Chapter 31: The Spark

Above the Great Dam of New Ponyville, a vast and fiery battle was taking place. Many creatures in the large town can see the endless red and blue flames flying and clashing against one another. Explosions shook the air as they blasted against the yellow barrier that covered the dam and its mountain. Within the fires was a vast bomb, shooting out lasers and tiny bombs, while a dead-looking comet with a red eye unleashed red and blue stars that exploded. Among the sea of colorful flames was Fayth, who was flying and dodging the attacks from the two Breakers known as Star Breakers.

Fayth used her book to block an explosion and grit her teeth. Even though she was a powerful god-like being, she had trouble fighting these two.

"Star Breaker from 100% Orange Juice universe, one of the powerful bio-weapons created in Sora's universe. I shouldn't be having trouble defeating her but-" She quickly senses something and reinforces her barrier, blocking the other Star Breaker attack, who punched the barrier and blasted her away. She recovered and glared at her. "But Spark's sisters being in their Breaker form makes it more challenging. Especially since I can't get a good hit when Breaker keeps attacking me at such speed, they are making me on the defensive most of this battle." she tsk. "Stupid, strong like their sister, Spark. I can't even use that. Too much is going on!"

Fayth's eyes turned to the left, and she saw Star Breaker's cannon gun pointing at her. She was going to let it hit her, as she knew her barrier would hold up, but her eyes widened when she increased her barrier power as Breaker slammed into her with a power punch.

Damn it!"

"BREAKER!" screamed Breaker, digging her fingers into the barrier surface and pulling apart it with no signs of struggle. "YOU WILL BREAK!"

Fayth's barrier was down, and she cursed as Breaker grabbed her neck and rocketed themselves toward Star's Breaker cannon, which fired and blasted them. The cannon kept firing but was quickly destroyed as they rocketed out of the other end.

"BREAKER!"

"GET OFF OF ME!"

Fayth used her book and blasted Breaker off of her. She summoned her feather pen and tried to write in her book, but like before, her book refused her writing. She was enraged as someone was stopping HER from ending this battle sooner by ending these two fates.

"STOP GETTING IN MY WAY! THIS SHOULD BE OVER BY NOW. THEY SHOULD HAVE DIED ALREADY, BUT YOU KEEP STOPPING ME! WHOEVER YOU ARE! YOU BETTER PRAY I NEVER FIND YOU!"

"Fayth!"

"Huh?"

When Fayth looked back, her rage faded, and she became annoyed with Spark, whom she saw.

"What you want, cow!?"

Spark hovered near her and stopped. "Truce."

Fayth quickly turned her whole body and faced her, shocked at what she said.

"Truce?"

"Yes, truce. Fayth, I want to save my sisters, but I can't do it if Star Breaker continues with her ramage. It will be a struggle for me to get close to my sisters as they keep fighting each other."

"Oh, why should I help you?"

Spark smiled and crossed her arms. "My sisters are doing a pretty good job beating your ass, and if I have to say, it looks like you need help. What do you say, Fayth? Truce until my sisters and Star Breaker are down?"

Fayth growled, wanting to strangle her and make her regret her words. "You're lucky I can't end them normally!" She and Spark looked up, seeing Breaker and Star Breaker going at it. Fayth grits her teeth and quickly floats toward Spark, pointing at her. "YOU BETTER NOT TELL ANYONE THIS! ESPECIALLY NEVER BRINGING THIS UP WHEN WE FIGHT IN THE FUTURE! GOT IT!?!"

Spark smirked and put her hands behind her back, floating backward. "Oh, I don't know. Being able to tell others a powerful and almighty being such as you need a lowly and dumb cow's help, hmm, what a story."

"SPARK!"

Spark giggled. "Kidding! No one will hear it from my mouth, and if I did, well, you know."

Fayth's eye twitched. She reached out her hand, a handshake. "Fine, but remember, we're only temporary allies. So, when the time comes, we will return to being enemies."

Spark looked at her hand, seeing it was shaking in anger. She sighed, but she couldn't stop smiling. She reached out to shake it, but Fayth pulled her hand back and quickly slapped Spark's ample chest, making it jiggle.

"Ahh, fuck!" Spark hissed, holding her chest and glaring at Fayth, who smiled.

"There, the deal is set, you damn cow!" she faced away and glared at the fighting above. "So, you got a damn plan? Or will you continue acting like the stupid cow you are and not thinking ahead of your plans?"

"First off, stop insulting me. Secondly, I have a plan."

Fayth eyed her. "And that is? And don't even think of making me do anything stupid, or else I will personally end your sisters myself and then you."

Spark looked up, seeing her sisters. "I need you to distract my sisters. I can easily deal with Star Breaker real quick." She looked at Fayth, narrowing her eyes at her. "You better not kill them, you hear! I want to save them, so don't even think about it, or else I'll-"

"Yeah, yeah, don't worry. I can't end them normally. So, don't worry about them dying at my hands, but then again, who knows?" she laughed, but she suddenly felt a powerful aura and turned back, seeing Spark's eyes glowing rainbows.

"Don't you dare hurt my cute, precious, sweet, lovely, beautiful, innocent, amazing, gorgeous little sisters, or you will regret it!" Spark quickly teleported in front of Fayth, grabbing her by the dress and shaking her. "I MEAN IT! I'LL FUCKING END YOU! I BETTER NOT SEE ANY SCRATCHES OR DAMAGE ON THEM WHEN I COME BACK!"

"Oh, calm your large utters, damn cow! I'm not going to hurt them." Fayth shouted, surprised by Spark's sudden change in behavior.

"Swear!"

"Ugh, fine, I swear on the multiverse."

"PINKE PIE SWEAR!"

Fayth gave her a blank stare. "You can't be serious, right?"

"PINKE PIE SWEAR!!!" Spark repeated, shaking Fayth.

"FINE, GODDAMN IT!" she blushed as she did the Pinkie Pie swear. "Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my...eye!" she poked her eye, like for real, and she shouted in pain.

"Thank you...Fayth!" Spark hugged and then released her, smiling as Fayth rubbed her eye.

"Stupid cow!"

"Now, I'll stop Star Breaker, and you'll keep my sisters busy."

"And how long do I need to keep them busy? Because they can end me if I'm not careful."

"I don't know. I need time."

Fayth was worried about that, but she shrugged. "Alright, whatever, go do your thing. I'll keep them busy. Don't take too long."

"Thanks."

Fayth watched Spark shoot herself toward Star Breaker and then vanish, leaving her with the sisters, who just happened to be behind her.

"BREAKER!"

"...fuck."

Spark flew toward the vast bomb in the sky. She could see it firing its laser cannons from the sides. The red beams curved and headed toward her. She could sense the danger as her sights were still on Star Breaker. She dodged the vast red lasers, but Star Breaker released her missiles as she did so, which rocketed toward Spark. Spark dodged the first set and quickly summoned her magic missiles. They collided, creating large explosions that were blocked by the barrier.

Spark knew Star Breaker was watching her, and she wanted to show her who was in charge.

"I know who you are, Star! Suguri told me about you! You and Sora fought in the final days of that pointless war!" Spark kept dodging the beams while countering the missiles on her own. She was getting closer with each passing second. "But I also learned your true past! Tomomo told me after I asked her about you!"

Spark finally reached Star Breaker, floating near but not quite close enough. She could see Star Breaker having a crazy smile on her face.

"You must be Spark? The one I was meant to aid, but just by looking at you, I can see her! This is wonderful! I have always wanted to fight Sora again, even if it's a pretender! So, let's continue fighting! You won't disappoint me, will you!?"

"Sorry, Star Breaker, but I'm not Sora, so this battle won't be what you're hoping for. So, sorry to break the news."

Star Breaker's eyes flashed in a mix of happiness and disappointment. "Oh, so sad, but at least we can still fight! Come on, show me what you got!"

Suddenly, tiny laser beams shoot out near Star Breaker, along with long metal chain-like devices that unleash purple laser spheres. Spark quickly dodges them as Star Breaker laughs and unleashes her full power.

"I'll enjoy breaking you, the way you move around my attacks! YOU PRETENDER, YOU MOVE LIKE SORA!"

Spark kept dodging but firing rainbow magic beams at Star Breaker, hurting her. This went on until red bombs were released from the glowing red and blue lights that were near Star Breaker's open cockpit. The small bombs blew up, but the shockwave pushed Spark, and she quickly covered herself in a barrier, stopping the damage. She gritted her teeth and growled as she flew toward Star Breaker again.

"I won't lose!"

Star Breaker laughed harder as she flew higher and faster away from Spark. Spark knew Star was doing the same laser and missile combo attack again. She knew Star's strategy and could see her next move. She quickly fired more lasers and countered the missiles by teleporting through them.

"Not again!" Spark shouted. She felt this was a trap, but it didn't matter.

Spark was back with her foe but was surprised to see bombs with colored red or blue X's on them, snapping and connecting to the main bomb. Soon, the fuse of the bombs was blazing lit.

"What is she doing?"

Spark didn't need to wait when those x bombs opened and unleashed red and blue flames in an x pattern.

"Oh, sh-"

Spark quickly teleported and flew around the flames, seeing Star Breaker laughing.

"You'll never beat me! Not in a million years, not a million billion!" Star laughed, unleashing the attacks from before, making Spark dodge like crazy. "I'LL BREAK THIS PLANET! I'LL TURN IT TO ASH!"

Spark grits her teeth, angry at her. She teleported again and was ready to give a massive punch. She flew faster and was going to reach Star Breaker in a second, but she was forced to stop as the x bombs were released and quickly headed her way. She didn't have time to do anything and took the self-destruction bombs.

"AAAAHHHHH!!!"

BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!

Spark screamed as she felt the blast of the explosion, feeling her whole body burning in red and blue flames. She struggled to open her eyes, looking ahead, seeing Star Breaker releasing her missile silos from the vast bomb. They fired off and slammed into Tomomo's yellow barrier, being stopped by it. They push forward, wanting to be free from their cage.

Spark knew what kind of missiles those were, the ones that would make a massive explosion that would end the world and create a nuclear winter.

"Damn it, no!"

"HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!! YES! THIS WORLD WILL BREAK NOW, SPARK! AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!"

Spark screamed and blasted through the flames and rocketed toward Star Breaker with her eyes glowing bright rainbows. Soon, her horn started to glow and teleported the missiles away and back behind Star Breaker, now heading toward them. Star didn't care. She summoned small red and blue UFO-like dishes, which unleashed more laser beams. Star made the same attacks as Spark blasted her way through, getting closer to her.

"LET'S SEE YOU HANDLE THIS ONE!"

Spark could see the blue lights behind Star's body start to glow and charge. Spark didn't need to guess what kind of attack Star would unleash. She kept going, not slowing down. She could feel the enjoyment of flying and fighting as she flew faster and faster. She felt challenged, as if someone was trying to prove her wrong, but she would show them what she could do.

"BRING IT! I'LL BEAT YOU IN TEN SECONDS FLAT!"

Star Breaker cackled, unleashing the most significant laser cannon attack, and as Spark got close, the silo missiles rained down around them. Spark pulled her arm back and swung violently while her horn glowed brightly.

Everyone below them and far from the damn could see it, a bright rainbow flash. Then, a bright white flash followed by a massive explosion.

"Oh my Celestia, look at that!"

"This is amazing!"

"Who's winning?!"

"Is this the end of the world?!"

"No, the barrier is still up, but look!"

The massive explosion contained within a magical rainbow bubble. The bubble started to shrink rapidly until the once massive death explosion was nothing more than a small pop, ending in a small and harmless explosion. Star Breaker and her massive bomb were gone, along with Spark...

Only for Spark to teleport in front of her family and friends, holding Star Breaker by her collar. She had a cocky smirk on her face while Star Breaker looked at her, shocked at her sudden appearance.

"W-what?"

"Like I said, ten seconds flat!" she dropped her and started a victory dance(which was just Twilight's awful dance moves). Spark felt showboating, rubbing the lost in the stunned Star Breaker's face.

Everyone quickly turned to Rainbow Dash, who noticed them looking at her. "What?"

Twilight and Twilah blushed, seeing their daughter doing their awful dance in front of everyone.

"WHAT!? WHY!? I'M STAR BREAKER!"

Everyone, even Spark, turned to Star Breaker, seeing her having a mental breakdown.

"I'M THE BLASTING FUSE TO THE WORLD'S END! HOW DID SUCH A PRETENDER BEAT ME? I SHOULD'VE WON!"

Star Breaker screamed, repeatedly slamming her fists into the ground, making a crater around her...then to everyone's shock, she started to cry.

"I can't believe this... I am supposed to be capable of breaking stars...how can I not burn off just one fake pretender? I'm...Star Breaker..."

Spark quickly felt saddened for her, knowing her story and past. She walked over to her, kneeling.

"I know why you're like this, Star Breaker. Suguri and Tomomo told me your history. I understand you, being a bio-weapon made to end the war and even the world but burning down the planet—this one and the one from your universe. That isn't a war anymore." Spark stood back up, looking up at the red sky, seeing Fayth keeping her sister busy. She eyed Fayth more. "My powers are meant for fighting in the war against Fayth...but my war is one of protection!" She looked down at Star Breaker, giving her a determined but soft smile. "I'll protect all the stories and sparks within everyone from a sad ending! That's my mission!"

With that said, Spark teleported away, leaving Star Breaker with her eyes widened as she glared at where Spark once stood.

Soon, Star remembered a memory from the past...

Star Breaker started to laugh like the crazed monster she was. Everyone was on guard or creeped out by her laughter.

"yOU ArE hEr! yOU ArE sOrA! I wILL mAkE thIs IntO thE bEtwEEn yOU And mE And End It! sOrA! cOmE bAck hErE! fAc-huh?"

Star Breaker stopped as two pink hooves held different tasty treats in her face. Both Pinkie Pies were staring at her, offering the snacks to her.

"You hungry, dear? How about you try these tasty cupcakes!" Penny suggested, smiling.

"Or, you want a nice double chunky chocolate cookie!?" Pinkie Pie offered, holding the tasty sweet.

Star Breaker stared at the two Pinkie Pies, looking at their offerings. She didn't know how to feel but knew what these were. She felt her stomach growling and knew she was hungry. She reached for the sweet treats, grabbing them. She happily ate them, enjoying the excellent taste. Finally, she calmed down and forgot about Spark.

Tomomo sighed, then looked at Suguri, who looked back at her. She winked, as she was the one who told the two Pinkies of Star Breaker's sweet tooth.

Fayth was blown back, her black cloak damaged, and her hood was off now. She was breathing as she glared down Breaker, who was breaking down more now; her slime body was melting more than ever.

"Damn it, cow! Where the hell are you!? You beat that annoying girl, so where are yo-" She couldn't finish as Breaker was already almost on top of her, going to punch her.

Fayth had no time to react. She only flinched as the fist approached her, but then it stopped. Breaker stopped, her fist a mere inch away from Fayth's face. Fayth and Breaker could see who stopped the attack,

"Of course, you appeared to show off," Fayth growled.

"I wasn't showing off," Spark answered with a severe look, holding her sister's wrist, but she faced Fayth, smirking. "Okay, maybe a little, but I'm not letting her kill you. Even you don't deserve a fate like that. Now, get far from and recover. I'll deal with her!" She could feel her sisters trying to free themselves from her grip.

Fayth was shocked, "Recover? Why would you want me to recover? We will be back being enemies after you deal with your stupid sisters! You know this is the perfect time to kill me! What are you playing at!?"

"I'm not playing. I want you to live! I don't want to see you getting hurt!" Spark explained.

"WHY!? WHY THE HELL DO YOU WANT ME TO LIVE!?"

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, YOU FUCKING IDIOT!"

Fayth was shocked, as if she had been hit with lightning, and felt pain in her heart.

"...no. I wanted the real her to stay that to me! Not you!" Fayth cried, "You're not her! You're just a shitty copy and a fake! So, stop trying to be her and stop trying to care for me!"

Spark's expression turned sad. "Fayth, I don't understand it myself, but a part of me, deep within me... I love you...no." She corrected herself. "She loves you; a tiny piece of her is still here, and I feel that love for you." She placed her other hand on Fayth's head. "So, for her." Fayth could feel herself being blasted away. "Live."

Spark quickly returned her attention to her sisters. She narrowed her eyes at them and let them go. Breaker floated slightly backward and glared at her.

"Blitz, Braver! Stop this rampage now!" Spark's expression became a happy one. "I know why you are mad because Fayth was going to kill me. So you forced your way out of my core to protect me. Protect your big sister." Spark's happy expression became a happy, smug one as she blushed. "My little sisters are so adorable~! Protecting their big sister like that!" she started to scream excitedly.

Breaker blushed a mix of anger and embarrassment.

"BREAKER," Breaker growled, her cheeks still red.

Spark noticed that they blushed and screamed even more with happiness.

"Awww, you are so adorable!" Spark rockets toward them, wanting to hug them, but Breaker punches her but is shocked to see Spark isn't fazed.

"Breaker?!" Breaker gasped.

Spark ignored the punch and hugged them.

"I BEEN SO HAPPY! YOU TWO LOVE ME SO MUCH!" she swung them around, causing them to feel dizzy. "I can't help but hug you! You are so cute!"

Breaker felt embarrassed but didn't struggle, knowing their sister wouldn't let go of them. She didn't care. She didn't want her sister's warmth to leave her. Some of her felt happy being treated like this, but another part was annoyed at their sister's reaction.

"Sister..."

"Let go of me!"

"Never~!"

Spark giggled. Happy to hear Blitz and Braver's voices breaking through.

"We will end you!" Breaker screamed, getting free and using its full power to punch Spark in the gut. They smirked, but they were stunned to see Spark laughing.

"That tickles!" Spark faced away, blushing. "How did you know big sister was sensitive there?"

"B-BREAKER!?!?"

Breaker was red as she pulled back. She shook off the feeling, became enraged, and tried again, but it was the same thing. Spark giggled and smiled.

"Stop it, you two!" Spark begged, feeling her sister's punches. "S-stop, please~! I'm very sensitive there~!" Spark kept giggling but soon realized that Breaker stopped attacking her. She opened her eyes and became heartbroken.

"B-Breaker..." Breaker cried, rainbow tears falling out of her eyes.

Spark realized that her sisters were sad because they were giving it all to hurting her, and she just laughed it off. She reached her hands to them and pulled them into a hug, crying with them.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me."

They wanted to hug her but stopped her. They gave Spark one last punch, hitting Her in the gut. Spark felt it; it didn't hurt her, but she looked at her sisters. She didn't want to hurt them again, so she faked it.

"UGH!" She shouted in a fake pain.

"Breaker?"

Breaker blinked in confusion but quickly had a smile on their face. They punched her again, making Spark fake it again.

"Gah!"

They started to punch her harder, making their sister feel more pain. Soon, they began to laugh, thinking they were winning against her, but they missed her face when they tossed another punch. They became confused to see their sister acting like she was hit but wasn't.

"Ugh! My little sister's punches are too strong! How can I win against them?"

"Brea...aker...What...you doing, sister?"

Spark looked at Breaker and smiled. "I'm losing against you! You are so amazing. Big sis is proud of you." But she noticed Breaker was crying again, and Spark panicked again. "D-DON'T CRY! WHY ARE YOU CRYING!?"

"Because we are not winning against you. You are just faking it. We want to win, not be tricked and lied to!" Breaker closed her eyes and screamed at her. "WE HATE BIG SISTER!"

Spark floated there, stunned and heartbroken to hear her sisters say they hated her.

"Blitz... Braver...I'm sorry... I'm sorry I can't lose, but I can't hurt you...I just can't..." Spark smiled sadly at them, tears forming in her eyes. "I lost you once before, and I'm not going to lose you again."

Breaker looked at her and then at their hands, seeing it shaking.

"I...we...are Star Breaker...despite that..." they started to cry and sob. "What...are our powers even for..."

Spark felt even more heartbroken seeing her sister like this, but she quickly became worried, seeing them melt even more and now screaming.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

"SISTERS!?"

Breaker stopped and started to laugh as they slowly looked up at Spark. "That's right. We are...Star Breaker!" she gave a twisted, crazed smile. "The breaker of worlds! Stars! UnIvErsEs! EvErytHIng!" She spread her arms up, making the comet's eye float down to her. It shut its eye and connected with Breaker.

Spark became filled with fear and worry. She had seen this before. Even Sky confirmed it as the Element of Loyalty exited from Spark's jacket and hovered near her.

"BLITZ! BRAVER! THEY ARE GOING TO EXPLODE AGAIN! LIKE WHAT HAPPEN BACK IN OUR UNIVERSE!"
Spark and Sky saw flashes of the rainbow explosion, remembering how it killed the world in a flash. They quickly snapped out of their flashback and back to their current situation.

"My flames...will cover the whole planet...sister! EVERYBODY!..." Breaker started to give off an unstable rainbow aura. "DIE!"
Her whole body and the comet started to glow with a bright rainbow aura. Cracks and a beam of light shot from the comet, hitting Tomomo's barrier and quickly scattering it.

The orb with unfit pieces flew out of Spark's jacket and spoke with all four Element's voices. "Spark! We still have time to stop it! You need to get near, and we will handle the rest, but hurry!"

"RIGHT!"

Spark didn't waste a second, racing towards Breaker and the Comet. She saw her sister laughing and crying, and her heart ached.

"This is my fault. I caused this. If only I stopped them from giving their lives...NO" Spark wasn't going to be filled with any more regret, and she wasn't going to lose her family again. "I'm coming, sisters!"

Spark finally reached her, holding her down as the orb with unfit pieces floated near her, along with the Element of Loyalty.
Loyalty started to glow bright, charging the unfit Element, slowly making it into a perfect and completely stone orb. Spark touched it, hearing her friend's voice one last time before they vanished.

"This isn't goodbye, Spark. Just see you later. We will be part of Braver."

"I know." Spark smiled, holding the orb tightly.

Spark closed her eyes and shoved the orb into Breaker's chest. She pulled out and could see her mother floating near the hole. Sky stopped and turned back to Spark.

"Take care of your sisters and yourself, sweet pea." Sky floated into the hole but stopped again. "But not in that way!"

Spark blushed hard. "M-Mom!?"

"I mean it! What was that back there!? You acted way too odd with your sisters! Why were you blushing!? You better not be-ugh!? HEY!?"

Spark tried to push her mother into the hole, as she didn't want to have this conversation right now.

"Mom! Just get inside! We don't have time for this!" Spark blushed harder. "BESIDES! LOVING MY SISTERS DEEPLY DOESN'T MEAN I WANT TO DATE THEM!"

"WHAT!? SO, YOU ARE ADMITTING IT!?"

"I NEVER SAID THAT!"

"BUT YOU JUST SAID IT!"

"GET IN THERE MOM! YOU ARE MAKING ME SUPER EMBARRASSED!"

"I'M THE ONE WHO'S EMBARRASSED!! MY DAUGHTER'S PERVERTED!!"

"I'M NOT!"

With one final push, Spark shoved her mother into the hole, but she didn't want to let go as she cried. She could hear her mother's voice.

"You got to let me go, sweet pea. If you don't, you won't get your sisters back."

Spark held the Element tightly. "I know, but...I don't want to lose you!"

Sky sighed. "Sweet pea...I'm not really your-"

"YOU ARE! YOU WAS THERE FOR ME! ALONG WITH THE OTHERS! I WAS ALONE IN THAT EMPTY WORLD OF MINE! I WANTED A FAMILY AND FRIENDS! ALL SIX OF YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE AND BROUGHT ME AWAY FROM THAT LONELINESS! YOU ARE MY MOM. EVEN IF YOU AREN'T BIOLOGICALLY MY MOTHER, I DON'T CARE!"

"Sweet Pea..."

"I CAN'T LOSE ANY OF YOU! I LOVE YOU!"

"I love you too, sweet pea...but you know what you must do..."

Spark sobbed as she knew her mother was right.

"Besides, I'll be in Blitz, asleep. I'll be waiting for someone important to come along. I'll be back. I promise." She could tell Spark didn't understand; maybe that was for the better. "Now, do what you do best."

Spark closed her eyes. "Moving forward."

Spark slowly released her grip and watched the hole close up. Spark didn't have time to cry anymore as she could see her sister's body freaking out and becoming purple and blue. Breaker screamed in pain. Spark pulled her sister out of the comet and looked up at it. She could see it wasn't stopping in its explosion.

"Oh, no! Even without those two, the comet is still going to explode! I need to do something fast, or everyone and everything on this planet will be doomed!"

Spark thought, and then an idea popped into her mind. She looked at her sisters, seeing them now passed out. She blushed as she found them sleeping to be super cute. She quickly shook her head, telling herself to focus.

"I don't know if this will work, but..." Spark leaned in and kissed her sisters on the forehead, not knowing if even she could survive the powerful blast. She placed her forehead on theirs, crying. "But if I die, just know I love you two so much! We aren't blood-related, but allowing you two to feed off of me, allowing you two to live, I see you two as my precious baby sisters. Something that needed to be protected." Spark pulled away, smiling at them. "Now, I'll do that again for you and everyone here! I'll protect this world and everyone in it, the world you allowed me to see! So, please, don't blame yourselves if I don't make it. I'm doing this for my friends, family, and ...you."

Spark gave them one last kiss before letting them go and teleporting them away back to everyone else.

"And for me."

Spark quickly turned around and glared at the comet.

"I won't let the past destroy the future! My sisters and I might be weapons, but what we do with our powers is our choice. I will protect my sisters, family, friends, and this planet. Even if I lose my life."

She closed her eyes and opened them. Now, her eyes were glowing with a bright rainbow star.

"SHIELD, INVERT!"

Spark's horn created a large rainbow bubble shield around her body and quickly engulfed the comet, making her float under it with no protection if it exploded.

Spark smiled, looking up at the comet. She could see the rays of rainbow light being stopped by her bubble. She was able to trap it, but she might not survive it.

"Blitz...Braver..." Spark closed her eyes, feeling and hearing the comet finally explode. "Mothers...everyone...Dawn..." She saw flashes of Fayth, but the memories she saw weren't her own. She could see Fayth so happy and cheerful. It made Spark cry, knowing that Fayth wasn't like that anymore. "...Fayth..."

"SHIELD, INVERT!"

"Huh?"

Spark opened her eyes and saw a blonde girl reaching out to her before a bright light covered her vision.

Twilight, Dash, and their human counterparts held Breaker, slowly becoming two beings instead of one. Twilight and everyone looked up, seeing the bright flash and how quickly it came. It also promptly vanished, leaving the sky empty. Soon, they could see something. A rainbow halo flashed and headed toward the red sky, and with a bright flash, the red sky was gone, and the beautiful blue sky was back.

"...Spark...did it!" Sunny cheered as everyone started to cheer along with her.

"But where is Spark!?"

Everyone turned to Dawn, who was trying to search the sky for her love.

"WHERE IS SHE! SPARK!?"

Everyone looked back to the sky, and Dawn was right. Spark was nowhere to be seen. That's when everyone knew Spark might be gone.

"SPARK!" Cried Dawn, dropping to her knees and crying.

Everyone looked at her but soon looked over to Twilight, Dash, Twilah, and Dashie, who looked up at the sky and slowly down at their daughter. Their two daughters, Blitz, who was naked in her human form, and Braver, back in her Alicorn pony form, were in their arms. Their daughters were back. All four held them tightly and started to cry.

"Blitz!" cried Twilah and Dashie.

"Braver!" cried Twilight and Dash.

"Daughter's, " they said, crying. "Your sister, she saved you and us, but..."

"Oh, don't cry over for that cow."

Everyone could see Fayth standing a bit far from Twilight and the others. She was looking up, almost like she was waiting for someone.

"That cow will always find her way back, one way or another. So, stop crying. It's stupid."

"How would you know!?" snapped Dashie, getting everyone's attention. She was crying still. "And why are you acting like you care!? You came here to kill Spark and everyone here! Why are you acting so nice!?"

"Nice? Me?" Fayth scoffed, crossing her arms and still looking up at the sky. She whispered to herself, seeing something. "Why should I be nice to an awful rewrite of my friend?"

Before anyone could say anything more to her, the area lit up as a rainbow-filled area. Everyone looked up, seeing a rainbow star. As it got closer, it landed in front of Twilight and the others. The light was gone, and standing there was Spark, who was breathing hard. She took a step but quickly turned around, looking at Fayth.

"Stupid cow, go to them. I can wait." Fayth said, waving her off.

Spark smiled in return and looked back at her family. She could see her sisters sleeping in their mother's arms. She took another step.

"Blitz..." she could see her sleeping and looking annoyed.

"Braver..." she could see Braver moving a bit, wanting someone to confirm her.

Spark started to walk closer to them. Crying even more.

"Sisters..." She looked at all four of their mothers, seeing them open their arms and welcome her in.
"Mommy's."

Spark ran into her mothers' arms, crying and laughing as she hugged them. She cried more when she heard their voices—saying her name while hugging them even harder. She stopped as she felt struggling between them. She smiled as she saw her sisters trying to wiggle out of the hug. Spark quickly held them and was between them now, sobbing.

"We can be together! All three of us!" Spark sobbed, kissing her sisters' cheeks.

Everyone watched on, crying, smiling, and happy to see such a heartwarming scene. On the other hand, Fayth looked away and glared, not liking the scene.

As Spark was holding her sisters, her rainbow jacket started to glow. The purple part slowly came off and returned to Blitz and Braver, covering them and becoming their purple jackets again. Spark saw this and smiled. This confirmed that her sisters were indeed back. She wanted to say something special, but she quickly felt something and moaned a bit.

"Uh...sisters!?"

She could see them groping her chest; she blushed as she couldn't be happier as she remembered way back then when they were a tiny black slime and were hungry. She allowed them to feed off her magic, keeping them alive and giving them life. It was a sweet memory, but that was all gone now. She wanted her sisters to feed off her whenever they wanted, but she remembered where she was and looked up and saw everyone confused, stunned, whispering, or asking her what was happening.

She could see her mothers' faces, shocked. She quickly let go of her sisters, which caused them to reach out to her, not wanting her to let go.

"Wow...that ruined the moment..." Sunny whispered.

Wallflower blushed deep red. "...I think we shouldn't tell Blitz what happened here, right?"

Both girls looked at each other, nodding. They then turned to Lucy to see if she agreed, but they were stunned to see her drooling as she was drawing something in her notepad.

"Lucy?"

"Blockhead is always going to be blockhead..." Cozy said while laughing. But she faced Dawn, who was looking confused. She knew why. Dawn loved Spark and Braver, so her feelings conflicted to the point she dropped to the ground, holding her head in pain. "Dawn!"

Dawn's head was in pain, and her mind felt like it was going to shatter. Her memories were mixed with someone else's. The two Dawns were fighting for control, and neither was backing down. She wanted to remain, but Dawn didn't want to disappear.

"Dawn and Luster."

"Huh?"

Dawn looked up to see Spark, who had a worried look on her face. She helped her up and hugged her.

"You fused...how? I ensured that wouldn't happen with the magic I'm casting around you all!" She shook her head, realizing it didn't matter. She needed to undo the fusion. "I can overcome anything. This will be no problem to fix." With that said, her horn glowed, and soon, with a bright light, Luster flew out of Dawn, and Cozy caught her.

"Spark...?"

Spark leaned away and was going to smile but froze at what she saw.

"D-Dawn!?"

Dawn stood in her arms, but she was still in her anthro form. She noticed it, too, and blushed.

"What the fuck!? What the hell is happening!?"

Spark said nothing...only her wings did something as they shot up and stood firm. Dawn slowly realized what she was looking at and looked away.

"S-SPARK! YOUR WINGS! WE ARE IN PUBLI-"

Dawn was cut off as Spark kissed her, making her close her eyes and return the kiss. They kissed for a few seconds, and Spark pulled away.

"I missed you."

Dawn blushed even more and quickly wrapped her arms around her. "I MISS YOU, TOO!"

The two pressed up against each other, happy to be together again. But as they were doing this, Lucy glared but wasn't at their faces. She was looking at them. She glared at their breast, pressing up against each other, and she touched her chest, feeling jealous.

"Lucy..." Tempesta whispered, feeling secondhand embarrassment.

"I-it's fine. I'm just glad they're back and safe. Nothing more."

"I-if you say so..." answered back Tempesta, unsure.

Fayth had enough and shouted at Spark.

"ARE YOU DONE YET!?" she pointed at her, unleashing a powerful dark aura. "WE NEED TO FINISH OUR BATTLE!"

Spark let Dawn go, who wanted to join in the fight, but Spark forced her back with her magic. "No, this is my battle and mine alone!"

"Horse shit!" Dawn shouted but quickly looked at all the ponies and anthro ponies in the group. "...Sorry!"

"It's ok?" they all shouted back, unsure why she was sorry.

Spark looked back at her sisters and mothers. She nodded at them, telling her mothers she would be back. Spark teleported everyone away with a quick flash of magic, leaving only her teacher and those who came with her.

"You sure you can handle her alone, Spark?" Suguri questioned, stepping forward. "When I fought her, she had a-"

'I know. Don't worry. I fought her before, so I know."

"I-I see. Still, be careful."

"Right."

Fayth looked at Spark, who teleported right in front of her. The two had a staredown, neither wanting to back down.

"Ready, cow?" Fayth asked, taking a stance.

"I'm not a cow. I'm an alicorn."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever."

Spark took a stance and couldn't help what Suguri told her. She knew what Suguri wanted to warn her but she already faced it before. That's when Spark couldn't help but remember back...

Twilight and Dash walked over to each other, sitting in front of each other and talking.

"Twilight."

"Dash."

Dash looked down nervously as she tapped her hooves together. "I just wanted to say..." She shook her head, took a deep breath, and looked at Twilight, blushing. "Twilight, I know you said you just wanted to be friends, but I-I..." she started hyperventilating and had tears in her eyes. "Twilight, I-" Dash couldn't finish as Twilight held her cheeks.

"Dash, look at me! Just look at me and listen!" Twilight ordered, making Dash do as she was told. "Look, Dash, I-I...I didn't know how to say this, and I thought saying it as a friend would be easier..." Twilight had tears in her eyes. "I thought it was much easier, but it's not. I thought we couldn't work out, as we were broken. I know what we are feeling is just because we are both ponies who are using each other to cope and that we're lonely. And that we should remain friends, but I-I just can't. I want to be more than friends."

Dash couldn't believe it and started to cry. She struggled to speak, but even if her body wouldn't let her talk well, her heart would push through. "T-Twi, I-I love you. I-I want to be your marefriend, but I-I thought you would never feel the same, and I-I couldn't bear that but..." She smiled as she was happy Twilight wanted to be more than friends. "I'm glad you feel the same! I know we both will have problems and bumpy roads. B-but we can do it. I know we can! I want to move forward with you! I'll protect you from that hard road!"

"Y-you think so, Dash?" Twilight questioned, looking away from her.

"I know so!" Dash said, making her look back at her.

Twilight closed her eyes, smiling even more. "I might fail you or myself, but I don't care. It's not the end of the world. I'll keep moving forward!"

"Right!"

"Dash, no matter what happens, I will always be by your side and won't stop being there."

"And I won't stop being by yours either."

The two slowly leaned in, their lips close to touching.

"I love you."

"I love you, too."

The two kissed as their eyes were closed, enjoying the warmth of the other. They held each other's hooves, never letting go.
Everyone smiled, happy for them. Rozelle smiled as well, but she turned to Alice, who was looking away. Trying her best to look away. Rozelle, having seen Alice's sadness, walked over to her.

"...!" Alice could see Rozelle was getting closer to her. She wanted to move, but she couldn't. She tried to run away and leave, but she couldn't. She couldn't bear looking at Rozelle.

"Hey."

Alice didn't want to look, but her eyes slowly moved towards Rozelle, seeing her standing before her, having a small smile on her face, and holding two letters as she held to her chest.

"I...I-I'm sorry."

Alice was confused when she heard that. "Huh? For what?"

Rozelle steps closer. "Letting you leave you like that. Even though you were carrying all that guilt and pain, I just stood there, not doing anything, as you ran off. I was processing what you said, and I was angry at-"

"At me? I know!" Alice shouted, facing away from her. "I took away your friend! Your legs!" she slowly eyed her, ashamed of herself. "Your dreams. You said you were a star runner, but not anymore, right? Because of what I did to you!" She looked away, remembering Cadence and her parent's deaths. "What I did to my family! To all those hurt or killed because of me! So, you have every right to be mad at me! To hate me!" she quickly looked at her, no longer fighting back her tears or pain. "To hurt me! Please do whatever you want from me! I don't care what you do to me! But I will never stop trying to make it up to you! To the world! No matter what happens to me! Rozelle I-I..." Alice couldn't handle it anymore and closed her eyes. She wanted to cope so badly that she started to scratch her arms through her jacket's sleeves, cutting her skin and bleeding. "I don't deserve any happiness. But you do! I want you to be happy! I want you to get your legs back! To have your dream back! I'LL DO ANYTHING TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU!"

"Alice..."

Alice became frozen, hearing Rozelle's heartbroken voice. She opened her eyes and looked at her, becoming heartbroken as she could see Rozelle crying.

"Why?" Rozelle asked her, making Alice even more confused.

"W-why?"

"Why are you so caring? You have all this pain and suffering, but you are still thinking of others. Even now, you're thinking of me!"

Alice wanted to say something, but nothing came out. She just looked down, closing her eyes. She wanted to cry but could not find tears to fall.

Rozelle steps closer again. "Alice, I don't hate you. I hated myself for letting you go. I kept you away from me because I didn't want to lose you, too! I'm not going to lie. I'm mad, but I can't blame you, Alice. I don't blame you at all. I-I..." She stopped as she couldn't hold it anymore. She fell forward, making Alice open her eyes, seeing her fall towards her.

"ROZELLE!"

Alice quickly caught her, making sure not to hit the ground. Alice was shocked to hear that Rozelle hugged her.

"I love you! Please don't leave me! I love you so much! Alice!"

Alice was stunned. She didn't know what to do or say. She slowly reached out to hug Rozelle but noticed that she was striving and shaking.

"Alice...I..."

Alice didn't hug her. Instead, she removed her jacket and placed it around her, hoping it would keep her warm. She stood up, realizing she wanted to say something to her.

"Rozelle, I need to work on who I am. I know I won't forget the past, and I know that I can't forget what happened or what I did. But...but I'm going to work on moving forward. I-I still don't know why you like me or why you don't hate me. Like, I'm trying to understand. It's common sense to be mad at someone who took away something you love."

"Common sense, maybe. But I can't hate you. You're not a bad person. I know you aren't."

Alice shook her head. "No, I am. Even if it was Fayth who pulled the trigger, I was the one who built the gun. I need to take responsibility for what happened. And that's why until I feel like I'm good enough to be with you, I'll work on making the world a better place and making up for what I did. Be the person you deserve to love because I love you, Rozelle!" Alice smiled at her.

Rozelle could feel her face blushing even more, her heart beating faster, and her tears even more. But she was happy. Alice wasn't pushing her away. "Alice..." she suddenly looked better at Alice's body. She could see that both of her arms were covered in bandages and scars. Alice indeed suffered, and this hurt Rozelle so much.

"But please don't cry. Don't cry for me, ok?"

Rozelle quickly got up and kissed her. Alice was stunned, not knowing what to do. When she realized what was happening, she couldn't stop the tears from coming. She closed her eyes and returned the kiss.

"I love you, Rozelle."

"I love you, too."

The two girls held each other's heads, their foreheads pressed against each other. Their hearts beat faster, and their tears flowed.

"But I want to give you something," Rozelle said, handing her a letter that she had written thanks to Violet.

Alice took it and was going to ask what the letter was about, but everyone could hear clapping and looked up.

"Isn't that sweet? All the love in the air! Makes me want to puke!"

Standing above them, floating, was Fayth, who looked down at them, laughing.

"Fayth!"

Alice glared, making sure the letter was safe and close. She and the other three knew that the group that helped them was correct.

"Spark was right about you, wasn't she!" Alice shouted.

"Oh? About what, exactly?"

"About everything! You caused our suffering, didn't you!?"

Fayth smirked all the more. "Yeah, and? So what?"

"S-so what? SO WHAT!?" Alice was livid. She couldn't believe it. "You made me kill my family! All those people who died from the EMP blast! You took Rozelle's legs and friend! How could you do that!? Why would you do that!?"

"You know why," Fayth answered, making the four realize her goal. They wanted the multiverse to end; that was her goal. That was the only truth she ever told them. "This multiverse and those that came before were born from my rewrites. It's been a cycle of rebirth and destruction. I don't even remember how many times I rewrite this awful multiverse, and I'm done. It's time for this multiverse!" Fayth rose her arm up, blasting the ceiling of the shrine.

Everyone looked up, seeing the vast, dark, negative energy Fayth had collected from the four kids.

"EVERYTHING! TO END AND I'LL WILL DO IT BY WRITING THAT TRUE ENDING!"

Fayth slowly absorbed the energy into her book and raised her other hand, unleashing dark shadow versions of herself at the group.

"GET THEM!"

Alice looked up, seeing the dark clones coming down, and knew they couldn't run, but she was saved by Cloaked Twilight, who teleported the four kids from the danger and reappeared behind them.

Everyone drew or ready themselves for a battle, but Blind Dash stopped them.

"No! We can't fight her! She's beyond anything any of you have ever faced! We need to escape and find Spark! Only she can deal with her!"

She could see everyone was going to protest, but Cloaked Twilight stepped forward, seeing the shadow clones getting up and slowly hovering over them.

"No, Dash is right! We stand no chance against a god, a goddess of fate! We need to run! I'll hold-"

Snake and Brigitte pass Cloaked Twilight, taking a battle stance.

"Huh? What are you two doing?"

Snake out her rifle and spoke. "Buying you some time to run! You can't die here!"

Brigitte looked at her wheelchair update and saw it was done. She smiled and pressed the button. Soon, the wheelchair started to turn to black dust and stormed around her. The chair was made of nanomachines, and a black power armor was quickly built. The visor closed shut as she spoke.

"Hell, it's about time." she faced Cloaked Twilight and the others. "Get the hell of here! We hold them off as best we can!" she returned to the shadow clones and raised her hand forward, and the nanomachines created an assault rifle. She started to fire at the shadows, hitting them.

Cloaked Twilight didn't hesitate and ran to the others, telling them they were leaving.

"LIKE FUCKING HELL!" T2 screamed, drawing her sword and saying she would join Brigitte.

Brigitte reloaded and faced T2 as she was running toward her. "ARTEMIS! STAY WITH T2 AND FORGIVE YOUR MOTHER WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO!"

Artemis was floating near the others and knew what her mother would do to T2.

"T2!" Brigitte shouted as her visor went up. "In the name of the human race and last remaining human! I ordered you to override your free will! Protect everyone else! FOR MANKIND!" she did pose while Snake was firing her rifle.

"What!?" T2 asked, having stopped running, seeing her systems overriding as the primary purpose was to protect and service the human race. She could see Brigitte's helmet closed shut.

Brigitte's helmet covered her face as her visor showed her T2's eyes. She saw that she was in a daze, unable to think or act independently.T2 quickly turned around and ran back to the group, protecting them as they escaped; Cloaked Twilight and Blind turned back, seeing the two holding off the shadow clone and, soon, Fayth herself. They didn't want to leave them, but they did.

Fayth landed and clapped. "Heroes to the bitter end, I see. Matter Snake, a version of Twilight Sparkles and Solid Snake." She turned to Brigitte, who fired at her, but the bullets didn't harm her. "Brigitte Raynor, a version of Rainbow Dash and James Raynor. You two truly take after your prime selves, you know that, right?" Her body slowly started to be covered in darkness. "So don't disappoint me then!"

She charged at them, and they did the same, knowing that this would be the end for them, but they didn't care. They needed to buy some time, even for only a few seconds.

Meanwhile, everyone was running down the branches and back to the entrance inside of the tree but stopped. They could see a rainbow star rocketing above them but soon took notice of them. It landed, revealing it was Spark.

"Everyone!" she could see everyone was okay but noticed the four kids holding each other. She saw they were saved and smiled, happy the folks she brought helped them.

Spark soon understood what had happened, and she was happy that they retreated rather than staying to fight Fayth. However, she needed to hurry and save the two who stayed behind to buy their group some time to escape. She also needed to do something else first. Spark took her book and opened it. Soon, many rifts opened.

"What's going on?" Elly asked, seeing the rifts and looking into one. She could see her home, her universe.

"I'm sending you all back to your universes! It's too dangerous to be here, and you did what you needed to do!" Spark turned to the four kids, smiling at them. She faced the others. "You need to return home and continue on your stories. Continue and be the heroes you are."

"But what about the multiverse ending? We can help!" Violet pleaded, wanting to help her.

Spark shook her head, telling them not to worry.

"I won't let her end the multiverse! She won't get her hands on the Book Of Elyndra!" Spark raised her hand, telling them it was time to leave.

Everyone turned to each other, saying their goodbyes. They wanted to say much more to each other but had to cut it short as Fayth's shadow clones arrived and got closer. They all turned to the kids, smiling at them. Each of them tells them constantly to keep moving forward.

Alice and the other three nodded. "We will! Thank you! Thank you, all of you! We promise that we will not stop moving forward!"

The thirteen heroes smiled and said their last goodbyes. Soon, all twelve jumped into their rifts, disappearing. The only ones to stay were T2, as she was still under command override, Artemis, and Amelia, who looked into her rift and saw AJ's farmhouse.

"That isn't my universe, Spark."

"I know. But I can't send you back into your home universe without Aaira and Little Star! You all need to be together because the moment you return, there is a good chance that the universe's time difference will speed up again, and you won't be able to return home. Honestly, it's odd that everyone's time difference slowed to a crawl...why?" Spark shook her head; she didn't have time for that question. "Just return to that universe for now, okay?"

Amelia nodded and jumped through, disappearing as the rift closed behind her. Spark looked over to T2 and undid the command override. She was surprised to see T2 running back where they came from, but Spark stopped her.

"No, you need to go home!"

"SCREW YOU! THAT BASTARD NEEDS ME! I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE HER ASS BEHIND!"

Spark sighed. T2 reminded her too much of Dawn, and she didn't know if that was good or bad.

"T2 listen to me, you need to return home, R9 needs you. You didn't kill her! She's in a deep sleep right now, within that white tower. Please, you have to return and save her. Your world needs you."

"I..."

"Don't worry, I'll save her!"

T2 tsk and cursed out loudly. She turned to Artemis, pointing her sword at her. "Listen, pod...I mean Artemis. Smack your fucking mother in the ass for me! Got it!"

"Y-yes, T2."

T2 jumped into her rift, leaving them alone.

Spark turned to the four kids, smiling at them. She opened a rift in their universe but quickly created a barrier around them as Fayth's clones clashed against it, scratching it like wild animals.

"You four need to return home! I can't protect you and fight them off! Hurry!" Spark pointed to the four rifts.
Rozelle faced Spark, worrying about her. "B-But what about you!? Can you really beat Fayth!?"

Spark was going to answer, but someone else answered for her.

"She can't."

They all looked to the shadow clones, seeing them absorbed into Fayth as she carried Snake and Brigitte's hurt bodies. She tossed them toward the barrier, making them smack into it. The two slid down it, revealing they were poorly hurt but will live.

"They held their own for a while, but that's only because I was toying with them. Now." she looked at Alice, eyeing her with a lustful grin. "Come here, Alice."

Spark glared and moved her body in front of the four kids. She didn't care if Fayth was a goddess of fate. If she wanted Alice, she would have to fight for her.

"You won't have them, Fayth!"

Fayth laughed and pointed at Alice. "You can keep the other three; they served their purpose, but Alice? No, she still has more dark energy to give me."

"And what makes you think I'll give her up?" Spark asked, ready for anything.

"Oh, you're not, but I'm going to have her one way or another."

Everyone was stunned, not knowing why she wanted Alice. "Alice, who still had enough dark energy to feed me. She still had some use for me." She moved closer to the barrier, and she scattered it with a flick of her finger.

"FAYTH!" Spark screamed.

"Spark, what are you doing!?" Alice screamed.

Spark was charging at her, but Fayth didn't seem to move. She just stood there, smiling at her as darkest erupted out. Spark was caught off guard by what was happening to Fayth. She could feel unbelievable power coming from Fayth now.

"Fayth?"

The darkness ended, and Spark and the others were shocked by what they saw.

"F-Fayth!?" Spark said, not believing her eyes. "WHAT DID YOU DO!? WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOURSELF!?"

Standing there was the same Fayth, but her dress was pure white now, while her cloak was still black. What really shook everyone were the black horns that came out of the side of her head. She tore her book into two and was floating near her.

"I told you I was going to write that true ending, and I need her and a bit more energy." Fayth raised her hand.

Spark realized it now. "Even with all that dark energy you gathered, it will never be enough to immediately open the way to the Tree Of Elyndra. You absorb it and will now force your way inside, right? You need more energy, but why only Alice?"

Alice stepped closer to Spark. "Because I'm the best source of dark energy. I killed so many people because of her. It will always haunt me to the day I die. That is why. It's also why she chooses me..."

Spark gritted her teeth, pissed at how Fayth was using Alice like that.

Fayth smiled and lowered her hand. "So you catch on, Alice. You're smart as ever for a version of Twilight Sparkle's human counterpart." She chuckled. "Still a stupid-" Fayth was gone. Spark looked around and quickly turned, seeing Fayth holding Alice by her neck. Spark was going to charge but she felt something was wrong and looked down, she could a hole in her stomach. She dropped down in pain. "Girl. So naive and innocent."

"SPARK!" the three other kids screamed, seeing her hurt and on the ground.

"She's finished. " Fayth raised her hand, and the split book appeared and pointed at Rozelle and the others. "Alice, give me more! MORE OF THE DARKNESS!" she fired a dark beam at them, making Alice scream in fear for her friends.

The beam landed in front of the three kids, and Twilight flew off the vast treetop with a powerful blast. The explosion knocked her out, and she fell to the ground below.

"NOOOOOOOO!" Dash screamed as she ran to the edge and saw Twilight's body racing to the ground below. She needed to do something and fast, and so she did. "TWILIGHT!" she jumped off and fell with great speed.

Dash started to imagine the flames burning her, but she remembered what Twilight told her to keep focusing on her. She did so, but she needed to save herself.

"I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE IT!"

Dash needed to go faster, so she opened her wings and flapped as hard as she could, and finally, she was going faster.

"YES! YES! I CAN DO IT! I CAN DO IT! I CAN MAKEEEEEE ITTTTTT!"

Soon, a rainbow cone was forming in front of Dash. She noticed it but didn't care, didn't care if she will burst into flames again, all that matter was saving Twilight.

"I'm almost there!"

Soon, Dash broke the cone, doing a Sonic Rainboom. Her wings burned a little, but they were fine, and Dash was still flying. She was shocked that she had done it—she was doing it and saving Twilight. Dash flew down to Twilight, grabbing her and carrying her back to the tree top while a rainbow halo soared crossed near the tree. As she held her, Dash cried out to Twilight.

Twilight sat alone in the darkness. There was nothing but darkness, but she soon saw a rainbow flicker. She stood up and walked closer to it, and as she did, she heard a voice.

"Twilight!"

Twilight felt something within her. She felt the spark ignited inside of her. She felt it when she realized how happy she was to hear Dash's voice.

"Twilight! Please wake up!"

Twilight walked closer, wanting to hear more.

"Dash!"

As she approached the rainbow spark, her cutie mark finally appeared and glowed as the Element of Magic awakened within her. The Element blasted away the darkness, allowing Twilight to reach the spark...

Twilight opened her eyes, seeing Dash's worried face.

"Twilight!?"

Twilight blinked her eyes a few times and smiled at her, crying in happiness. "Dash..."

"YOU'RE ALIVE!" Dash hugged her tightly, crying and laughing. "I THOUGHT I LOST YOU!"

Twilight didn't say a word. She hugged her but saw a blue glow over Dash's shoulder. She smiled, seeing that Dash had gotten her cutie mark as well.

Twilight broke the hug and asked what had happened. Dash explained what had happened and was almost back to the top of the tree. However, Dash's trauma and fear quickly returned as she felt her body burning up. However, they quickly faded as Twilight held her tighter and said something.

"When I heard your face, I realized how happy I was. You made me happy, Dash. And that is why I want to help you. We will get through this together. So don't be scared. I'm here."

Dash felt her body cool down and hugged Twilight, crying out.

"I love you, Twilight."

"I love you, too, Dash."

The two arrived back in time to see Fayth standing over Rozelle, ready to kill her as she was feeding off of Alice's darkness. Darkness that is made up of negative energy like fear and hopelessness. They could also see Spark still hurt, but she was healing her wound.

"Stop it, Fayth! Please don't hurt them any more! You did so many awful things to them, and now, you're going to do more? You're sick!"

"I am the goddess of fate and the multiverse, and I can do whatever I please, Spark!" Fayth glared at her, giving her a twisted smile. She was about to kill Rozelle when a bullet and laser round hit her face. It did no damage, but she became pissed. "You dare." She faced her attackers, seeing Snake and Brigitte back up and awake. Artemis joined her mother's power armor and started to fix the damage. "If you two really wish for death, then so be it!" She fired a colossal beam at them. "DIE!"

Snake lowered her handgun and took out the letter Otacon wrote to her.

"Dear Snake.

You said you wanted to do this, but saying this is your final mission, and I'm worried you won't return. I'm sorry, but I won't let that happen. So I am writing this letter to remind you to come back home. Sunny needs you and wants to spend your final days with you. I need you! So please, Snake. Come home to us.
Ps: I left you a gift. Don't tell Sunny."

Snake closed the letter and placed it in her pocket. She didn't want to let her down, but she feared it did as the black beam got closer.

"Well, If I'm going to die, then I'm going out in style." Snake took a pose and smirked, waiting for the end to come...

"NO!"

The black beam was deflected and sent flying above them. The one to stop the attack was Spark herself. She was standing there, her eyes having the rainbow star. She could feel hope coming from Snake, Dash, and Twilight. It was somehow giving her strength. She glared at Fayth.

"I will not let you hurt them, Fayth! I won't allow it!"

"You can't stop me, Spark. I'm even more beyond you. When will you learn?" She stopped, realizing Spark was gone. She soon fell, her hand empty. "No, it can't be!" She turned around and saw Spark holding Alice, Rozelle, Snake, and Brigitte. "HOW!?"

Spark smirked at her, feeling the challenge of fighting Fayth. She became smug about it, "Well, I guess I am a match for a so-called goddess, huh?" She burst out laughing, seeing Fayth's pissed-off face. She set everyone down and reopened the rifts. "Hurry! Get out of here before-"

"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK ANOTHER WORD, SPARK!" Fayth roared and charged at her. "GIVE ME BACK THAT GIRL!"

Spark created another barrier, stopping Fayth from reaching them.

"WHAT IS THIS!?" Fayth couldn't break the barrier this time, making her confused and more pissed. "I'll destroy it! I'll kill you, Spark!" She tried again, but the barrier held on. "How are you able to hold against my power? It can't be. It just can't!"

Spark turned to them again, pointing to the rifts. "GO!"

Brigitte, thanks to Artemis controlling the power armor, nodded. "Good luck, soldier." and walked through the rift and disappeared as it closed shut.

Snake was next as she limped her way to the rift but stopped. She turned around and tossed Spark something. Spark caught it and realized it was a considerable sugar stick. "Eat that when you beat that brat's ass! You can beat her. I can tell!" Snake winked at her and went into the rift.

Dash and Twilight looked at the two rifts, wondering why there were two. Were they wrong that they weren't from the same universe? But Spark shot down that idea.

"You two are from the same universe; you must go where you were pulled. Don't worry, I know you'll find each other again. Your sparks will show you the way." She gave the two a kind smile and hugged them. "Be safe, you two." She kissed them both on the cheeks and sent them on their way.

The two girls walked through the rifts, leaving only Alice and Rozelle. The two looked into the rifts, seeing that it was nighttime in their universe now. Alice turned to Rozelle, trying her best to hold her tears in.

"I'll find you again! I promise!" Alice walked over and kissed her, surprising Rozelle. They kissed for a minute, and the two broke it, blushing.

"I'll be waiting, Alice."

Alice nodded, and the two held hands as they faced the rifts. They were about to jump in, but Spark spoke to them.

"Listen, you two, my sisters were adopted by your alt-universe versions of yourselves. Those versions were friends but soon revealed their love for each other when a rainbow comet appeared in the night sky." Spark gave them a big smile. "Look for that comet! You will find each other again because of it!"

The two nodded and faced the rifts. They slowly let each other hands go and walked through the rifts, disappearing as it closed behind them.

"It's over..." Spark whispered, seeing the dark prime tree gaining its rainbow colors again.

"SPARK!"

Spark looked at Fayth, who finally burst through the barrier and grabbed her by her neck. She began choking her as they rocketed off the tree top and headed toward the white water below.

"I'LL KILL YOU! I'M SICK OF YOU MESSING WITH MY PLANS!"

Spark was choking, not able to breathe, and unable to do anything to stop Fayth. Fayth slammed her to the ground and crushed her, creating a large crater.

"I HATE YOU! I'M SICK OF SEEING YOU! I'M TIRED OF YOUR STUPID FACE! IT'S TIME TO DIE, SPARK!" Fayth was going to stomp on her, but her bare foot stopped when Spark held it back. Fayth became more enraged, pulled her foot free, and kicked Spark in the face. Sending her flying far away from her. "HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO STAND AGAINST ME!? WHEN I'M IN THIS FORM!? NO ONE IS SUPPOSE TO BE A MATCH FOR ME! NO ONE!" Fayth growled as her body glowed with her dark energy, and a massive dark aura surrounded her. She glared at the hurt and barely standing Spark, and her anger grew, and her eyes were glowing with pure white hate.

Spark stood there, barely staying awake after getting kicked in the face. She could see Fayth getting closer as her vision became blurry.

"I'll kill you, Spark. I will."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Shut up."

"No."

"SHUT UP!"

"Don't let your sadness and hurt drag us down with you, Fayth! Be stronger than this!"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Fayth raised her hand, charging a dark energy ball, aiming it at her. "I AM STRONG! YOU STUPID COW!" Fayth was about to fire it when her form disappeared. The energy ball poofed out of existence, and Fayth stood there, shocked and confused. "W-What?"

Spark smiled. "Looks like it worked..."

Fayth sent deep daggers at Spark when she heard her. "What you did to me!?"

Spark stood up straight, putting her hands in her jacket, smiling. "You admitted that you didn't have enough energy to open the way to the Tree of Elyndra. You also needed more to force your way inside. So, I figured you were running on a time limit, and if I could distract you long enough, making you waste your energy on me, you would be forced to turn back to your regular self." Spark smiled and laughed, seeing Fayth's shocked face. Spark became smug. "Guess you're not as powerful as you thought."

Fayth growled and stomped the ground, breaking the earth and cracking it. Water shoots up from the force. "I AM! I AM! I WILL SHOW YOU!"

The two faced each other off in a stare-down: Spark, ready for a fight, and Fayth, prepared to kill. As Spark stood there, a glitching prism rift opened behind her.

Spark felt dizzy as she fell forward and landed on the ground. As she lay there, she could see white sneakers walking by her.

'Who the hell are you?" Fayth asked, seeing the new person who stood between her and Spark.

Spark slowly looked, seeing an anthro unicorn mare wearing a white puffy jacket and black sweatpants. She could see the mane was black with a hint of purple.

"Me? Well, you already know me, Fayth, the fallen watcher!"

Fayth had no idea who this mare was. "Do I know you? You're not one of the authors, so who are you?"

The mare started to do some warm-ups. "Nah, I'm not those losers." She stopped and pointed to her. "I'm something much more! Something more deadly!"

Spark finally lost consciousness and could hear the mare's last words.

"I'm going to stop you from writing your true ending! That's what she hope for!"

Spark soon gained consciousness and slowly looked around. She could see the battle had taken place. She stopped on Fayth, who was severely hurt and standing on one knee. Spark could see the mare from before dusting her hands.

"So, that's where she is! Thanks for being such a big help, fallen watcher!"

Fayth tried to move, but she couldn't. "What are you talking about!? How is beating my ass helping?"

The mare ignored her question and opened the glitching prism rift. She was about to enter but turned to Fayth. "You will understand in the future, trust me. Besides, we will meet again real soon." she waved goodbye and entered the rift, disappearing into it.

"Who the hell was she!?"

Spark got back on her feet and walked to Fayth, worrying about her.

"Fayth, are you alright? What happened to you?"

"Like you don't know!"

Spark looked at her, confused. "Huh? What are you talking about?"

"You brought that stupid mare to beat me!" Fayth stood up. "Can't deal with me, so get someone to do it! COWARD!" she clutched her hand into a fist. "SHE WILL NEVER DO THAT! YOU DAMN WORTHLESS CLONE! YOU AREN'T EVEN A REAL PERSON! JUST A FAKE! A PRETENDER! THINKING YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON BUT NO!" she pointed at Spark. "YOU ARE JUST A CLONE OF YOUR MOTHERS! HELL, EVEN YOUR SISTERS! YOUR LIFE IS MEANINGLESS YOU FUCKING COW! YOU'RE NOTHING! YOU STOLE YOUR SISTERS LIFE AND THINK YOU ARE THE HERO HERE!?" Fayth laughed, and Spark felt hurt by her words.

"You are wrong! I'm not nothing!"

"YOU ARE! YOU WERE CREATED IN A LAB, OR DID YOU FORGET THAT? YOU WERE CREATED, NOT BORN! YOU HAVE NO REAL SELF! JUST A CLONE TO BE MADE INTO A WEAPON! YOU'RE NOTHING. YOU'RE A JOKE!" Fayth smirked and continued. "YOU CAN'T EVEN BEAT ME! A GODDESS! YOU WANT TO HELP OTHERS, BUT YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELF! WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN BE ANYTHING!?"

Fayth could see the despair in Spark's eyes as she started believing her words.

"N-No...I'm not a clone...I'm me...r-right?"

Fayth smiled, knowing she had won.

"No, you're not."

"Y-You're lying."

"Am I?"

"You have to be!" Spark fell to her knees, feeling weak but trying to understand herself. Was she really just...nothing, a pretender?

Fayth felt so much joy as she watched Spark suffer but the more she looked at her, hurting, something within her felt...sad. Fayth didn't understand. Why would she feel sorry for Spark? Spark was an awful rewrite of her true friend, but why did Fayth feel bad for hurting her?

"Y-You're...You're right. I'm not real." Spark cried, falling more into despair.

Fayth's smile turned to a frown, and her heart hurt. She faced away from her, not wanting to deal with her anymore. She needed to recover her wounds. She was about to leave but fell over, landing on the ground. She was too weak to stand again.

"Damn..."

She could hear footsteps and saw Spark looming over her. Fayth smiled.

"Do it! End me right here and now!"

Spark glared down at her. "I won't! I would have ended you long ago, but I'm not like that kind of mare, Fayth."

"Just kill me, you worthless piece of trash!"

Spark shook her head and walked away, surprising Fayth.

"You showing me mercy!? ME!? AFTER EVERYTHING I DID TO YOU!?" Fayth felt betrayed, confused, and angry. "HOW COULD YOU NOT HATE ME!?"

Spark didn't say anything, leaving her to be alone.

"STUPID COW! YOU WILL REGRET SHOWING ME MERCY! I'LL SHOW YOU! I'LL GET MY REVENGE! I'LL DESTROY YOUR LIFE! JUST WAIT! I'LL TURN YOUR WHOLE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN!"

Spark didn't say anything; she was walking away, feeling nothing, a hollow shell of what she once was.

"Is she right? Am I not real?"

Spark opened her wing and flew off, returning to Equestria, seeking help from her sister's mothers. Fayth kept cursing at her, even when she was gone from her sight.

"SPARK!"

"Spark!"

Spark opened her eyes, seeing Fayth in her dark form and looking pissed off.

"You fucking cow, were you daydreaming!? While we are about to fight!? Really!?"

Spark blinked, not answering her. This made Fayth even more angrier.

"Are you going to talk or not!?"

Spark stayed quiet, but instead of being in her battle stance, she stood straight up, looking at the confused Fayth.
Fayth glared at her more. "Not in a talking mood? So be it! Better this way, I don't want to hear your annoying voice anyway!"

Spark looked down at her book. Fayth's hands became giant claws and charged at her.

"DIE!"

Fayth swung her claws, ready to strike down Spark, but Spark just stepped to the side, dodging it easily. Fayth growled and swiped her other claw, but Spark dodged it. Fayth kept swinging and swinging, trying to land a hit, but Spark moved, avoiding her.

"STOP MOVING!" Fayth screamed, charging at her, and tried to ram her with her horn, but Spark dodged it with a quick move and a simple spin. "HOLD STILL, DAMNIT!"

Fayth was trying to understand why she was not faster than Spark. She recovered and gathered more dark energy, so why did the new form not overwhelm her opponent? Fayth charged again and swung her claws, and once again, Spark just dodged her attack.

"Why is this happening!? WHY!? DIE!" Fayth tossed her book, but Spark caught it and tossed it back at her. Fayth caught it, and she was wondering as she stood back up. "Why aren't you fighting back!?"

Spark just stared at her.

"Say something, you cow!"

Spark finally spoke. "I'm not going to fight you, Fayth." she raised her hand to her. "I don't want to keep fighting you. Please, let's stop this madness."

Fayth stood there, looking at Spark's hand. She wanted to grab it but also hated her. Her anger took over, and she swung her claws, trying to hit Spark, but she dodged it, causing her to miss.

"No! Only one of us will survive! So, stop being a coward and fight me!"

Spark just shook her head.

"NO! FIGHT ME!"

"I will not, Fayth."

"DO IT!"

Spark looked at her sadly. "Please, I know your friend wouldn't want this, Fayth. " She reached out to her again, hoping she would take her hand. "Let's end this together, Fayth."

Fayth looked at Spark's hand. She just glared at it and finally smacked it.

"Fight me, or I'll kill your stupid sis—" she froze, feeling something was wrong. Spark was still standing in front of her, but she had the most enraged look she had ever seen Spark have. What scared Fayth even more was what Spark held in the hand, the one she smacked away. "H-How...?"

In Spark's hand was Fayth's arm itself. Bleeding out, and it was broken, crushed, and torn apart. Fayth stood there, looking at her broken limb, unable to process what had just happened. Fayth fell back and landed on her ass, holding her bleeding stump of an arm, crying and screaming in pain.

"HOW!? HOW YOU GOTTEN SO POWERFUL!? MORE POWERFUL THAN ME!?"

Spark tossed the limb back to Fayth, still giving her a death stare.

"You can hurt me all you want, but don't you dare threaten my SISTERS!" she screamed, blasting out a powerful rainbow aura. "I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU, BUT IF YOU DARE TOUCH THEM OR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS, I WON'T HESITATE TO KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!"

Fayth looked at Spark. Fear and sadness filled her body. She had lost, and she knew it. Fayth had no strength to fight. She grabbed her limb and walked away but stopped and spoke one last time.

"You won this one, Spark, but next time, I'll make sure you won't be around to save your pathetic sisters and mothers! Next time, you'll wish you never crossed my path!"

With that, she was gone. Spark calmed down, sitting on the grass, and sighed.

Lauren and the others walked up to her and were going to congratulate her on beating Fayth, but they didn't. They could see Spark crying. Lauren lowered next to her, asking what was wrong.

"My hopeful student, what's wrong?"

Spark didn't look at her, just looking at her hand, seeing the blood still on it.

"Fayth! I didn't mean it! I didn't mean to hurt you like that! Please, I didn't want to threaten you. Please forgive me. Please, come back, Fayth."

Lauren sat next to her, patting her shoulder.

"There, there, dear student, don't cry."

Spark hugged her teacher, crying in her chest.

"Teacher, something within me...cares about her so much! Even after everything, I still care. Why!? WHY!?"

Lauren stroked her mane, soothing her student.

"Oh, dear, you are caring. That's how you are, and you can't change that."

Spark didn't like that answer, but she had to accept it.

After a while, Spark told them about what happened back at the prime tree and being here. After she explained everything, Lauren gave her students a task to do.

"Spark."

"Yes?"

Lauren smiled warmly, as a mother would. "Go be with your family and friends. Enjoy being with them for a while. You need a break from all this."

Spark looked at her teacher and nodded.

"Thank you, teacher."

Spark took her leave, opened her wing, and flew away, heading back to New Ponyville. She wanted to see her sisters so severely.

Tomomo wondered about what Spark had told her, about who had saved her when the comet blew up.

"It was her."

Tomomo turned to her left, seeing Suguri, who was smiling.

"You also brought Sora here? Why didn't you tell me?"

Tomomo shook her head. "I didn't, Suguri. I didn't revive Sora...but it's a surprise to hear that she saved Spark." she went back to wondering how Sora was alive again.

As Tomomo tried to figure that out, she noticed Lauren standing beside her. Noticing the puzzling look on her friend's face.
"You okay?"

Lauren kept looking at the blue sky. "...A mare unicorn dressed in white...can it be?"

Spark could see the tree library, and she remembered where she had teleported everyone near. She could see a few of her friends outside, waving at her. She landed and hurried inside. She kicked down the door, seeing everyone inside surprised but happy to see her. They all pointed upstairs to Braver's bedroom.

"I'm coming!"

Spark darted upstairs, and once again, she burst down the door. She was breathing hard, her eyes wide, as she looked inside the room. Sitting together in the bed were Blitz and Braver. The two were surrounded by their mothers and the ones who loved them.

Blitz waved at her. "Hey! I told you not to worry!"

Braver nodded. "See! We found a way to stay alive!"

Spark could feel her tears falling and rushed over to them, jumping into the bed. She hugged them and kissed them. Blitz became annoyed.

"Sis! Stop it! Acting like Braver! A siscon!"

Braver was happy she was being spoiled and loved by her big sister. She cheered. "Woo-hoo!"

Spark stopped and sat down on the bed, sniffing and crying.

"Don't you ever do that again, you two!"

"What?" Blitz asked, "Die?"

"Yes, please."

"I can't make any promises." Blitz joked.

"I can come back alive, though! I'm part slime still!" Braver laughed.

Spark couldn't help but smile and hug her little sisters again. She was just so happy they were back...but she noticed that Blitz was wrapped up in a blanket. More than Braver.

"Blitz, you okay!?"

Blitz blushed as she hid more under the blankets. "Y-Yeah...just cold!"

"Blitz is naked! I don't know why she's hiding when we Equestrians are always nude," explained Braver.

"Shut up, Braver! You know why!" Blitz yelled, turning redder.

Spark eyes were hidden in darkness. She touched the blanket, and with one great pull, she pulled off the blanket and was greeted by the sight of Blitz's naked body.

Blitz was stunned by what her sister did. "S-SIS!?" she covered her nude body with her arms.

Spark had a pervy smile when she saw her little sister like that. She grabbed Blitz and pulled her into her chest, squeezing her as she rubbed her head.

"My little Blitzy~."

"S-SIS!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Blitz was trying to get free, but she was too weak and didn't have any strength. She is trapped between her big sister's colossal chest.

"IF YOU NEED WARMTH, THEN BIG SISTER IS HERE! LIKE IN THE PAST, WHEN WE WERE LITTLE! I'LL USE MY BODY TO KEEP YOU WARM!"

"NO! S-STOP IT! I'M NAKED!!!" Blitz was starting to get embarrassed by her big sister's affection.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT!? BIG SISTER WILL WARM UP YOU, BLITZY!"

"S-STOP IT, SIS! P-PLEASE! AND STOP CALLING ME THAT!" Blitz couldn't stop her big sister.

Braver was watching and started to get jealous. She puff her cheeks out in a cute pout, wishing it was her.

"That's not fair, sis. Why not me?"

Spark and Blitz saw a purple flash. They turned to Braver, and both turned red as Braver was back in her human form. They looked at her lower half.

"I WANT MY BIG SISTER WARMTH TOO!"

Blitz looked at Spark, seeing her acting like a girl ready for her first time. This made Blitz pure red, and she turned back to Braver. "PHRASING, BRAVER! EVEN MORE SO WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR HUMAN FORM!"

Braver tipped her head, not understanding.

"Braver!" Twilight shouted, blushing as she looked away. She was not happy with how she and Spark had been acting.
Dash could be heard laughing, watching the whole thing happening. Twilah and Dashie didn't know what to feel. They wanted to stop this, but Spark earned it. The others were laughing while Lucy was drawing something. Dawn felt a secondhand embarrassment at how Spark was acting.

Spark smiled and brought Braver into her chest, keeping her warm.

"BIG SISTER LOVE!" Braver cheered.

Blitz couldn't believe it. "First Braver, and now you!? TWO SISCONS! Siscons surround me! How is this my life?!"

Everyone was enjoying the moment. Even though it was not over, the battle against Fayth was not done, but it felt like everything would be okay for now. That's what mattered for the time being.

"I love you! I love you two so much!" cried Spark, kissing her sister's cheeks.

Blitz sighed while Braver smiled with joy. The twins looked at each other and then back at Spark.
"We love you too, big sister!"

The End...

The purple-cloaked figure pulled the book away from you, the reader, smiling.

"This might be the end, but there's one more page, the Epilogue. Here. Take a look."
