a/n: and so we come to the final chapter of the story , and yes that means that this story is going to come to a close , but also set up to explain the side stories , along with the sequel so enjoy : )

NLR Once more unto the Breach

The ship was bustling with activity, with various ponies keeping an eye on things .

But the captain was bored out of his mind . He stood up and headed inside his ready room leaving his first officer Silver Stream in charge .

Once inside , he decided to just read something in attempt to pass the time . A few hours later he was engrossed into the book .

Well we are half way through towards this new galaxy , new star system and new planet . It is going to be awhile , but I've got all the time in the world to do this . Thought Adam as he kept reading .

Hours later he saw one of his crew ponies enter his ready room . "yes can I help you?" asked Adam setting his book down . "I believe you can sir , apparently something happened on one of the ships , a crew member has gone nuts which is why we had to pull out of slip space and well , we think that you could assist in the situation" she said . "I see , well I guess I wouldn't mind , alright which ship?" asked Adam gearing up .

"It's the NLR Moon Carrier , sir" she said . "Was there any security stationed on that ship?" . "A few guards sir , but this civilian has been rambling on and on about another war , as if he can 'predict' the future" .

"The guards did restrain him didn't they?" . "yes but they need your help to figure out how and why he's acting this way" she said .

"I take it your coming with me?" asked Adam grabbing his assault rifle .

"No but a three man security team is going with you just in case mostly of several marines and one spartan" she added turning to leave .

"Makes sense , alright then , I'm on my way I want Sargent Bullet Striker with me , he's one of my best officers and even helped fend off several ship boarding actions by the solar empire during the war" said Adam heading out of his ready room .

"I think I can do that" she said finally leaving . Hours later the three man squad along with a spartan and Bullet striker decked out in security armor with a colt 45 as his side arm. They all headed down to the hanger bay where they boarded a pelican .

Once inside they were given the briefing on what had happened . "So here it is , a civilian or is going nuts , and it's our job to find out why he's acting in such a way" said Adam .

Adam's POV

"So then what ? , once we do that , then we go back into slipstream until another problem comes up?" asked one marine .

"Normally I'd say yes on the matter , but I'm going to have you three stationed there on the NLR Moon Carrier just in case something does spring up" I said .

Soon the pelican arrived with it's door opening . It touched down and surprise surprise we were greeted with several lunar guards whom I had not met before .

I decided to head right to the brig to talk to this guy . "So , I take it , that you know something?" I asked .

"Oh I do , and it's the return of Solar Flare and the Solar Empire , they'll return and you will all die at her hooves" he said in a crazed state .

I raised an eyebrow at that . "Uh I don't know if your aware of this but we crushed her at Canterlot a few month's ago" I said .

"well , true but there is something else much worse than the Solar Empire , it's a war that none of you can win" he added . "Oh and who or what are we going to face?" I asked . "They go by the name of the Sith Empire , beyond that I don't know" he said .

"The sith empire ? , hold on I think I know what your talking about , listen up , whatever information that you have tell me" I said .

"The leader is darth malak , he's on a quest of vengeance to destroy the jedi , he also posses something stronger than magic , able to stop bullets and redirect grenades , so anything that you may be use to , it won't work on him , however his men can fall over easily to such things like that , to defeat him you must use energy swords or something equivalent like what they call vibroblades" he said .

Vibroblades ? , that's something I've heard only in Star wars : Knights of the Old Republic , Or Knights of the old republic II : The Sith Lords . I'll have to get knowledge somehow I thought .

"well the doctors are going to give you some medication to chill out , my security here will return you to your quarters , maybe this trip has gotten to you , or it could be the other way around , I don't know" I said . Finally he came out of whatever state that he was in earlier .

"huh , what happened ? , what am I doing here? , why am I here?" he asked . So many questions came from his mouth that even I didn't know .

Hours later he took his medication and was escorted by my security back to his quarters and I was left to ponder these questions .

Are we going to face this Sith Empire ? , Darth Malak ? , he was talking about the events of Knights of the Old Republic , I remember that game , quite a good one at that , now I have to head back I thought .

I got up and walked out of the brig, and left the ship with my security back to the hanger and later back to my ship. I took my off my armor , and put my weapon back on the couch so I can grab it easily .

We soon jumped back into slip space , and it would be a while before we arrived at our galaxy named Omega 267241, something told me that I would have to get back to my book , and yup I did just that , once again I left the bridge and went back to reading , something to pass the time .

Location : Omega 267241

we soon arrived in our new galaxy , hopefully we can still establish contact .

We soon found a star system named Beta 792571. Hours later we found a planet that was the same one as the lunar astronomers had spotted with there telescopes .

"Alright send in the colony ships , begin colorization" I said . "yes sir" said Lyra . Hours later the colony ships were sent in and we later heard that colonization was successful .

"Alright begin off loading our military hardware and the ponies" . Hours later the ponies were off loaded while dry docks were built .

Planet : New Equiss

Location : New Ponyville

I took a pelican down and I was surprised already the town was coming together , in fact several more towns and cities were springing up .

New Canterlot , New Manehatten , New Trottingham , New Appleloosa , New Fillydelphia , New Tall Tale , New Vanhoover , New Trottingham , New Hooffington , New Dodge Junction , New Midnight City ,New Cloudsdale , and New Ponyville.

Along with some cities that I never heard of before like , New Everfree ,New White tale , and even an old city brought back from history , New Unicornia .

Finally , a new planet to call home , a new planet for ponykind to settle on , and a new generation of ponies to be raised on I thought . Hours later I took a pelican back to my ship and started to reload all my stuff from my quarters and well move down to the planet .

Hours later I moved into the town that is New ponyville , already I could tell that this place was going to be perfect , though I would have to take a look around and see if I can find some kind of moon that and among other things .

A couple of minutes later , I had everything unpacked and was working on setting everything up . Hours later I saw Rainbow dash reunite with her family once again as the shadowbolts got there own training facility ,same with the army the marines , along with the navy and even the air force .

I did see our navel vessels from air craft carriers to guided missile cruisers and even submarines be lowered into the ocean next to the harbor of New Manehatten .

New Canterlot

Already , a new castle was being built for the lunar royal family , but what surprised Luna that she saw Blueblood and Bluebelle standing happily next to each other .

"Blueblood?" asked Luna confused. "Oh Aunt Luna , it is good to see you , it's a shame about what happened to aunt Celestia , a real shame , if only she listened to you" said Blueblood .

"That is true , which is why I'm offering you two a chance to be in the royal family" offered Luna . "Then we humbly accept it" said Blueblood with a wide smile.

"But don't think you can get away with what you could with Celestia , you will have to take part in the military , BOTH of you" said Luna with a glare .

"well I wouldn't mind , Celestia never had me take part in the former solar military at all" said Blueblood .

"that is why I plan to have you both be in charge of the military and the night guard in the new castle" said Luna . "I can handle being in charge of the night guard , it was something I wanted to try" said Bluebelle .

"Very well then , now that you both have your titles and positions of power , in a few days this castle will be built and myself along with the rest of the lunar royal family will move in and begin to work on New Canterlot having a train system connect everywhere" said Luna .

A few days later

The new castle stood proud and tall , glistening it's self in the new sun , the lunar royal family moved in and started to setup everything from adding a armory , to adding apartments for those who didn't or couldn't get a house , to having several launch pads big enough for a pelican to land on , to having a dungeon big enough to house criminals , to having several bunkers should something go wrong , to even having a new hallway connecting to the throne room .

Princess Luna , Prince Orkan , Prince Concord , Princess Nightmare Moon , Princess Star Chaser , Quil feather , Prince Shadow , Lunar Descent , Lunar Nightmare , and Lunar Shine all setup there own rooms and Blueblood couldn't help but smile at this , he has a new family everything new about his new life .

Well I do have to say , I do plan to change from here on out thought Blueblood happily .

"Brother , what is it?" asked Bluebelle curiously .

"well dear sister , I think it's high time that we start to change how we act , cause now we have a lot more responsibilities to do , we are now part of a civilization that we can now help" said Blueblood .

"So , does that mean we have found ourselves a new home?" asked Bluebelle . "Oh yes we have , and a new family and a new role to play" added the now lunar prince .

One thing was for sure , that now matter what , Prince Blueblood and Princess Bluebelle would both rise to the challenge and take on whatever it is that would dare threaten the New Lunar Republic .

Hours later the upper class citizens from there transport started to enter Canterlot , with wide smiles on there faces knowing what they wanted to do to celebrate there separation from the former Solar Empire . While Blueblood didn't mind one bit , he also had to marvel at what bright new future was no is layed out before him , other than that the lunar prince and his sister got there own rooms so they could catch up on what they had missed .

New Ponyville

Already the town was coming together nicely , the ponies were helping each other , the mayors office was built , followed by the golden oaks library , the school house , along with the newly christened Sweet Apple Acres .

Everything was built just as the ponies had imagined it at least from there memories . Other than that a few new additions were added , such as a game shop , a video rental store , along with a new toy shop .

Dusk Shine couldn't help but smile at this new city , Barbra and Spike remembered it quite well , everything was built right from memory. "well at least guys , we have a town to call our own" said Dusk Shine . "yea , I couldn't agree more" said Spike .

Though he and Barbra are the last of there kind , they can repopulate and bring the dragon race back , and even Zecora could if she ever so chooses to . Meanwhile Rainbow Dash , and Rainbow Blitz had moved in together , however they had there rooms separate from eachother .

Rainbow Dash , had packed away ALL of her old Wonderbolt stuff , ranging from posters to plush dolls of Spitfire and Soarin , event things signed by them .

But she got several new stuff , mostly about the Shadowbolts , the elite flying fighting team able to take on anypony else in the air .

She took the box full of wonderbolt stuff and put it in her closet all packed up , knowing one day , should ever settle down and have kids , she'll show them what it was like back in the day to grow up to be a wonderbolt to fly and pull off various stunts and tricks .

Yea that's IF , I still have a job to do , train the shadowbolts , they'll need me and they still do , just not as much as before thought Rainbow . She even had once her own wonderbolt outfit .

Yea i'm sure somepony would want to bring back the wonderbolts , if they ever do that is . The rainbow maned mare looked around and spotted photos of her and the shadowbolts including several during there days training .

She decided to put those into a photo album , and keep adding pictures , this would be quite a hobby to her , snapping pictures and putting them into a photo album titled Rainbow Dash's personal history with the New Lunar Republic .

Finally she had everything unpacked , including her colt 45 pistol . Well I'd say that should be everything , unless I missed something thought Rainbow Dash . She looked around and everything was there .

Beta Control Center

A new pony by the name of Moon flare was working on getting the entire station setup , various ponies were working around the clock , while Moon Flare walked around looking out of windows seeing various dry docks for the fleet that arrived . Hours later she saw the larger ships dock after they emptied there cargo , the main navy it's self .

There is one thing I can't seem to get off my mind thought Moon Flare . How in the world , did they even get those ships out of the ocean and into a ship that size .

That was the number one thing that puzzled her , she soon made it to her office and much to her surprise .

Everything was where she wanted it , though oddly she would have a couple of ponies over and they would discuss a couple of things .

Whatever they were it didn't matter much to her , all it mattered to her was seeing them leave .

Moon Flare sat and decided to just gaze at the stars , wondering if she could ever contact her family , again back in Moon City . Hours later , a pony walked in her name was , Powder .

"excuse me , I'm here for a job here" said Powder .

"Oh yes , take a seat" said Moon Flare . With that said , Powder took her seat and the two began talking . Elsewhere , Mimic and a few other ponies were talking , while on there lunch break .

"So anyway , I heard a few things about the solar lunar war" said Mimic . "Oh ?, and what might those 'things' be?" asked Dream Catcher now curious.

"I heard that the reason Celestia became a tyrant and all evil like that , was because that ponies respected her day , that she started to pass laws increasing work hours , taxing the farmers and there crops , also she kept the day up longer than normal , not allowing Princess Luna to raise the moon , that and coupled with possibly that #1 : she banished Luna and her sister Nightmare Moon to the Moon for 1,000 years leaving Princess Star Chaser to hate Celestia for doing that" said Mimic . Most of the ponies were surprised but ignored her nonetheless .

"well that is plausible but , there is one other theory or possibility , maybe the reason Celestia became a tyrant was because she wanted more power to herself to better secure herself upon the throne , that and couple with banishing her sisters , and passing unfair laws while having guards patrol the streets of old Canterlot during the entire day , add to the fact that she was also paranoid about another invasion by the changelings , that she let all of that go right to her head" explained another pony by the name of Crescent Song .

"Oh ?, and who might you be?" asked Mimic .

"I'm Crescent song , as I was sent here by Princess Luna to help out in the construction of this station" said Crescent Song .

"Well I see , I don't mind you being here , just don't screw anything up and you'll be just fine" said Mimic with a smile. With that said Crescent Song got back to work , mostly working on installing bulkheads .

Hours later more ponies came on board and began to lend a hoof in helping , with the construction of several decks, energy shield generators , fighter bays , missile launchers , gun turrets , cloaking device , and a communications array for sending messages back to the moon , to the capital of the New Lunar Republic , Moon City .

Hours later , the entire station was operational and later an entire web of defense satellites were deployed and also operational so the entire planet was safe and well protected from any kind of ship wide bombardment . Hours later the planter y shields were installed to further add to the defense of the planet .

Epilogue

Six years later

Location : New Equiss , New Canterlot

Princess Luna was working on , several new ideas along with Pinkie Pie and Bubble Berry , while surprise was already working with the rest of the shadowbolts to get everything back into order .

"Alright , I recommend that we at least keep , the old tanks and fighter jets , that way in case some other race tries to attack us we will be ready to deploy the fleet , while at the sametime lock down the planet with not only the defense grid but also the plantery shields as well" said Blueblood .

"I agree nephew , you seem to be getting good at this" said Luna with a smirk . "I only learn from the best" said Blueblood with a returning smirk .

When ever Luna was alone she would stare often into space with a frown on her face , thinking back to that day when she was forced to kill Celestia , her own sister , who had turned into the evil Solar Flare ,often she would begin to cry herself to sleep every single night from what she was forced to do , but at the same time she also had a job to do , protect her ponies from any kind of harm from the Solar Empire .

"I also have to say this , once we have our military up and running again , we should make certain improvements like add more members to the shadowbolts , set up boot camps and basic training for both the army and marines , and add more squadrons in the air force" said Bluebelle.

"I happen to agree with my sister" said Blueblood with a knowing grin .

"Very well , I believe we can do that" said Luna . Hours after the meeting Princess Luna later joined with Princess Star Chaser and Princess Nightmare Moon .

"We feel your sadness Luna" said Nightmare Moon placing a hoof over her sister , at that point Luna grabbed Nightmare Moon and hugged her while crying. All Nightmare could do was just hold her sister.

"You think that Luna would be able to recover from this ?" asked Star Chaser . "I don't know , this is the first time in over 1,000 years that Luna ever took a life" said Nightmare Moon . "Your right Nightmare , this is the first time that I was ever forced to do such a thing , but I think no I know I can pull through this , but I will need support" said Luna .

"Then you've got it , we are with you all the way , your entire family is" said Nightmare Moon with a soft smile .

With that said the lunar sisters looked at the stars once again knowing that there future is going to be a bright one .

Luna looked towards her sisters then back to the stars , knowing that they were right , in fact Blueblood and Bluebell joined them .

"yes I know that the future for the New Lunar Republic" said Blueblood . "I couldn't agree more Blueblood" said Nightmare moon .

She put one of her hooves around Blueblood with a smile .

"yea , I see great things happenieng to us" said BlueBelle . With that said the three lunar sisters plus Blueblood and Bluebelle all looked towards the stars .
