoof shoes, “But I can’t take them off.”
“Tick tock AJ, make your choice.” AJ looked at Twilight then at Eternity and finally she looked at her parents, “Ma, pa… I said I would give anything to have you here with me again…” Eternity smiled slowly AJ looked at the gems, she looked back at her parents she was crying softly, “I’m sorry but I can’t give these to you, I’m a guardian of honesty!” Eternity yelled his wings covering her parents and when he lifted them they were gone, “You foolish pony I’ll just kill you for them!” Eternity flew towards her out of instinct to defend herself she turned around and bucked him as hard as she could.
Eternity was bucked right into a mountain very far away AJ stared with disbelief, “Did I do that?” Twi stepped up next to her, “Well your element helped, but yes you did do that… why didn’t you take his offer?”
Twi hugged her, “I’m sorry he taunted you with the two ponies you can never get back.”

Applejack was the hardest to write as trying to write down her way of speaking is harder then you think hopefully I pulled it off.
Twi stepped back suddenly when she saw the sun change color, AJ looked at her and when she noticed Twi was staring up, she also looked up. AJ couldn't look into the sun like Twi but she didn't need to as an image came out of the sun, it was Daybreaker. "PONIES AND CREATURES OF THE WORLD HEAR ME!" Daybreaker's voice ran out, "I am your new queen Daybreaker. As for your old queen Selena well I'm afraid she's a bit..." Daybreaker revealed Selena in statue form, "Preoccupied at the moment, and so it's up to me to take up controlling the sun and moon, however you ponies don't love and accept me but that's fine because the day will last forever!"
Twi heard screaming from the nearby town, the whole world was probably freaking out, Daybreaker laughed as her image vanished and Twi looked at AJ, "We have to go and get the other elements quickly!" Twi tried to fly away but was stopped by AJ biting her tail, "Whoa there!" Twi landed and AJ let go of her tail, "Sorry about that but you seem to be forgetting that I can't fly." Twi smacked her head, "Sorry I completely forgot about that in my panic." She used her magic and summoned a flying chariot, it could easily hold six ponies, "Get in." Twi said hooking herself in, AJ jumped into the chariot and once she was in Twi spread her wings and took off in the sky.
AJ looked over the edge of the chariot she gulped as she saw how far off the ground they were, "Whoa nelly we are really high.""Hey everypony check this out!"
She yelled before doing some air tricks. The pegasi slowly turned their attention away from Twi. She saw the pegasus pointing in a certain direction and Twi slowly flew towards the way she pointed. She landed far away on a cloud next to a house with a rainbow fountain and the pegasus from earlier came up to them, "Well that worked out perfectly but of course it did because I'm awesome, the name is Rainbow Dash the best flyer in Cloudsdale!"
"Seriously your a royal, you got to have royal guards!"
Both AJ and Rainbow stared at her before Rainbow broke the silence, "Wow you really know your history, are you an egghead?"
Twi didn't look impressed, "Uh huh..." Twi was glad the element of honesty was given to AJ... "You suck at lying." Rainbow chuckled as she rubbed her leg, "Yeah I know but are we still good?" Twi sighed at the puppy eyed look Rainbow was giving her, "Yes we are still good."
Rainbow sighed still flying in place, "What she said really bummed me out, I mean us weather ponies have to work overtime to make enough rain to last during the coming drought that will happen in the future, it's a lot of work but I'm loyal to Equestria first and foremost, even if I have to work all year to do it!" Twi saw Rainbow glowing yellow. The crystal next to orange was lightly glowing as well, Twi touched Rainbow and the bright light happened again. When it was over Rainbow's wings had gold protectors on them with yellow lighting bolts in the middle where her wing bended, Rainbow noticed them, "These... are... AWESOME!"
Rainbow tested them out and she flew so much faster, "What are these things?"
"Rainbow Dash was it? How would you like to become captain of the best flight team in the world?" Rainbow flew around Twi looking excited at Eternity, "You can make me captain of the wonderbolts?!"
"That was twenty percent cooler then anything I've ever seen!"
Rainbow chuckled nervously, "I don't usually do hugs but for you I'll make an exception." Twi stopped hugging her, "Sorry about that but you also barely know us, why side with us?"
AJ who was still in the chariot scooted over to make room, Rainbow watched as Twi hooked herself back up to the chariot, "Get in Dash we need to go."
Author's Note
Here we get Daybreaker's speech to the world unlike Nightmare Moon who only told one town, I wanted to go bigger for Daybreaker to make it more impactful also Rainbow Dash was easy to write as, funny how they both are voiced by the same person but they are on the opposite sides of the board for me.
Twi landed just outside of Canterlot when AJ finished the story, "And after a while we sort of drifted apart, everypony moved away from Ponyville and I barely saw them, it was kind of lonely if I'm being honest, I miss our friends Dash, but I at least got to see you in the sky now and again." Dash hugged her, "I don't do mushy feelings but here's a hug."
"What does me being royalty change anything?"
"I guess that makes some sense. Continue." Twi tried not to chuckle out of nerves her friends flanked each side, "What are you doing?"
"Get on with your lives!" She shouted turning to everypony, Twi saw her red and yellow shimmering sun cutie mark, the unicorn's horn sparkled with light brilliant opal magic, daring anypony to deny her. They all went back to their lives and she walked up to Twi, "Hello and welcome to Canterlot your highness. I'm Sunset Shimmer."
"Oh yeah the whole world went into a spiral and everypony went crazy! The court wizards are trying to figure out a way to make it seem like night in the middle of the day so ponies can get sleep. It's not going so well but I believe in them to help everypony and every creature in the world."
Both Rainbow and AJ stepped forwards, "Howdy Sunset."
"No way... That is so... AWESOME!" Rainbow said squealing as she pranced in place, "I mean I knew you were cool but you just became the coolest friend ever! You got to teach me stunts from the past!" Twi chuckled nervously as AJ shouted, "Now hold on! You mean to tell me you were alive when my parents..."
"What was so important that you had to leave for a year?!"
"Wha... Is this an element of harmony?"
"You say potato I say tomato."
"You mean Queen Celestia the ruler of the day and can control the sun with ease, that Celestia?! I can see her being Daybreaker now..."
"I used to know him when we were young."
Twi was crying softly and all three hugged her, Sunset whipped Twi's tears, "Come on let's get you settled." Sunset managed to get them a luxury hotel, in fact all of them were fighting for Twi to stay at their hotel because if royalty stayed there they could advertise it like crazy. Sunset picked the best one and then all three had to carry Twi inside because she was just limp, the bedroom had a bed big enough for all of them. They put her down and then snuggled into her, Twi was shaking slightly as they held her to calm her down, she was still crying her heart out but calmed down and passed out. After making sure she was asleep Twi's friends joined her in sleep.
Author's Note
Yes I hear the fans shouting that Sunset shouldn't be here but you guys forget that it was Celestia who kicked her out so no Celestia no crazy plan to jump through the mirror, this Sunset is smarter having her parents to support her, and I will be adding in them sending messages to their families to explain why they left Sunset will just talk to her family, including her brother, what brother you may ask, well you shall see.
Generosity guaranteed or your bits back
Twi felt something poking her. It was kind of pointy but not to sharp. She slowly opened her eyes and a light mulberry dragon head with moderate pistachio serpentine eyes were staring at her, Twi immediately woke up yelling making the other three wake up, "Ugh... Ten more minutes..." Dash grumbled. "Much louder then a rooster crowing." AJ said as she yawned. "What's wrong?" Sunset said rubbing her eyes. "Dragon! Here in our room!" Sunset managed to look she saw the whole dragon, his light spring budish gray underbelly, his light lime green ear folds, and his moderate harlequin spikes going down his long body and in-between his wings.
"Oh that's just Spike..." Sunset said getting up, both dragon and pony were the same size, Twi then noticed a metal around the dragons neck that had a sun with a spiral in it. "What are you doing here Spike?"
He tackled Sunset in a hug as Sunset tried to stay standing, "Sunburst! What did I say about nearly tackling me to the ground?"
"See Sunburst I told you not to freak out she's perfectly fine." A female voice said and Twi watched as a pale light grayish heliotrope unicorn slowly trotted into the room, her mane and tail were a moderate purple with light purple and light grayish aquamarine highlights, she looked at Twi with wide moderate persian blue eyes, "See you were in such a rush you missed the alicorn in the room..." Her horn glowed a light turquoise as she dragged him back to look at Twi. "Oh my gosh you now what this means Starlight glimmer?!" Starlight sighed muttering, "Visiting royalty." Before Sunburst yelled, "Visiting royalty!"
Twi finally noticed that Starlight's cutie mark was a purple and white star with two blue glimmering streams before Starlight turned towards her, "Forgive my boyfriend he can be far sighted when it comes to things that are right in front of him."
"Hey relax everypony we can just use Spike, I enchanted his dragon fire to send scrolls to anypony you can think of."
"Anyway just write your family a message on these scrolls, tell Spike the pony to send it to, and he will think of the name before burning the scroll sending it on its way." Sunset said giving AJ and Dash a scroll and quill, she then looked at Twi who sighed lightly, "It's not that easy for me." After they wrote what they needed and Spike sent them on their way Twi nodded, "Alright is everypony ready to go?"
"Wait why are you pulling it?" He asked as he saw Twi going to the front, "I'm the only one strong enough and can fly who can pull it."
They all climbed into the chariot and Spike looked at them, "Where to now?"
All four followed him. Inside there was music, workers and Spike staring at a very light gray unicorn. Her mane and tail was moderate indigo with gradients of dark mulberry to moderate mulberry styled in curls, and her horn was glowing a very light heliotrope as she moved fabric pieces in front of her moderate azure eyes. She was even wearing light cornflower blueish gray eyeshadow, "No... No... Oh heavens no." Twi waved her hoof in front of his face but he kept staring. In fact everypony was staring at them, Twi chuckled nervously as she went to the unicorn, "Excuse me."
She said bringing gemstones to look at and comparing them to the fabric pieces, that's when Twi noticed her cutie mark three blue gemstones, finally the unicorn said, "Yes this is the perfect combination!" She put everything else away keeping one gem and one fabric piece, "Now how can I help..." She turned to face Twi her mouth dropping her eyes widening, "Oh my gosh... There's a royal in my shop... There'saroyalinmyshop!" She said very quickly as she started to run around reorganizing everything, finally she bowed in front of Twi, "Your highness welcome to Rarity For You, please forgive me for ignoring you! I'm Rarity."
Twi looked at Rarity while Dash whistled, "Geez Rare and here I thought you were too prim and proper for any sweaty work, you were almost as fast as me!" Rarity looked up at her, "Dash? Darling where did you get these?!" She asked using her magic to pull Dash's wing out to stare at the gold protector on it, "That yellow lighting bolt gem is simply stunning and the gold metal is simply divine."
"Rarity please stop yanking my wing!" Dash yelled and Rarity let go, "Oh I'm sorry darling it's just all your accessories are just beautiful!" She then noticed Spike staring at her, "Oh my..." She trotted up to him, "Well hello there handsome." Spike meeped before looking around then pointing to himself, "Are you talking to me?"
Spike's face turned red as he nodded like mad, Sunset glared at her, "Rarity we don't have time for this, we are on a mission."
Rarity dramatically fainted and Spike caught her, "All my hard work, all my generosity down the drain like soap suds in a shower!" Twi touched her when she began to glow and when it was over Rarity was wearing a golden choker necklace with a purple diamond shape gem in the middle, Rarity looked in the mirror and gasped, "Am I seeing things?"
Rarity looked at him up and down, "Ugh to much black, and those red eyes, what did you smoke a ton of weed or something? That magical mane, it looks like that episode of doctor hooves when he used his blue box to time travel, and those wings, they look ridiculous, all poofy and fluffy like that, what did you forget wing grooming or something?" She shook her head, "No, no, nope! I want you out of my sight!"
Twi remembered what the book on dragons said, the one thing that could take on a young alicorn was a dragon, even teenage dragons, their flames burned hotter then the sun's core, their teeth and claws can easily rip young alicorns to shreds, and when fighting for a mate they usually fight to kill, extremely dangerous do not engage! Rarity hugged Spike, "Oh Spike my brave knight, I knew you would get him to leave!" Spike blushed going back to his sweet self, "It was no problem. Anything for you Rarity."
"Spike are you alright?" Rarity said poking him lightly, Sunset scanned him with her magic, "He's fine, just went into a love coma. He'll snap out of it eventually."
Author's Note
So for those who don't know Brony Notion or sawtooth had a video that went into the theory that Sunset Shimmer, Sunburst, Stellar Flare and Sunspot (rename Solar wind because it does fit better) are a family, yes I know the wiki doesn't support this but I do also why is Starlight with Sunburst shouldn't she have gotten mad and started that cult town well again there is no Celestia so no school for Celestia's school for gifted unicorn's, so Sunburst didn't leave when he got his cutie mark they grew up together and moved together, at least that's how I think it would go.
My heart has enough kindness for all
When Spike finally woke up Dash and AJ were still going over how ridiculous the outfits were, "Look this one looks like a marsh, what are they doing, going to a swamp?"
"You take that back!"
Spike said shaking his head. Rarity helped to steady him as he looked around, "How long was I out?" "Minimum two hours." Sunset said steadying him on the other side. "Are you alright to move?" Spike moved his joints showing off his muscles making Rarity blush, "Yeah I'm good, let's get moving." Spike moved ahead and after everypony was in the chariot and Spike hooked himself in he took off, "So where to next?" "Well I've been thinking that it's awfully convenient that our old friend group is becoming the new guardians, so I've come to the conclusion that our last two friends are the other element holders."
Sunset said as Twi nodded, "Yes we talked it over while you were out, those two were laughing at outfits in magazines, and Rarity just got huffy until she snapped."
Rarity gently stroked his scales, "It's alright my dear, you stay here we will be back soon." She said before walking into the sanctuary with the others. The whole place was natural using nature to the fullest, animals were relaxing or eating in peace. They eventually spotted a pale light grayish gold pegasus, her long pale light grayish rose mane covered one eye, her tail just barely touched the ground as she was feeding baby birds in a tree. Her moderate cyan eyes noticed them and she meeped hiding behind her mane even more.
"Oh hello everypony... It's so nice to see you... What are you doing here?" She asked barely above a whisper. "Fluttershy this is Twilight Sparkle and she's here to test something out."
"Uh yes..." Twi said tilting her head, gosh she got whiplash from Shy's mood swings. First she's timid, then she's angry, then she's cautious but hopeful. "Oh okay... Um since Daybreaker has been keeping the sun in the sky I had to work very hard to help nocturnal animals sleep, they can get very cranky when they get no sleep, but I try my best to be helpful because spreading kindness doesn't cost anything." Both pendants crystal and Shy glowed green, a quick touch and Shy got golden hoof shoes on her front hooves with a green butterfly gem on each, "Oh goodness..."
"Healing as in the mage Meadowbrook pillar of healing?"
Twi looked in the sky, "And Eternity is coming." Eternity landed looking a bit rugged and tired, "You yellow pegasus you should be the easiest to convince. Your the element of kindness, would you kindly give it to me?" The animals were freaking out, "Um... Would you please..." She muttered the last part. "What was that?"
Shy was in his way in a second, "Don't you dare threaten my animals!"
Twi hugged her gently with one wing, "Hey it's okay even the sweetest of ponies have triggers, what was that you did though?"
Twi looked at the sun. Somepony used to have the same heart, could it be brought back? The rest of their friends joined them, it was a sweet scene as they walked to the flying chariot, Shy did freak out at the sight of Spike, "What's wrong?"
Let's bring laughter back
Spike landed in Rockville as Sunset finished, "And so when Pinkie is twitching you should listen." Twi's eye twitched slightly, "But that doesn't make any sense... Unless she's not a normal earth pony." They all got off and were greeted by a pale light grayish raspberry earth pony who was bouncing in place, "Well it's about time you showed up, the author really was making those Pinkie fans wait huh? Oh look! Now Wolfgoddess1990 is going to write about my poofy mane being brilliant raspberry and my eyes being light cerulean!" Um... "Opps, Pinkie you silly pony! You shouldn't speak about the script that's going to spoil the whole story and that won't be fun."
"Ugh hi my name is..."
"Just don't think about it to hard darling." Sunset sighed nodded, "Trust me I tried to logic Pinkie, I got so mad my mane burst into flames."
Twi touched her. The flash of light happened and Pinkie got body armor with a blue balloon gem on both sides, "Look see I got Somnambula the pillar of hope remade into laughter!" Pinkie then looked at the sky and Eternity landed as she watched him, "Oh your here!"
Pinkie said jumping to new locations each time Eternity tried to blast her. The others were watching and Twi spoke up, "Should we step in or..."
"Boop still it." Pinkie said poking his wing from around the other side of the rock pile. He looked quickly but she was gone again. He looked around at the other rock piles, he moved looking around them, being poked in different locations each time, and each time he checked and she was gone. "Are you playing tag or hide or seek?!"
"Your making no sense!" The jaws music started to play, "Sense?" She said popping up far away before vanishing. "Sense?" She said popping up closer. "Sense?!" She said popping up even closer, then finally she popped up right in front of him scaring him, "Sense! I don't need to make sense! TASTE MY PARTY CANNON!" She said pulling it out of the ether and hitting him with confetti. Eternity's eye twitched as he yelled trying to blast her but Pinkie vanished again and Eternity found himself in a giant party cannon and Pinkie blasted him away, "Soshite chīmudākunesu ga futatabi bakuhatsu suru!" She shouted as she watched him fly.
She giggled as the rest of the gang joined her, "Well that was fun, now we hug, have an epiphany, then... Opps almost spoiled it again!" Pinkie said pulling them all into a hug by stretching her front hooves, "Now wait for it..." The pendent glowed brightly. It flew off Twi's neck, the crystals shooting out their respective colors then coming together. It was so bright it was like a star. Finally the light landed on Twi's head making a helmet and crown in one with a white star gem in the middle of the crown. Twi gasped summoning a mirror to look at it, "I got the last element... Star swirl the bearded pillar of sorcery has become magic!"
Pinkie set off her party cannon making more confetti appear, "Now let's throw that gathering the guardians of harmony party!"

After the party was over and they cleaned up the mess, Spike took off into the sky, "I can't believe I was an element all this time." Said Twi.
Twi looked at her oddly, "Your saying strange things. Spike the castle is a little more to the left." Spike moved as Pinkie smiled, "Well also in the show your not the daughter of Selena. In fact Selena doesn't exist. Her name is Luna and she looks like a wooby, your the daughter of two normal unicorns, Twilight Velvet and Night Light. Your also the personal student of princess Celestia who needed one after Sunset Shimmer jumped through a mirror portal."
"Still that doesn't seem very safe, what if that portal opened to a dangerous realm!"
"You also have to carry a mountain of books, cram knowledge into your brain for tests, and hopefully at the end graduate, and maybe get a pointless job that also lasts eight hours for crummy pay!" Sunset shivered, "My gosh I'm so glad our schools aren't like that." Spike looked down wondering if he was going the right way, Twi also looked, "Try going a bit more North." Spike moved flying North. "Also Sunny you don't have a family! Your an orphan, and Sunburst isn't in a loving relationship with his girlfriend Starlight. She started a cult against cutie marks because he left her, she even used her magic to remove cutie marks."
Pinkie shouted dramatically, "She was coo coo, bonkers, crazy banana sandwich! Also Amore isn't alive and she didn't raise her daughter duchess Cadance in the crystal empire, plus the empire was gone for a thousand years because Sombra made it vanish!"
"Oh great, those stone golems won't move unless there is a threat." Spike came forwards, "What about me? I can be seen as a threat."
Pinkie laughed, "Hey that was a good joke."
"Try being a bit quiet! Fighting those golems isn't easy, they have the power to resurrect themselves and unless you crush their crystal heart they will always come back." Twi whispered as she looked around. Once the coast was clear they moved ahead. Dash was grumbling lightly but was staying quiet. They heard yelling and they entered the throne room, Daybreaker was yelling at Dark Eternity, "A bloody game of tag got you this time?!"
Daybreaker noticed Twi and her friends. "Element." She smiled, "Sombra we have company!" Sombra came into the room as Eternity whipped his bloody lip. "Ah if it's not my darling niece, you look different."
"Those miserable gems are nothing but decorations and soon they will be accessories to hang on my wall!" Daybreaker blasted her magic towards them and Twi put up a shield protecting them all. "Hmm, where have I seen this before? Let me think..." Daybreaker hummed some more as Twi strained against the blast, "Oh yes! I remember. This is just the way your mother looked before she was turned to stone!"
"Eternity foolishly told me we can transfer our elements to an Alicorn, let's give them to Twi!" Applejack stated focusing on Twilight. Her element gem glowed, Rainbow Dash did the same, as did Sunset Shimmer, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie pie. All their elements glowed as they transferred to Twilight and she felt a power surge. She looked at her friends, they were all passed out from exhaustion, she looked back at the three corrupted ponies, she tried to use the elements but they weren't doing anything. Daybreaker whispered something to the other two and they put their horns together and the blast gotten three times stronger.
Twi stood her ground but she felt like it was a losing battle. Then she heard her parents voice in her ear, "Accept who you are, your not just Twilight Sparkle." Twi planted her hooves and spread her wings out, "I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, alicorn of the stars and guardian of harmony! YOU WON'T HURT MY FRIENDS!" The gems glowed then moved to the crown, Twi finally connected to the stars, she grew bigger until she was the same size as her mother, her eyes became like a burning white dwarf star, bright and ethereal, her wings have gotten huge sparkling like comet tails, the armor looked better on her now more then ever.
Twi slowly walked closer to them as they tried to push her away with their triple beam, but she kept on moving forwards as if she barely felt the beam at all, "No, I won't go down like this, do you hear me? The day will last forever!" Twilight was lifted off the ground without flapping her wings and they stopped attacking transfixed by her. Finally the crown glowed and blasted them with a rainbow, they screamed until it was over. Twi floated back down looking completely drained, she went back to her previous form before the upgrade to adult alicorn, she managed to see that her parents were back to normal and as was Celestia and her family before completely blacking out.
Twi woke up surrounded by her friends, she slowly got up, "Hey girls... Don't worry I'm fine." "Well darling your not the only one." Rarity said moving aside, Twi saw Celestia talking with her mother, Stygian looking over Lucian for any injuries, and finally... "Chronos!" Twi cried as she ran towards him and tackled him to the ground. They both fell into a tangled heep on the ground as he chuckled, "Wow you really missed me." Twi kissed him like crazy as she hugged him deeply, "Of course I did, I was afraid to never see you again!" Chronos simply hugged her back, "I missed you too."
"Queen Selena has agreed to give the sun duties back to me. Of course after I make a public apology for the day lasting so long."

Buckle up there is still one more chapter!
And love makes it all complete.
It was a most historical day in Canterlot, a royal couple was getting married! And everypony was simply buzzing with excitement. In the kitchen Applejack was whipping up the banquet for the royal wedding but she wasn't satisfied with the flavors, "Dang nabbit, at this rate I'll use up all the ingredients trying to figure out what's wrong!" A light amber earth pony male walked passed AJ. She saw his grayish tangelo mane first then the tray he was carrying on his neck, it was filled with jars of something, "Hey you, what are you carrying?" He looked at her with his moderate cerulean eyes and AJ noticed his cutie mark was a caramel piece surrounded by what looked like a splat of chocolate.
The pony looked around before looking back at her, "Are you talking to me?"
Caramel blushed before bringing all his jars from home. He helped AJ in the kitchen, helping her add the extra flavors when necessary. The two were whipping up new food like cinnamon apple pie, pear cupcakes with vanilla frosting and caramel drizzle, and creamy orange mousse, he even made chocolate dipped strawberries introducing berries to the tree fruit farmer, who was surprised to learn they grew on bushes. "But you can't buck a bush!"
In the sky, Rainbow Dash was practicing her aerial show that she was planning to put on then a new pegasus joined her. He was a very pale cornflower blue with a dark grayish phthalo blue mane and moderate green eyes, "Hey your pretty good."
Dash was doing more stunts, until eventually Soarin joined her trying to copy her moves, "Hey not bad, but you have to practice these moves pretty hard to be as awesome as me."
At the guard barracks Sunset Shimmer was going over details of where every guard had to be, what their patrols looked like, making sure no blind spots were anywhere, "And so we will use the towers, pegasi only, that way you could fly out the windows in case of emergencies." A brilliant gamboge pegasus with a two toned moderate sapphire blue mane and tail came forwards. He looked at the map of Canterlot with vivid cornflower blue eyes, "That makes sense, maybe we should move the red squad here and green squad here." He said moving colored pieces around, "Red is better at being in the front, green can use their magic from the back."
Sunset nodded, "Orange squad and blue squad should go here."
Meanwhile Spike was bringing baskets of gems to Rarity who was working on the bridal attire for the bridesmaids, groomsmen, the bride and groom, "What do you think Spike, blue or yellow?"
In the gardens Fluttershy was working with her animals. She was listening to her bird choir and when they were done she sang a chord herself and her birds copied her tone, "Ah my dear, you still have the most beautiful voice." Shy was spooked slightly by the voice so she turned and she saw a dark grayish reddish brown unicorn with a black and white mane, tail, and beard, his cutie mark was arrows that were pointing in eight directions. He looked at her with brilliant crimson eyes and brilliant yellow sclera. "I'm sorry who are you?"
"Oh Discord is that you? You look so normal... I'm surprised you kept that up for so long."
Pinkie pie was working on setting up the reception area, well she called it the party area but who was she to argue over silly things like the name of an area. A light brilliant gamboge earth pony male came into the area, his poofy mane and tail was dark brown. "Hey this looks like fun!" Pinkie looked down and he looked back with his brilliant chartreuse green eyes. "Oh hey I know you!" She said jumping down, "Your Cheese Sandwich!" She said landing with a bounce. "You know what that means!"
"Hey now that the author added me in this story and I read the script, I know I'm supposed to help you set up this party and as an official party planner we can kick this party up to the extreme!" They both pulled out party cannons then laughed as they bounced around the area setting everything up. "Hey do you think the audience will catch all the little references and funny moments the author left behind?"
Finally it was time for the wedding! The cutie mark Crusaders were the flower girls, as they were still young enough for that role. Spike was next carrying a pillow with the rings on it, then came the bridesmaids who were the main six and the groomsmen who were their new crushes. Chronos gasped as Twilight appeared, her wedding dress was a soft lavender color, bismuth gems accented the dress, their rainbow colors gently sparkling in the light. On her head was a new crown, and her magical mane and tail still flowed like a galaxy. Twi stood next to Chronos and whispered, "Your mouth is still open." He closed it, after remembering to breath he said, "Wow."
They both looked at Dutchess Cadance, the alicorn of love, "Ponies of Equestria, today we celebrate the union of Princess Twilight Sparkle and Prince Chronos who, after some turmoil, can finally be connected for life! Can I have the rings please?" Spike held up the pillow and Cadance's very light cornflower blue magic aura grabbed the rings off the pillow and put them on Twi's and Chronos' horns, "I pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride." Both Twi and Chronos' kissed as their parents in the front row cried happily, the two happily waved to the crowd and eventually it was time for cake and dancing.
"Oh are you excited for the ending, I'm excited well not as excited when I went..." Pinkie gasped, "But really what could top that?"
