The End of All Things

" So, we need a plan for an attack! " Applejack supposed on the gathering, that they had on the another morning, which purpose was to think of a plan to defeat Dusk and Hellios powered up with the Tesseract before they call out the Chitaupi.

" I have a plan. Attack. " Stark replied

" Too obvious. They'll capture us and it will be over. " Twilight told him

" Oh, I am not sure, it maybe isn't a good idea, but why don't we just smash everything? " Fluttershy asked

" The energy shield around the Tesseract and the device, which they will probably use, is unbreachable by anything else but the Scepter " Djarvis replied.

" What we need is to let them think, that they won. " Luna spoke.

Everypony turned her heads to her. They expected that at least.

" We must secretly eliminate all their troops, so that we have to deal only with the Chitaupi. After they open the portal, they will think, we give up, and we will have the element of surprise on our side. Loky will sneak and close the portal, we will deal with the remaining troops and then our only care will be the lords. "

" That's a plan! " Applejack agreed.

" It sounds like a good plan to me. " Stark also agreed. Everypony else agreed after him.

" Than, what are we waiting for? " Luna asked

" Transport. The PDFs are too obvious. " Stark answered.

" Leave that to me." Loky flew out. After a half an hour, he returned with two flying platforms.

" Hop on. " he told them.

Everypony got aboard. They were easy to control and they soon entered the castle. It was, like evrything else around here, half light, half darkness. The group landed in the dark part.

" Identify yourself! " a troop neared the platforms. He received a bolt from the scepter and vanished. A squad of guard ran to the alarm. They fell 20 feet before it, hit by arrows.

" OK, everything is going smooth. If we eliminate the others so easily, we meet after an hour here. " Luna told everypony.

Stark flew up and the rest took care of the ground troops. Everything was done so quickly and quietly, that even a single alarm didn't sound.

" That was fast. " Stark said after the helmet lifted.

" That was the easy part. I saw the device with the Tesseract. They will fire with it soon, Than it won't be so easy. " Loky said them.

Everypony looked at Loky.

" Oh me, how could you be so dumm! You had the chance to stop everything before it even started! " Celestia told him.

" Oh. " Loky sighed.

" Never..."

Luna couldn't finish her sentence. A beam of blue light fired from the top of the castle. A huge portal opened and the chitaupi started pouring out on their flying platfroms.

Fluttershy yelled, grew and turned to the Shyulk.

"OK." AJ said. " Now... Hawk, you'll control the things from up there. We all have comunication gadgets. Use them if you must. Stark- the perimeter. If anything leaves the castle you turn it back or turn it to ash."

" Can you give me a lift? " Hawk asked Stark

" Sure, Robbin' Hoof.  " Stark got him with his two front hooves and flew up.

" You and ah, girl, kill them down here. " Applejack said Rarity " Thorse, you have lightning. Fry them. "

Thorse spun his hammer in his mouth and flew to a tower, made out of metal.

" Loky, make your way to the Tesseract and stop it."

Loky flew away.

" The others: ya help mah an'Rarity. An'Shyulk..."

The Shyulk turned to Applejack,

" Smash. " AJ said her. The monster smiled and jumped.

" Finally! " Hellios looked at the portal and smiled " We made it, Dusk! "

His brother looked exactly like him, but was wearing dark armour instead of light one and had bat wings

" I told you: in unity is strength." he replied to the light lord

The smile on the face of Hellios quickly dissapeared, as he saw lightnings striking his beatiful army from the tower.

" I thought they gave up! " he was confused

" Relax, it's just Thorse! " the other brother calmed him down.

And just like if to prove him wrong, the Iron Stalion flew through the window and flew out of the other and the stupid Chitaupi crashed into the building and fell.

" No! " Dusk was now also confused.

" But how? Guards! "

" All the guards are dead, sir. " said the servant as he entered.

Hellios nearly fell.

" WHAT? And why hadn't you told me?"

"You've forbidden me to talk when I am not told to, sir. "

Dusk flew in the air and hit his head into his hooves.

" Stark, two are getting away. " Hawk noticed the two escapees. The second after it he shot a melting arrow in a platform of the Chitaupi and they fell down.

" Ready. " Stark got in front of the both platforms and shot their drivers.

" Be careful with the guns! " Rarity kicked a chitaupi in the face and avoided being shot from it's gun.

Another beam reflected from AJ's shield. She got her shield in her mouth and threw it like a flying saucer. The shield bounced of two chitaupi, knocking them out, and returned to AJ. She put her back on her hoof and continued fighting.

" Will these guys ever stop coming ? " Twilight had learnt how to use the gun of the chitaupi and killed one with his own gun.

" We depend on Loky for this. " Luna replied.

" I don't like this! " Pinkie told them.

Everypony turned around. They saw something, looking like a big metal snake entering through the portal.

" Stark! " Rarity spoke.

" I saw it. "  Stark got near the snake and fired a bunch of rockets in it's face. It made a horrifying yell and followed Stark.

" Great. I got i's attention. Now what the hay was step 2? " he said to himself and flew forward.

" Hey, girls! I am bringing the party to you! " he spoke.

" I don't see how this is a party. " the Widow said, after she saw the Iron Stalion and the huge thing following him.

The Shyulk jumped out of nowhere. Stark flew up and Shyulk punched the snake very hard with her huge front hoof in the face. The snake's body continued and the snake fell on it's back. The Chitaupi, that had jumped of the snake on the towers, yelled. Shyulk yelled back and jumped at the walls, smashing everything on her way.

" At least somepony here is having fun! " Twilight noted.

" Oh, no. " Stark saw two more snakes coming out of the portal. The first was slowed down by Thorse' lightnings.

But the second flew directly to Stark.

" Djarvis, have you heard of Jona? " he asked

" I don't consider him a role model, sir. " Djarvis replied.

Spikes got out of the legs of the Iron Stalion and he flew directly in the mouth of the snake. After he got out, the snake was dead, but the suit looked horrible.

" Djarvis, I think I need to change up. "

" Sir, the Mark VII isn't yet ready to use. "

" Leave the flashing lights, I need it now. " Stark landed on a tower and got out of his suit. He put a band on his hand. But before he could put the new suit on, a shot from a Chitaupi platform threw him off the tower.

" Djarvis! " he yelled.

A kind of rocket appeared from nowhere and flew down to Stark. Laser readers appeared and read the information on Stark's band. Little than 3 feet over the ground, the Mark VII got around Stark and he flew back up to terminate the platform.

Meanwhile the second snake flew to the ground. Thorse and Shyulk jumped on it. Shyulk hit the Chitaupi on it, grabbed a huge metal scale and stuck it in the snake's head. Thorse hit the scale with lightning and fryed the snake's head.

When they landed, they stood a bit. Shyulk punched Thorse aside and jumped back.

" Yes! "Loky was finally near the Tesseract.

" Freeze! " two troops, that the gang had forgotten to eliminate, stood in front of them. Without even to think, Loky teleported himself right in front of the first and passed some blue magic from the Scepter in his chest.

" You'll die! " yelled the other, but was shot from the first.

Two platforms appeared. Loky hid himself behind the guard, but soon the platforms were frozen and fell down.

" Thanks, Glace. " he thanked the ice lord.

" No problem. How did you hypnotise him? " Glace was confused from the guard.

" Scepter. " he replied and penetrated the shield around the Tesseract. He pushed the Tesseract out of it's place and the portal quickly closed. The Chitaupi died, because they lost connection with the mother ship.

" NO! " both Hellios and Dusk yelled.

" Betta' luck next time! " Applejack and the others entered the throne room.

" You! " Hellios jumped at them only to receive a strong kick in the face.

Dusk made some darkness ball with his horn. But before he could fire it...

" SHYULK SMAAAASH! " after the smash the only, that remained, was the amethyst, that Twilight picked up and put into the medalion.

" Wait, we can make a deal! New Equestria for me, the old- for you! " Hellios was desperate.

" The only thing, that remains for you is this! " Thorse hit him with the hammer and Loky fired a bolt at him.

" And the last. " Twilight put the pearl into the medalion.

Glace, Hawk, Pony Stark, Loky and Thorse dissapeared. The medalion started shining. The stones dissapeared and a huge diamond appeared in the middle of the medalion. A huge beam fired from it and the diamond dissapeared too, this time with the whole medalion. Instead, in front of the throne, a very confused Hase stood.

" Aha! " Luna charged at him.

" Nope! " Hase levitated the Tesseract around him and LUna bounced of the energy shield. " I thought New Equestria learnt you something, Luna. "

"You're still going to prison! Before I was for you, but now I share Luna's mind. You kidnapped us! And now, nothing stops us from taking you to prison! " Celestia was angry.

" Except me. " Rainbow Dash stood in front of him.

" And me. " Rarity joined her.

" Mah." Applejack also went in front of him.

" Mee! " Pinkie jumped there.

" Me also! " now the normal Fluttershy also joined them.

" And finally, me! " Twilight Sparkle went to her friends.

" But, why? " Luna and Celestia were both confused.

" I know, that in the beggining, he was evil, cruel, absolutely mad and everything else. But nopony could create magic alternate forms of itself, that do not represent himself, as Twilight told me. " Dash told the princesses " But in Glace, who is a form of Hase, I saw the biggest loyalty: he had the choice to join the evil Hydro, who's been like a father to him for years, but instead chose to stay with his friends to the end. "

" And my darling, Hawk, gave me the last thing, that remained from the former love of his life. And that is what I call generocity. That is the reason of my feelings to him: friendship and love. " Rarity spoke.

" Stark coulda betrayed us and we wouldn't even be alive now. But he chose to be honest with us all and I will be eternally grateful for that. " Applejack said them.

" Loky never wanted to hurt us! He just wanted to have fun! And as he saw, evil isn't fun! That's why I step up for Hase! " Pinkie jumped around while saying that, as usual.

" Thorse sacrificed his own food just for my bunny. I know he isn't an animal lover, so that makes him a beacon of kindness! "

Fluttershy replied to the princesses

" And aren't that the virtues of friendship? Hadn't you realised, that this wasn't just a trap, it was a path for us and Hase of self- realising. Hase was on a junction: to stay evil or to be good. He chose the second. And as my friends told you, his froms, which are his copies, were real friends. that means, that he also is a friend! " Twilight finished.

" Royal council! " Luna yelled, turned back and spoke with Celestia. They looked back and continued whispering. Finally, they turned back with tears in their eyes:

" It is true, We've been blind. Sorry, Hase. Accept our apologies and we'll return to Equestria." but then the tears immeadietly dissapeared from their eyes. " Hey, we really meant that, but we didn't cry! Where did the tears come from? "

" Guilty! " spoke Hase, who had meanwhile turned to Loky.

Everypony laughed.

" But, of course, Twilight, each three months you and your friends will come to Canterlot and report us what Hase had learnt about friendship and if he misbehaves and creates more chaos than chocolate milk lakes. "

" SO THEY ARE ALLOWED??? " Pinkie was on the edge of madness from happyness

" Yes. " Luna replied.

" YUPEEEE!!!"

"Well. I myself also have some conditions! " Hase in the form of Loky unwrapped a huge scroll with the headline " CONDITIONS".

" Blah, blah, blah?" Dash read the first.

" The real conditions are in front of the princesses. " Hase turned back to normal.

" Last condition: To plug in the eternal life mashine ... " Celestia started reading.

" NEVER! " Luna yelled

" Read the whole text, please! " Hase told him.

" ... only over Ponyville, so I would never lose my friends and the friends, that I am going to have, when I get there." Celestia finished

Luna thought. After a minute she replied:

" I guess it's OK. "

Hase smiled. He told them:

" Ready for a ride home? "

" Ready! " replied everypony but cadence, who just said "Bye! " and left.

The Tesseract opened the portal. The ponies could see the green hills near Ponyville. The old Ponyville. Everypony jumped in it and it closed behind them.
