Chapters Princess Celesta was looking out of one of her widows overseeing ponyville when she she sees a golden shine shoot out of the ground and in the air. Celesta says to herself "was that... the gauntlet?" Looking at the hole that what Celesta thinks is the gauntlet made and sees some kind of dark energy come out of it. "That doesn't look good" Celesta says as the dark cloud of energy goes off into the Everfree forest. After watching that dark energy go to the Everfree forest, that golden shine appears behind her dropping A strange creature that Celesta has never seen. Celesta sees that its resting and uses her magic to pick up the creature and sets it on a nearby bed so it can continue with its resting. Celesta then takes out a quill and paper and starts to write to her student Twilight Sparkle.
After sending the letter and waiting 10 minutes Twilight walks thought the castle doors saying "princess I'm here." "Follow me" Celesta says walking away and Twilight following after. "Twilight, back in the day when ponyville was being made there was a young stallion who no pony knew his name but he'd love to imagine all kinds of things so that's what everypony called him Imagine. Every month or so Imagine would stop by and we'd talk about how to improve Equestrea. Then one day when Imagine stopped by we started talking about security then he got the idea of something that would protect Equestrea. So he left early to show me the idea, After about two weeks he sent a letter saying that the idea was called the Golden gauntlet and that he was going to do the most dangerous thing a unicorn can ever do. He transferred his magic to the gauntlet, this is dangerous because if a unicorn or alicorn to ever do because he or she can die from this, and sent the gauntlet to the core of Equestera so it can wait for its beholder.
Now I didn't get it at the time but a couple of hours ago this appeared." Celesta opens a door to a bed room and Celesta fallowed by Twilight enter the room. "What is this?" Twilight said quested. "This maybe the only thing that is able to save Equestrea from a dark energy that may try to take over." "So what do I need to do?" "Twilight you and your friends need to work with the gauntlet and use the elements of harmony to defeat the dark energy and any thing that may hurt Equestrea from and harm from the future." Twilight gets closer to the gauntlet to see it then the gauntlet shares a vision from the future.
Twilight is in the castle but is darker and destroyed and she's in the air being held in by an other creature like the one with the Golden Gauntlet witch is weak on the ground next to her. the creature holding Twilight up looked more evil and sinister with some kind of blade in one hand. suddenly there was loud "no", Twilight closed here eyes to see that seconds later she was on the ground and the creature with the Golden Gauntlet was in her place with the blade right thought it's body.
The vision stopped and Twilight was back in the bed room with Celesta and the creature with the Gauntlet. "Twilight I'll use my magic to transport you and the creature back to ponyville, in the library. after that let it rest, then well it wakes up introduce your self and your friends. then tell it where it is. now stand right next to it." Twilight moves right next to the creature as Celesta uses her magic to transport both of them back to the library in ponyville. "Better go get Spike and the girls" Twilight said walking down the stars.
After getting her friends and Spike, Twilight told them about the Golden Gauntlet and the creature and are now going to see the creature. "Alright everypony this way" Twilight says as she, her friends, and Spike walk up the stars. "will it try to hurt us Twilight?" Spike asked. "I'm not sure it's sleeping right now" Twilight answered. Finally getting all the way up the stars they all see the creature. "what is it?" Pinkie asked. "no clue but it's going to help save Equestrea from future harm. Girls as soon as it wakes up it'll tell us all about it's self. So try to save your questions." As Twilight continues on Pinkie gets the idea of waking the creature early. So she sneak past her friends without being seen.
She gets up on the bed and starts jumping on its and yells "get up get up get up." "PINKIE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Twilight questions. "Well you said as..." Pinkie is interrupted by a loud yawing sound. Pinkie looks at the creature as its eyes start to open. The creature opens its eyes a little the closes them, then opens them all the way to see Pinkies face in front of it. "Hi" Pinkie says to it. Then all of a sudden there is a loud yelling as the creature falls to the floor. The creature looks up to see more and tries to move back as far as it can but hits the wall shortly after. "there's no need to be afraid." Twilight says to it. The creature looks at Twilight. "Hi my name is Twilight Sparkle and those are my friends. Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie pie, Fluttershy, Rainbow dash, and Spike my number one assistant." The creature stands up on its two legs. "Hi my name is Tristen Rex nice to meet you." The Girls and Spike are in aw when they hear the Tristen speak."So if you can talk what are you then?" Rainbow dash asked. "Oh I'm a human maybe should have said the earlier. Tristen says as he pulls out his hand to shake a hoof but sees the Gauntlet instead and tries to pull it off but can't. "What is this thing and why wont it come off!?" Tristen says "hey um Tristen" Twilight begins "Let me explain."
After about a minute of explaining Tristen finally knows whats going on. "So your saying I'm suppose to protect the land of... what's its name again?" Tristen asked "Equestrea" Applejack answered. "thank you" Tristen said back. "But here's the thing I don't know how I'm going to do it? Do any of you know?" Tristen said. All of them answer the same thing "nope." "well maybe the Gauntlet has some clues." Tristen begin as he's looking at the Gauntlet. "ah right here." There some words on the side that say "Let your Imagination out. What does that mean?" Eveypony, baby dragon, and human suddenly heard horns from out side and went to the window for a look. "oh no Princess Celesta was going to give her speech to day." Twilight said.
"How about this" Tristen began "you seven go to the speech right out side and I'll watch out the window sound like a plan?" "I guess that will work" Twilight said and the six ponies and Spike where down the stars and out the door for Princess Celestas speech and Tristen was watching from the window. About a quarter in some kind of dark red clouds appeared out of nowhere then a dark blue sphere popped out. Then a dark figure walked out of it. Twilight remembers the dark figure from the vision the Gauntlet let her see. "where is the Golden Gauntlet!" the figure yells out.
"Well?" the figure says waiting for an answer. Celesta stands up and says "First who or what are you? and what is this Golden Gauntlet you speck of?" "Celesta you can't fool me I now the gauntlet is here I can feel it!" the figure calls out. Celesta is in shock that the figure knows her. "How do you..." "know your name?" the figure interrupted. "let me explain, you see the creator Imagine made the Golden Gauntlet and sent it to Equastrias core where I was made. When the Gauntlets power mixed with the core a second Gauntlet was formed, the dark gauntlet also known as me, that took two out of the four traits, power and life, when the Golden Gauntlet still had harmony and control.
Then after I got out of the prison I was in I took form to what I am now. " The figure informed her." So I'll ask again where is the Golden Gauntlet?" the dark Gauntlet got inpatient as there was no answer. "Fine if you wont tell me..." The figure puts out its hand and charges a shot to fire at a group of ponies. "then I'll take all of these life's just as fast as mine was given." Celesta shows on her face defeat. "So I'll ask one last time where is the Golden Gauntlet?" "Why not look up!" a voice said out of now where. As they look to see Tristen falling and kicking the dark Gauntlet in the face and landing on his feet then streaks a fighting pose. the figure gets up on its feet to see Tristen and says "What is this? the beholder of the Golden Gauntlet? A teenaged boy? I bet you don't even know how it works."
"I have an idea on how it works." Tristen says. "Thats not good enough" the figure says speeding toward Tristen then punches Tristen in the face. With Tristen on the ground the dark Gauntlet says "Come on boy everyponies watching." After saying that the dark Gauntlet goes to hit Tristen a second time when a Golden see thought wall blocks his way and a golden blast hits him shooting him in the air and hitting the ground. Tristen stands back up and says "oh ya I think I know how to use this." the Dark Gauntlet stands up and spits at the ground. "shall we?" the Dark Gauntlet says. "lets" Tristen responds as he throws a golden handle in the air and as he caches it to form a golden sword.
"Nice touch mind if I take it?" And the dark Gauntlet forms a sword as well and dashes to Tristen. Then there was a clash, both swords struck each other. Tristen looks in the eyes of the dark gauntlet and says "now let a real swordsmen show you how it's done." Tristen uses the sword to disarm the dark gauntlet takes his sword away and starts striking the dark gauntlet with numerous punches and kicks. Then Tristen uppercuts the dark gauntlet in the air, charges a shot and says " Next time you try to hurt anypony here or anywhere I'll find you and it wont be pretty." Tristen finishes and shots the charged shot and lets the dark gauntlet fly back to Everfree forest.
All of the ponies walk out to see Tristen as the Golden Gauntlet shines and shots beams, repairing damaged homes and roads after the repairing a voice that Tristen doesn't know says to him "Tristen Rex come forth." Tristen turns around to see that the pony addressing him is Princess Celesta her self. Tristen walks trowed Celesta and says "Hi... um I didn't try to hurt anypony, I don't think i hurt anypony but..." "Save your words" Celesta says "Fillies and gentlecolts this is the new Golden Guardian that will protect us from harm now and forever." "Yes I will protect this place from anything that wants to hurt any of you and this place for I am the Golden Guardian."
After a few days in ponyville, Tristen explored more and more and even spending time with his new friends all but Twilight who he was spending the day with now. "So Twilight you still want to learn about humans more?" "yes I would." she responds "alright Twilight what you want to know first?" Twilight responds with "then human body." Tristen looks at her confused. "Whats wrong?" Twilight asked. Tristen puts his hand behind his head and looks away. "noting its just I don't know how I can explain it... but maybe I can show you in a way you've never seen be for. just hold still."
Twilight steps back. "what are you going to do?" "You want to learn more about humans don't you?" Tristen asked. "yes" Twilight responds. "Alright then stand still" Tristen says putting one hand on her body and the other on her forehead, focusing as this golden layer starts to spread all over her. Once Twilight was fully covered she stood up on her back legs, Growing to Tristens height, hoofs turning to hands and feet. Once fully done Tristen falls backward and as he looks up to see not a purple pony but a teenage girl with black shoes, blue jeans, purple shirt, and purple purples. "It...I worked."
"What worked? All you did was make me taller." Tristen pulled out a small mirror. "looks like it did something to me." Tristen says putting the mirror in front of her. Twilight sees the amazing transformation that has happened and looks at the rest of her new body. "Tristen this is amazing." "Well its easier to tell a human about the human body then a pony for me so I did this. Now you ready to learn?" The teaching for Tristen took longer then it should have, about 4 hours, but most of the human body was talked about and the other parts Tristen didn't want to talk about.
Tristen looked out side to see that it was still the middle of the day and that there was still a lot of time. "I have an Idea Twilight you want to go outside?" "What are you crazy I can't go out side looking like a human!?" Twilight replied "Why to add yes I'm a little on the crazy side but come on it'll be fun, and I'll turn you back to a pony for a short time then when we're in a good area I'll change you back in to a human deal?" Twilight took a couple seconds to respond. "Fine." " alright again stand still." So Tristen and Twilight went out of ponyville and found a nice hill to sit by, once but the hill Tristen made sure the close was clear and turned Twilight back to a human.
"Alright Twilight time to get those lags moving." Tristen said runing up the hill. Twilight shortly followed but as she got to the top, tripe and started to fall pulling Tristen with her. at the bottom of the hill, with Twilight on Tristen, Tristen look up and said "Well have a nice fall?" Twilight got off and the both of them stood up. "Alright running for you is great. now lets do some other stuff." after showing Twilight how to climb up a tree, pick things up with her new hands and getting better with balancing both Tristen and Twilight were sitting on the hill watching the sun set with Twilight still asking questions.
then it was that on question Twilight said that made Tristen unconformable. "So what do you miss on Earth?" Twilight asked. Tristen took awhile to answer "You don't have to talk about if you don't want to." Twilight said "No no you want to know, what do I miss on Earth? lets see one, my family I may never see them again. And two, would have to be the the moments. You know like having a first kiss, going on a date, that kind of stuff." Then Twilight look at Tristen and said. "I could help with one of those moments." Tristen looks at her. "I could help with that first kiss." Tristen's shocked. "Really you would do that for me? alright um sh-shall we?" Then both Tristen and Twilight leaned in close. "gets relax there's nothing to be nerves about." Twilight said. Then it happen the one moments Tristen would never forget the First kiss.
Tristen and Twilight where making there why to meet up with the girls for a picnic when Tristen brings up what happened the day before. "So Twilight what about yesterday?" Twilight keeps walking and says "It was wonderful I'd love to be a human again soon." Tristen puts his hand behind is head. "Yes but Twilight I was talking about the kiss and if we're going to do something about it like be together?" Twilight keeps walking but looks down at the ground. Looks at Tristen. "Do you want to be together?" Twilight ask. Tristen looks at the sky to think. Suddenly both Twilight and Tristen hear a voice calling for them. They turn to see pinkie pie bouncing toward them.
"Oh hi pinkie" Tristen says continuing to walk with Twilight. "Hi Tristen Hi Twilight are you guys exited be cause I know I'm exited but I want to know if your exited?." Pinkie continues to talk to both Tristen and Twilight with out ether of them answering her. In the distance Dark is looking over Tristen, Twilight, and Pinkie. "Well looks like the Guardian is out of the village time to put my plan to action." Dark waves his and to send out two spheres that form in to two knights. "Looks like my power is getting stronger." Dark looks at the knights and points. "You two go pay that Guardian a little visit when I go to ponyville. Got it?" Both knights nod.
"Good so what are you waiting for? Go." and just like that the to knights where off to get Tristen. "Oh this plan is going to be good." Dark leads his way strait to ponyville. Back at the picnic area Tristen, Twilight, and Pinkie meet up with the rest of the girls and start to set up the picnic. After have way in to the picnic Tristen feels something strange, stands up and looks toward ponyville. Suddenly Tristen looks up to see a giant sword about to strike him and moves out of the way. "Girls get behind me!" Tristen yells pulling out a sword of his own. Tristen stands there looking at the knight to see another one fall out of the sky. "Alright girls take cover this is going to be messy." The girls take cover to near be trees and bushes. Tristen looks back at the knights. "Alright shall we?" Tristen asks with a grin as the two knight start to attack, swinging there swords, missing Tristen with every strike. After Tristen gets his balance he swings his sword hitting the knights. Tristen keeps hitting them each time harder and harder till there was nothing but armor.
Tristen stops and turns to the girls. "alright girls you can get out." Tristen sees that they're not moving a bit. Hearing clashing and banging behind him Tristen turns to see that the knights have turned into one knight. "oh boy" Tristen looks at the giant knight above him. Tristen grins once more and starts to attack but to see that its no good. The giant knight keeps blocking Tristens attacks. Tristen stops and punches the giant knight in the chest plate successfully pushing him back. Tristen stops to see what the knight is going to do next. The knight sees the ponies in the back and thoughts one of his swords at the ponies.
Tristen turns quickly and pulls out his hand. The sword stops almost hiting the ponies and flying into Tristens hand. Tristen looks back at the knight and runs at him striking the knight multiple times, then lands on the ground and spins the sword horizontally toward the knight. As the sword hits the knight it starts rising up the knights body and in the air where Tristen kicks the handle and goes thought the knight blade first as bits of armor and the swords hit the ground and evaporate away. Tristen lands on the ground and look up to see smoke appear from out of the trees toward ponyville.
"Girls we need to get to ponyville fast!" the Girls run out from there hiding spots and run with Tristen back to ponyville to see building destroyed and fire everywhere. Tristen runs up and claps his hands to send out a wave of wind to put out the fire. Spike comes running toward Tristen. "Thank goodness your here there are ponies hurt and badly injured." Tristen looks at Spike and says. "who did this?"
"I don't know its something we've never seen before." Tristen knows who did it. "Spike where did the creature go?"
"up to Canterlot but I'm not sure why." Tristen looks back at Spike. "Hey Spike I need you to stay here and help out the ponies, me and the girls are going to Canterlot and don't worry you'll see them again." Tristen stands up and and calls the girls over. "Girls whats the fastest way to Canterlot?" they all stop to think. "The train!" Pinkie yells out. "good cause that's what we're going to use to get there lets go." Tristen and the girls run to the train station as fast as they can.
Tristen and the girls arrive at the train station to see It destroyed but for it to still have the locomotive a car and the caboose. "Looks like a little bit of the train is gone and is derailed." said Rarity. "hmm..." Tristen looks at the derailed train and gets an idea. "lets see here." Tristen moves to the derailed part of the train and puts his hands under the train to lift the train back on the rails. The girls just stand there and watch. "There alright girls does anyone of you know how to work a train?" They all stare at each other. "we can try." Applejack informs Tristen.
"Ok first I'm going to have to give it a push then you girls will have to take it from there." Tristen moved to the back of the caboose getting ready to push with the girls in the locomotive trying to know how this machine works. "Ready up there?" Tristen yells to the girls in the locomotive. "I think so Tristen" Twilight yells back to Tristen behind the caboose. "Good, hold on up there." Tristen yells back and starts to try pushing the caboose, the other car, and the locomotive for a head start. Twilight runs to the caboose to see Tristen slipping. "Come on Tristen you can do it." Tristen looks up at Twilight then back at the caboose and gives it one last try. Tristen then puts his hands on the caboose and starts pushing, as Tristen tries pushing the the gauntlet starts to glow brighter and brighter and the train begins to move forward little by little and gets, faster and faster. "Ah Tristen time to get on the train!" Twilight yells. Tristen looks and starts to run after the train. When Tristen gets close he jumps at the railings and climes over. "Ok...don"t want to do that again. Thanks for the encouragement Twilight I needed it."
"No problem Tristen" Twilight responses. Alright girls next stop Canterlot. Meanwhile at Canterlot castle Dark is looking out the widow in the thrown room and sees the train. Dark smiles. "Oh Celestia, Luna come look at this." Dark says pulling both Celestia and Luna that where tide by some kind of black chains. "You to see that guardian and his ponies are coming to try and stop me." "They will stop you!" Celestia yells. Dark looks at her and gets in her face. "You think so? Well time to show you the power I have!" Dark yells back at Celestia then back out the window, pulls out his arm as the train reaches the other side of a tunnel and on a stone bridge. Dark uses his power to create a stone monster with four claw like legs, a spiked tail, and a snake like face. The creator the jumps off the mountain and on the tracks then follows the train. Dark looks back at Celesta with a smile. "You see my power is greater the the guardians he will die. Not from the rock monster oh no I'll have the pleasure of killing him my self." Dark then throws Celesta and Luna to the wall. "And no one or pony will stop me."
Back at the train Tristen runs to the caboose to see the rock monster running after them. Twilight runs to Tristens side. "Oh my." Twilight is questioned on oh to stop it. Tristen looks at Twilight. "Hey tell the girls to stop at the station and wait for me this goes for you as well." Twilight looks back at Tristen. "What you going to do?" "What I do best." Tristen looks back at the monster. "Be stupid." Tristen then runs to the end of the caboose and jumps over the railing and rolls on to the track and gets up. The monster then sees Tristen and goes after him. The monster jumps to attack Tristen but misses as Tristen moves out of the way. Tristen looks at the monster. "Ok Tristen time to think for once how am I going to take care of this thing?"
The monster turns around and Tristen sees the crack on the back of the head that is leaking dark energy. "Bingo."
Tristen jumps trying to land and the neck of the monster but gets swatted by the monsters stone arm. Hitting the tracks Tristen trys to find a way to get on its neck. Tristen stands up and looks at the monster as it turns once again. "Lets see." Tristen looks at the monster stand there and look at Tristen. Tristen gets an idea and starts to taunt the monster. The monster starts to charge at Tristen. The monster gets up on its hind legs and strikes the ground. after striking the ground the monster sees Tristen in front of it and tries to lift up its legs but cant because Tristen is keeping them down. Tristen then jump on the monsters neck, pulls out his sword, and stabs the crick. the monster screams in pain then Tristen notice that a light from the bottom of the creator start to fill the cricks all the way to the head. Tristen jumps off the monster as it explodes.
Tristen gets projected trowed the train station as the rock bridge starts to collapse. Back at the station the girls look at the bridge to see its destruction. Twilight looks around to find Tristen to see he landed in Canterlot. "Girls I found Tristen he fell in Canterlot. Lets go" Twilight yells as she and the girls walk in to Canterlot to find Tristen head first in the ground trying to get out. the girls move to help Tristen up out of the ground. they all get together and pull Tristen out of the ground. "Thanks girls." Tristen says standing up. "remind me when this is done to do that again." Tristen says. "Ok enough of that come on girls we need to head to that castle." Tristen and the girls walk around Canterlot to see nopony in sight. "Where is everypony? Isn't there tons of ponies in Canterlot?" Tristen asks looking around to find a pony with no luck. "Ya there is lots of ponies here but why aren't they here?" Twilight responses. Soon Tristen and the girls arrive at the castle doors, Tristen kicks them open to see A dark figure and starts to run towered him. Tristen then leaps at the figure to find it was a cloud of dark smoke.
Tristen stands up and hears the words "thrown room." "Tristen are you alright?" Fluttershy asks. Tristen faces the girls. "Girls were is the thrown room?" "follow me." Twilight says as Tristen and the others follow Tristen down a hall way. they stop in front of it, Tristen in rage smashes the door open to see Celestia and Luna tied together and Dark looking out the window over seeing Ponyville. "well guardian I see you made it." Dark says as he also traps the six ponies in dark chains. "Dark you have to stop this now!" Tristen yells out in rage. Dark turns around. "Why guardian? why stop all that I have done? I'll make this place my own." Tristen pulls out his sword. "We'll see." Tristen says rushing to Dark. Dark grins as Tristen swings his sword to find Dark grabbing Tristen sword and throwing his sword and grabs Tristen by the neck and shocks, sending him to the ground. "Oh guardian you power is nothing compared to mine. Dark also traps Tristen in dark chains and grabs his arms and throws him to the ground. "But its not all bad guardian." Dark begins. "You have the pleasure to watch all your friends die."
Tristens eyes widen as Dark picks the first pony to die. Dark closes his eyes and points. Dark opens hes eyes to see that he is pointing at Twilight. "Well my little pony looks like it's not your lucky day. Twilight remembers this moment. This is the moment The gauntlet shared with Twilight. Dark forms a sword out of fin air. Suddenly there's a loud no as Twilight closes her eyes and hits the ground. There's a stabbing sound as Twilight looks back to see Darks sword going right thought Tristens body. Dark smiles as he pulls the sword out of Tristen as he falls to the ground. Dark turns and walks away.
As dark walks away he turns back at Tristen and begins to speak. "Well because I'm not that bad I guess you can talk to the pony who was going to die, in your last moments." Dark then snaps his fingers removing the chains around Tristen and Twilight, Twilight rushes over to Tristen crying. Tristen looks at Twilgiht. "Hey its ok." Tristen begins. "You can't blame me for t...trying can you? I want to tell you well all of you." Tristen turns his head to the others then back at Twilight. "that up to this moment I've never had the greatest of times then with you six. More impotently you Twilight. At the start when I came here I have gotten a whole lot of new friends, but only one that I wanted to be with." Tristen stares into Twilights crying eyes. "I love you." Tristen finishes, then Twilight looks back at Tristen.
"I love you too." She replies. Tristen suddenly with the rest of his energy rise up and kisses Twilight before falling to the ground motionless. Twilight stares at Tristens body, Twilight gets down and cries over the body. the other ponies join in the crying. Celestia looks at Dark who is smiling at what was the golden guardian. "You monster! You'll never get away with this!" Celestia yells out in anger. Dark looks at Celestia. "Oh ya well who's going to stop me? Your only hope is died. This place is mine and there is nothing you or anypony can do about it!" Dark yells back and begins to laugh maniacally. Twilight, still crying over Tristens body, sees something caught her eye. Twilight looks over to see the gauntlet shining brighter and brighter. Twilight wonders whats happening as she looks at the cut the sword left to see it heal quickly. Twilight looks back at Tristens face waiting as his eyes open wide and Tristen gets up. the girls, Celestia and Luna stop and look to see Tristen stand.
"Hey Dark." Tristen begins. "Looks like there still a chance." Dark turns to see Tristen still alive. "What how? I killed you." Tristen grins. "The power of friendship is strong, stronger then you and I'll prove it!" Tristen yells and the gauntlet covers his fingers in some kind of armor, shortly the armor spreads up Tristens arm, aross his neck down his other arm, from Tristens neck the armor spreads down his chest to his wast and to his feet. Dark is surprised. "How...how did you get the full power of the gauntlet?!" Tristen looks back at Dark. "Like I said the power of friendship is stronger then you and I'll prove it." Tristen runs at Dark, Dark gets in a fighting pose and tries to strike Tristen with a punch. Darks fist swinging, Tristen grabs it and throws Darks arm trowed the ground. Tristen then starts punching and kicking Dark. Tristen, hitting Dark multiple of times, up cuts Dark but before going to high Tristen grabs darks leg and throws him into the thrown smashing it in to pieces. Tristen jumps back as Dark rises from what was the thrown. Dark in anger burst dark energy that brakes the windows in the room and cracks the walls. "This is the last time that I get made a fool of!" Dark yells before flying out the window that over saw ponyville and into the air.
Tristen runs to the window to see black clouds roll in with rain, thunder, and lightning. Tristen turns to see the chains of the girls, Celestia, and Luna disappear. Tristen runs to Twilight. "Twilight I have an idea but I need you anfd the girls help with it." the girls run up. "What is it Tristen." Twilight asks. "I need you six to guide me to the elements of harmony." They all shake there heads. "Follow us" Twilight says as all six of them start running and Tristen following. Once out side Tristen looks up to see a black orb of energy getting bigger and bigger. Tristen looks back at the six and continues to run. once at the building thats the elements are in Tristen kicks the doors open and runs with the girls to the other side of the room. "Oh no I forgot the only pony who can open the door to the elements is princess Celestia." Twilight says. "Well then lets see what this gauntlet can do." Tristen says putting his hand over the spot Celestias horn goes. Suddenly the shapes on the door get a golden outline as the door opens showing Tristen the box that holds the elements. Tristen picks up the box and opens is to see that all of the elements are there. The gauntlets red gem starts to blink, as do the gems on the elements. suddenly the elements shot out of the box and start to orbit around Tristen.
As Tristen goes to poke one it lushes onto his arm then another hits his other arm. The elements start to connect to Tristens armor. As the elements lash onto Tristen he feels the power of the elements as they change his armor. suddenly the elements fuse with Tristens armor changing it to a brighter gold. Tristens armor became more bulk at this moment, on the back of Tristens chest plate he gross wings and the magic element lands on Tristens head to form a helmet with a horn on it. After the transformation the girls look in ah as they see the new armor. Tristen looks at the girls. "Alright you girls get back to the castle and see if Celestia and Luna are alright." Tristen says. "Then what are you going to do?" Twilight asks. "I'll do what I always do." Tristen looks at the door way. "Be stupid." And flies out of the building to go after Dark.
Tristen, zooming thought the air, reaches Dack. "dark you still have the chance to stop everything right now." Tristen yells up too Dark. "Never! I'll not be made a fool of any more." Tristen sees the energy orb that Dark has been charges move down and fires away. Tristen then shots an energy beam at the orb, pushing it back at Dark. Dark sees whats happening and shots his own beam at the orb, moving back towed Tristen. Tristen sees whats happens and shots another beam at the orb, but with no luck the orb keeps moving towed Tristen. meanwhile the Six ponies are back at thrown room to see Princess Celestia and Princess Luna a broken window with a good view of the fight, the girls walk up next to the two princesses to watch the fight. The six see How Tristen is Trying to push the orb back, but failing as the orb movies closer and closer to the Earth below.
Suddenly Twilight yells out. "Come on Tristen you can do it!" Then the others join in. "Show him who's boss" Rainbow dash yells. "Don't give up." Applejack yells. "Come on Tristen over power him." Rarity yells. "Come on show him the power of friendship." Pinkie pie yells. "Come show him the good old one two." Fluttershy says. "We all believe in you Tristen." Celesta yells. Tristen looks back at the orb in above him, grins and shoots a blast that gives dark a surprising face well Tristens shot goes through the orb, exploding it and Tristen to fly up right by Dark to kick him to the earth below. Tristen land on the earth to see the crater that Dark has made with is body. Dark stands up and looks at Tristen.
"NO! This time I'm going to kill you for GOOD!" Dark yells out pulling out a sword with a bulky blade, dark particles rising from it, and see Darks face full of dark cracks due to the out of control of power. Tristen pulls out a sword as well and takes a stands. Dark yells and begins to charge Tristen as he stands there looking at dark. As dark gets closer, It gets windier and rains heavily. Dark gets to Tristen and swings his sword as Tristen counters and both swords clash together. Tristen pushes away and continues to strike Darks sword. Both swords clash one last time as Tristen leans his face to Darks. "Time to end this, ONCE AND FOR ALL." Tristen yells out as he hits Darks arm causing Dark to throw his sword away. Tristen then makes his sword vanish and strike Dark with many punches and kicks. To finish Tristen kicks both Darks knees. Tristen stands up and hears Darks loud yelling. Tristen then turns around and walks away. Dark, unable to move, yells at Tristen. "Where you going guardian? to much of a cowered to finish me?" Tristen stops at Darks sword sticking out of the ground and turns around at Dark. "Listen there are a lot of things that I am. Stupid, funny, friendly. The list goes on. But there is one thing I'm not."
Tristen pick up Darks sword."And that's a cowered." Tristen yells out and throws Darks sword at him. There was a sound of a stab and another loud yell. Tristen looks over to see the sword through darks chest and in to the ground. Tristen stands up. "Dark gauntlet" Tristen begins. "you've attacked the village my friends live, hurt many ponies doing it" Tristen walks closer as the elements pop off a body part and orbit around the golden gauntlet. "Held both princesses hostage, almost killed one of my friends, and almost killed me." Tristen stops as all the elements of harmony orbit around the golden gauntlet. "Now its time for you to pay the ultimate price." Tristen puts his plum out as the elements spin around the gauntlet faster and faster, then Tristen fires a blast shooting a rainbow blast at dark. as dark is being shot little parts of him start to come off. Dark continues to yell for he has been defeated and will never be see again. As Dark is vanishing little but little, the Sapphire on the dark gauntlet shots off and lands in some near by grass. when the yelling stops Tristen stops to take a look, to see that his foe is no longer there.
Tristen then shots a rainbow blast in the air to clear the clouds. The power is so strong that the blast restores ponyville and heals all the wounded ponies. Tristen stops to see the clear summer sky. Tristen look back at the castle and super jumps over to the broken window. going though the window, Tristen passes out and lands face first on the floor with the elements sliding forward. Tristen wakes up slowly to find him self back at the library. Tristen gets up slowly to feel a pain in his chest. he lifts his shirt to see a scar where Dark had stabbed him. Tristen lets his shirt drop as he gets out of bed and heads down the stars. At the bottom of the stars Tristen hears his name as Twilight runs at him and he hugs her. "I Thought I wasn't going to see you again." Tristen looks back at Twilight. "Hey its ok I didn't know if I was going to survive ether. But I'm here with you and that's all that matters." Twilight blushes. "Oh hey I have to tell the girls! Tristen you stay right here and I'll be back." Twilight says heading out the door. "Having fun are we?" A strange voice calls out. Tristen turns to see a dark yellow stallion with a bright yellow coat. "Who are you?" Tristen asked the strange pony. "Oh Tristen so much you must know. well I'm Imagine the unicorn who made that gauntlet."
Tristen is stun to hear those words. "And I'm here to give you a chose. you can take off the gauntlet and go back to your home and nopony will ever know what happened. or you could keep the gauntlet and stay the golden guardian. What you say." Tristen looks down at the gauntlet. "Well as much as I want to go home. I have to stay here to guard this world from anything that may want to harm it. So I guess I'm keeping the gauntlet." Tristen responds. "If thats what you want then continue to have some fun with that gauntlet and remember. Let you imagination out." Imagine says before disappearing. Twilight walks though the door with Pinkie pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack , and fluttershy, all for a hug attack to Tristen. Well to Tristen its was more like doggie pile. Tristen and the five other ponies get up as pinkie calls out "You know what it's time for? A PARTY!" Pinkie yells out grabbing her party cannon as it explodes with balloons and confetti. "You girls set up the party, I'm going for a walk ok?" Tristen asks. "As long as your back. Come on girls lets set up." Twilight calls out as Tristen heads out the door and walks all the way back the the field where Tristen defeated Dark.
Tristen looks down to find a sapphire gem on the Grown and picks it up. "Looks like this is whats left. I'll have to give this to Celestia so that she can put it in a place where nothing could get to it." Tristen then puts the sapphire gem in his pocket and walks back to the library saying. "Good bye my enemy, hopefully next time you will learn about the power of friendship."
---The End
Once upon a time in the magical land of Equeastera there live a unicorn who other ponies called Imagine because no pony knew his real name. At this time the stallion was on his way to talk to princess Celestia like he does every once a mouth. "Celestia im here" yelled out Imagine. "And I got some pictures on the armor for the guards." Imagine over here" Celestia said. "look, some ponies have traveled a long way and are starting to make a little village named ponyville. Now lets see about those pictures." "oh ya let me get them" Imagine said as he goes in his bag to get the pictures.
"Here they are I know there two of them but they took me all mouth to make hope you like them." "there amazing" Celestia said with in surprise. "I've never seen anything like it." "well I'm glad you like them." "Thank you Imagine for all of the hard work you did over the past 4 mouths it means a lot." "no problem, I just wish there was some easier way to protect this place and all the ponies in it now and the future." At this time Imagine got a good idea and a great picture in his mind. " I got it Celestia I know its been a short talk but I got to get home and make something that's going to blow your mind!" And with that Imagine was gone out the castle. " that stallion has something about him that everypony enjoys." When Imagine got home he began to draw. Then when he was done he named his drawing the Golden gauntlet. It looked like a cylinder with golden panels and a beautiful red ruby at one end. It was hallow so that a hoof could fit into it.
"now it's time to make it" Imagine said. then Imagine got half way thought making the gauntlet and saw the clock. "oh would you look at that well I'll stop for the day and sleep and start back up in the morning. And that's what he did. As Imagine was sleeping he saw in his dream a creature he'd never seen before and that creature was using the golden gauntlet with the elements of harmony to defeat a powerful foe. As he woke up he had an idea that maybe that dream was from the future then again it was only a dream. but Imagine couldn't stop him self from making the gauntlet.
"Maybe the dream was telling me something that this creature is the one to protect Equestrea not me." After about 7 hours the gauntlet was almost done but all that was missing was its power. Imagine knew that this was dangerous to transfer his magic from him to the gauntlet but it was something he was willing to do. before Imagine was about to do this dangerous task he wrote princess Celestia. after the letter was done he sent it and began to transfer his magic with one power magical blast. As Imagines magic was draining from his body he began to get weaker and weaker.
Then when the gauntlet was full he sent it to the core of Equestera so that when the time the gauntlet will chose its beholder. After the gauntlet was full of magic and sent to the core no one saw Imagine ever again. He was gone no where to be found. And Celesta waited for one day for Imagine to come back and tell her where he has been but that never came.
Tristen gets up from the guest bed in the library to think about earlier that day. He puts his shoes on and heads out the door to the late night. walking down one of the paths, Tristen thinks to his self. "Now what happens? Are Twilight and me more than friends? and what about the others? things I cant answer."
Tristen stops to look at the sky and sees the moon. "Moon sure looks the same as home but some how better I wounder if there's a princess for that as well?" Suddenly Tristen hears a strange voice say "who goes there?" Tristen turns to see A dark blue pony that's as tall as he. "Oh you must be the new human I've been wanting to see for some time now" the pony says. "Tristen Rex and you are?" "I'm Luna princess of the night." Tristen thinks to himself. "I knew it" then Tristen things that Luna may answer some of his questions "Hey Luna mine if you help me out on something?" "Well what is it?" Luna responds. "Walk with me." After about Five minuets of telling what happened earlier that day Luna answers Tristens question. "Well I'm no love expert but I'll ask this, Tristen do you love this pony?"
Tristen looks at her like some kind of crazy pony. "of couse." "Alright then answer this" Luna Begins "what will you do to be with her?" Tristen thinks for a moment and says "I'd give my live to be with her." Luna smiles and starts saying "looks like your in love." Tristen looks back to luna. "really is this what love feels like because it feels weird." Tristen and Luna keep walking to end up back at the library. "Thanks Luna for helping me talk about today I think I know what to do know. See you later." "Bye Tristen and make sure what ever you do counts ok." Tristen looks back a Luna before walking back in to the library. "Sure thing" and walks back in the library and slowly walks back to the guest bed, takes off his shoes and gets under the covers to fall back to sleep for the morning. Tristen walks up to see spike still sleeping and Twilight walking up the stars. "Oh good morning Tristen have a good night sleep?"
qTristen gets up out of the bed and stands up. "ya I did." Twilight looks back a Tristen. "hey to day me and the girls are having a picnic would you like to come?" Tristen walks over to a mirror to fix his hair. "sure it'll be fun." Tristen walks over to his shoes, puts them on and starts to write a note for spike for when he wakes up. "Ok got everything lets go." Twilight says walking away from the library with Tristen following.
