*CFFSH*

A bolt of lightning erupted in the sky over the heart of Shiganshina, splitting off in five separate bolts that struck in specific parts of the district, the main bolt striking the ground below. Hannes, Annie, and Nile all looked out and saw the bolts, unsure of what they meant or what was going on. Many of the other soldiers looked up as well, the bolts leaving a mysterious feeling of awe through their bodies.
________________________________________________________________________________________

As Eren and Rainbow Dash charged at Hunter, one of the bolts of lightning struck in between them, singing Hunter on the tip of his snout while Eren and Rainbow Dash were safely blown back as the landed on their feet. Eren and Rainbow Dash resumed their determined poise before Hunter, but were shocked by the sight of red rings pulsing before them in between Hunter and Eren and Rainbow Dash. Eren and Rainbow Dash followed their eyes to the source of the rings. What they saw made Rainbow Dash gasp.

Floating in the middle was a thick, gold choker with a red gem in the shape of a lightning bolt. Hunter growled dismissively as he lunged again at Rainbow Dash and Eren, only for Hunter’s face to crash into an invisible barrier where the pulses were moving across. Hunter backed away, frightened by the artifact that protected the two of them.

“What…” Rainbow Dash wondered. “What’s my Element of Harmony doing here?”

Eren gasped, finding the name of the necklace familiar.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Another lightning bolt struck the colossal titan’s foot before it could crush Applejack and Mikasa. The colossal titan quickly pulled its foot away as it looked upon orange rings pulsing over the two of them in a protective barrier. Mikasa and Applejack looked up to see a similar gold choker floating in the air above them, but the gem in the center was an orange apple with a sliver of a green gem for a leaf.

“Is that my Element?” asked Applejack incredulously.

Mikasa stared at the necklace in pure wonder, as if the pulses protecting them made her feel safe.
________________________________________________________________________________________

As the titan reached for Jean and Fluttershy, one of the five lightning bolts arced up and struck the titan in the stomach, hurling it back and away from the two of them. Jean suddenly felt new life in him as the loud bang of the lightning sounded before him. Fluttershy squeaked and turned to look in front of her, surprised to see the titan blown away from them.

As she and Jean continued looking, pink-colored pulses spread out in front of them. As they looked to the source, Fluttershy breathed in heavily as a gold choker with a pink-butterfly gem floated before them.

“My Element!” Fluttershy gasped. “What does this mean?”

Jean shuddered in amazement at the necklace before him.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Before the titan could eat Spike as Rarity struggled to maneuver her blades towards the titan’s neck in her frustration and lack of time, a bolt struck the titan’s shoulder, exploding it off its body as its arm fell to the ground with spike in it. The fingers began to smolder, allowing Spike to crawl out of the arm and back to Sasha and Rarity.

Sasha hugged herself with her cut palms pressed onto her shoulders, but her pain seemed to subside as purple-colored rings pulsed before them, calming the three of them. Rarity, Sasha, and Spike looked up to see a gold-choker with a purple, diamond-shaped gem floating before them. They didn’t even notice the titans that tried to reach for them, only to be blocked by the barrier the pulsing rings created.

“Hey!” called Spike, pointing up. “That’s Rarity’s Element of Harmony!”

Sasha looked to Rarity with confusion, unsure of what this “Element of Harmony” was. Looking back at it though, her troubles almost seemed to melt away.
________________________________________________________________________________________

The bolt of lightning struck between Pinkie Pie and Conny, its loud bang interrupting their concentration as they fell to the ground. Conny tried crawling forwards, only for his head to hit an invisible wall. Getting up to his knees, he felt about the wall with his hands.

“Oy!” he shouted. “What’s going on here?”

As he continued feeling the wall, light-blue rings descended down along the wall and faded into the ground. Conny turned and looked up to see a gold-choker in the air. As the titans tried to reach at Conny and Pinkie Pie in vain, Conny was more focused at the gem in the center of it: a light-blue balloon.

“Hey,” he shuddered. “What is that?”

Pinkie Pie’s eyes and smiled widened as she looked upon the necklace with mounting joy.

“Well, if it isn’t my Element of Harmony!” she greeted.

Conny continued looking up at it, unsure of what exactly he was looking at or what was happening.
________________________________________________________________________________________

In the town square, before the main bolt of lightning could strike down, it broke off into a plethora of smaller bolts that put a barrier between Armin, Twilight, Luna, and the royal guards and the titans. The light was blinding enough for the ponies and Armin to shield their eyes.

Once the light faded, Twilight, Armin, and the guards looked up to see a tiara floating in the air above them where magenta-colored rings pulsed down from it. There were tiny, ovular blue gems along the front of the band, but what really set it apart was the magenta star-shaped gem in the center that shared the likeness of Twilight’s cutie mark.

“What?” Twilight gasped. “This is impossible. What is my Element of Harmony doing here? I thought there wasn’t enough magic.”

Armin continued to look up at the Element, enchanted by its presence. The Element then began to glow bright, but neither Twilight, Armin, nor the guards cared. The tiara burst into a sphere of light that covered them all in a comfortable, warm, glow.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Pinkie Pie’s Element grew bright before a sphere of white light covered both her and the mystified Conny.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Rarity’s Element glowed as a ball of light spread out from the gem in the center and threw its light over Rarity, Spike, and Sasha.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Jean and Fluttershy watched in relaxation as Fluttershy’s Element blew out into a ball of light that covered the both of them.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Mikasa and Applejack stared out at Applejack’s Element before it burst into light and covered them up in it.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Eren and Rainbow Dash looked to Hunter with smug looks on their faces as, unbeknownst to them, her Element glowed bright.

“No!” Hunter yelled.

The Element’s glowing became bright white as it transformed into a sphere that covered the both of them.
________________________________________________________________________________________

The light faded around Eren, and he found himself floating in an ethereal space lit in milky, cloudy blue nebulas. Eren looked about him as stars hung right before him like fireflies trapped in time. Looking about he saw as Armin, Mikasa, Jean, Conny, and Sasha were also with him, floating about in the space with their uniforms as good as new like him. As they looked around, all six of them landed on their feet on an invisible surface.

“Oy,” Jean spoke. “Where are we?”

“Jean!” Armin cried, running over and hugging him. “You’re okay!”

“Hey, watch it!” he shouted back. “I’m still hurt in the…”

It was at that moment that Jean felt his head, and it was perfectly fine.

“I’m okay?” wondered Jean. “Yes! I’m okay!”

Jean then picked up Armin by the waist and twirled him around in jubilation. Mikasa felt her ribs about, not feeling any pain in them. She gasped, surprised by her miraculous healing.

“Oy!” Eren shouted up into the vast space. “Where are we? Who brought us here?”

“It is alright,” cooed a soft, motherly voice. “You are all safe here.”

Eren and the others turned forwards to see a mirage-like white body walk towards him. The body began to assume its form, and Armin gasped as he could see a white alicorn with an ever-flowing mane of magenta, purple, green, and blue coming towards them.

“Y– You’re…” stammered Armin laboriously, “You’re Princess Celestia!”

“And you must be Armin Arlert,” she responded, standing before him and offering her hoof. “A pleasure to meet you at last.”

Armin clasped his hands over Celestia’s hoof and shook it vigorously. Celestia chuckled fondly at Armin’s energy.

“Princess Celestia,” Sasha spoke, “could you please tell me why you brought us here?”

“Whatever do you mean, Sasha?” asked Celestia. “It was the Elements of Harmony that sent us here.”

Eren and Armin gasped upon hearing the term again.

“Forgive me,” Mikasa spoke, “but I’m not sure I understand what these Elements of Harmony are. Could you please explain?”

“Of course, Mikasa,” Celestia responded. “The Elements of Harmony are a powerful Equestrian magic that can only be wielded by Twilight and her friends. I had explained to them that there wasn’t enough magic on your world for them to be used. If this were the case, this war of yours might have ended much quicker in your favor.”

“Hey,” Conny wondered, looking around him. “Where’s Pinkie? Where are the other ponies for that matter?”

“They are resting… somewhere else for now. Just rest assured that you’ll be with them again once you leave this place.”

“Speaking of that,” added Jean, “where are we?”

“You are within the realm of magic. It is a place that is still very foreign to me, but it is a place that embodies the magic that all creatures, ponies, dragons, humans, and every creature in between possesses.”

“What?” Eren gasped. “What does that mean?”

“But what kind of magic can we possess?” asked Armin. “We’re only humans.”

“No one is just a human,” explained Princess Celestia, “much like nopony is just a pony. We’re all gifted with the opportunity to achieve greatness. As you can see, not everyone uses these gifts properly, and it throws their hearts into darkness. But you, however, despite the events that have been laid before you, you have kept your heads and your hearts high, and it is for your virtues and the friendships you’ve made with my little ponies, that you represent the spirits of the Elements of Harmony for Earth.”

The humans were left silent, unsure what to make of this.

“The Elements of Harmony?” asked Armin.

“Of Earth?” added Sasha.

“The magic of friendship exists on each and every world,” explained Celestia, “no matter the creatures that inhabit it. Like Twilight and her friends awakened the power of the Elements, all that was needed was a little… ‘spark,’ from you that would awaken your Elements, and you have all clearly showed this during the ponies time here.”

Celestia walked towards Sasha and stood before her, her mere presence making Sasha weak at the knees.

“Sasha Braus,” Celestia began, lowering her head to her gaze, “from the way you would lend your blades to your friend Rarity instead of using them to defend yourself, you represent Earth’s Element of Generosity.”

Celestia’s head tilted lower down, the tip of her horn placing itself over Sasha’s heart. The tip of Celestia’s horn glowed and a bright, glowing, purple gem appeared over her heart. Celestia lifted her head back up and gave Sasha a grateful nod before stepping aside to Conny.

“Conny Springer,” said Celestia, “from the way you raised Pinkie Pie’s spirits the past couple of days, even when you were surrounded by titans, just seconds away from your certain death, you represent Earth’s Element of Laughter.”

Celestia lowered her horn to Conny’s chest, charging its tip as a blue balloon appeared over his heart. Celestia pulled back and gave Conny a nod. As Conny looked to her in reverence, she stepped to Jean, whose appearance before him almost frightened him.

“Jean Kirschtein,” Celestia spoke, “even on the first day she came to your world, you put Fluttershy under your wing and protected her with your gentle love. Because of your caring nature towards one of my more fragile ponies, you represent Earth’s Element of Kindness.”

Celestia laid the tip of her glowing horn on Jean’s heart, were a pink butterfly appeared, making Jean gasp in shock. Celestia giggled as she pulled her head up, gently caressing his face along the way. Celestia gave Jean a playful wink that left Jean blushing even as she moved on to Armin.

“Armin Arlert,” addressed Celestia. “Your brilliant planning and way with words have gotten your friends and my ponies out of troubles too many times to count. Your intelligence both on and off the battlefield and collaboration with your friends, including my former student Twilight Sparkle, allows you to represent Earth’s Element of Magic.”

Armin breathed contently as he felt Celestia’s warm horn touch his chest and looked as a magenta six-pronged star formed on his chest. Both Celestia lifted her head up and gave Armin a thankful nod, which Armin returned with one of his own. Celestia stepped aside to see Mikasa.

“Mikasa Ackerman,” stated Celestia, “your strong sense of unbreakable resolve and honor was a major strength for the Military. Your passion of doing right for the world and the people who inhabit it makes you represent Earth’s Element of Honesty.”

Celestia placed her horn on Mikasa’s chest, where the glowing on her horn entered her heart, where an orange apple formed upon it.

“Thank you, Princess Celestia,” Mikasa said with respect.

Celestia placed her horn off and gave Mikasa a content nod. Lastly, Celestia moved towards Eren who stood with courage and determination before her.

“Eren Jaeger,” Celestia spoke, “your devotion and camaraderie with your friends and comrades is among the greatest that I’ve ever seen in my many millennia of living. With the friendship and pure platonic love you and Rainbow Dash have shared, you represent Earth’s Element of Loyalty.”

Celestia placed her horn on Eren’s chest, where a red lightning bolt appeared. Eren looked back to Celestia with honor and gratitude as she pulled her head away, giving Eren a nod.

“Gather ‘round, young ones,” Celestia softly called.

As if not by their own accord, Sasha, Conny, Jean, Armin, and Mikasa gathered around Princess Celestia as instructed. She then unfurled her wings and wrapped them around the backs of the humans before her, pulling them into her chest. Sasha and Jean both hugged Celestia, enamored by her soft coat. Conny, Mikasa, Armin, and Eren all laid a hand on Celestia’s neck and back.

“Thank you all for looking out after my little ponies,” she said, nuzzling each one of their faces with her own face. “I cannot express how happy I am that my ponies came to know you. But there is one last thing to be done, and you must return to Earth.”

Celestia backed away from the six humans, where the stood still as they watched Celestia back away.

“The battle is not yet over,” Celestia stated, “and now I know that you shall win. Now go! Shine the light of hope for humanity's future.”

Celestia, as gracefully as she walked, jumped into the air and flapped her wings, her body glowing bright. At that second, the special markings on each of the humans’ chests split off from them, floating in front of them with an aura covering each of them.

The markings then began to spin around all of the humans in one large orbit. As the spinning went faster and faster, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, jean, Conny, and Sasha all felt themselves lifted off their feet and floating up in the air. As they continued rising, the bodies of each of the humans began to glow as the markings flew about them faster.

At that moment, each of the humans felt a force rush through each fiber of their being, making them force their arms out as the bright light covered them all in one luminous orb. Celestia watched from above as rays of light shone through the orb as the markings whipped at speeds too fast to see. The orb then exploded, covering the area and Celestia in its light.
________________________________________________________________________________________

The light faded, and Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Spike, Luna, and the two guards stood in the square where Twilight and Armin were. While Twilight, Luna, and the two guards scanned the area to find Armin, the others looked about to try and find out where they were. The titans that stood in the alleys stood still, unsure if there was a barrier still blocking them.

“Where’d Eren go?” Rainbow Dash shouted.

“I can’t find Jean!” Fluttershy cried, suddenly looking at her once-injured hoof. “My hoof! My wing!”

“What’s going on?” Applejack wondered.

“I demand an answer!” Pinkie Pie bellowed.

Twilight looked as the titans stood still, unsure by their motives. Just then, a wind began to pick up and blow towards the north. Twilight looked up to the other directions to find that the wind, by the leaves it picked up, were all blowing towards the northern part of Shiganshina.

“What’s happening?” Twilight wondered. “A tornado?”

Twilight could see as a mass of leaves and other light debris spun in a twister inside the middle city, between where Twilight and her friends stood.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Hunter looked in awe at the sight above him, knowing that this storm was far from natural. Both Hanji and Kirill used Hunter’s distraction to their advantage and quietly ran from him and towards the district.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Hannes and Annie looked up to the twister that was forming. Lightning bolts struck the twister, forming it into a large ball of dust and leaves.

“What…” Hannes gasped. “What is that?”

The ball began to erupt with beams of multi-colored light. As more beams burst from the ball of dust, the sphere of wind exploded out into a bright light, shooting off magenta stars, blue balloons, red lightning bolts, pink butterflies, purple gems, and orange apples.

Down below, the soldiers, guards, as well as the ponies down at the square shielded their eyes from the light while Levi stared upon it with sheer intrigue. As the light died down, six human figures were visible, floating above the town with long capes draped behind them.

Each of the ponies and Spike looked up as the light faded enough for them to see the humans clearly in the sky. What they saw before them made each of them gasp uncontrollably, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash each smiling.

Floating in the air was Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Conny, and Sasha, but in place of their Military attire, each one was equipped from the neck down with gleaming golden armor that resembled their uniforms, the pads covering their upper backs, shoulders, and chests up to the bottom of the torso. The abdomen and mid to lower back was covered with platinum chain mail that was fitted snugly onto their stomachs. Another set of gold chain mail was wrapped around the waists, much like the sashes on their uniforms. The arms, gauntlets ,and boots were also bright gold while the legs were made of platinum plates.

Each of their capes were in a different color: Eren’s being red, Mikasa’s being orange, Armin’s being magenta, Jean’s being pink, Conny’s being light-blue, and Sasha’s being purple. However, Mikasa’s red scarf was still tied around her neck.

Equipped to both of their sides were long, slender sheaths that were shaped like wings. Each sheath only had one slot, but sticking out from them both were the handles of arming swords, also gold. Along each of the front sides of the handle, were two triggers much like the operational devices on their 3D Maneuver Gear. However, there was one other button on the back side just below the hilt.

“Oh… my… god…” Twilight managed to get out as she realized what had happened, he eyes widen and wavering.

Eren and the others began to look at each other, surprised to see themselves in their new attire.

“What is this armor?” asked Jean.

“Are these the Elements of Harmony?” wondered Armin.

Mikasa placed her hand on her sword and drew it from its sheath. Mikasa looked amazed at the craftsmanship of the weapon. The blade was just as long as the ones she used for her Maneuver Gear and had a half-inch border made of diamond with an orange-garnet center.

As she looked upon her blade, her mouth went agape and her eyes shut as a gentle breeze swirled around and up her body. As the wind faded, her eyes opened with new life as she looked at her weapon with new understanding.

“Everyone,” Mikasa called, “draw your blades!”

Everyone turned to acknowledge Mikasa, and then, as instructed, draw their blades out of their sheaths. Like their capes, the centers of their blades matched in color, with Eren’s blades having a ruby center, Armin’s having a red-beryl center, Jean’s having a pink-spinel center, Conny’s having a Paraiba-tourmaline center, and Sasha’s having an amethyst center.

Like Mikasa, gusts blew around Eren and the others as they too closed their eyes and relaxed as the wind made its way about them. When it faded, Eren and the others looked upon their weapons as if they had known them all their lives.

“Wow,” Conny gasped. “Just wait until the others see us.”

“I think they already are,” Sasha mentioned, pointing at the stunned soldiers and guards below.

An angry roar was heard, and the humans turned to the eastern side of Shiganshina to see Hunter flying at them, looking ready to kill. Erwin, seeing this, ran forwards into the town.

“EVACUATE!” he bellowed. “EXIT THE CITY AND GATHER TO THE NORTH!”

Most, if not, all of the soldiers were still along the northern and northeastern edges of the city and heard the order. At once, the soldiers swung up to the rooftops and flew across them, as well as the numerous titans down below.

“Everyone!” Armin shouted to his comrades. “Make sure this battle doesn’t escape Shiganshina! Eren, Mikasa, you try and go at it first. Everyone else stay back and wait to give them assistance.”

“Got it,” grunted Jean, looking at Eren and Mikasa together.

Pushing the top-front triggers on their swords, Jean, Armin, Conny, and Sasha leaned back and gently floated backwards and spread out, giving plenty of room for Eren and Mikasa. Hunter, fast approaching, breathed in, his mouth glowing red.

Eren and Mikasa both spread their arms to the side and folded them in as if they were each grabbing a very large object, forming a semicircle with their arms. Hunter breathed fire out, the flames headed for Eren and Mikasa. Eren and Mikasa both pressed the bottom triggers on their swords, producing two translucent shields, inverted so the arcs were facing Eren and Mikasa. Eren and Mikasa’s shields were colored the same as their capes and swords. The fire flew into the shields where they swirled around, the odd nature of the flames causing Hunter to stop and hover before Eren and Mikasa.

Eren and Mikasa then swung their arms to their centers, their wrists banging together. In the same instant, the inverted shields collapsed into thin cones, squeezing and shooting the fire out into two fast rounds, each one hitting the surprised Hunter on the base of each wings.

With his wings useless, Hunter plummeted towards the ground. Eren and Mikasa, pushing the top-front triggers on their handles, shot straight down at Hunter. Mikasa watched as Hunter fell atop the buildings, shrouding him in dust and dirt. Soaring down faster than Eren, she fell upright and lifted her swords above her head. Before she could strike down on the enemy inside the cloud, a large tail swung up from it and struck Mikasa.

Mikasa made a hard grunt as she was sent flying back and past Armin and Jean.

“Jean!” shouted Armin. “Help Eren!”

“Help Eren,” scoffed Jean as he flew down to where Hunter was. “As if the guy who scored higher than me needs my help!”

Jean soared down past Eren as he aimed for where Hunters head would be. Just then, Hunter leapt out of the crater it made and aimed its mouth towards Jean, his newly healed wings keeping him up. Jean fumbled for the right button, but Hunter’s mouth passed over Jean and bit down, locking Jean inside.

“Jean!” Eren shouted.

Right afterwards, Jean burst out of Hunter’s cheek, splattering his armor, cape, and weapon in fresh blood and saliva. Hunter roared in pain as Jean flew up beside Eren as they watched Hunter hold the side of his head where the hole was.

“For the Element of Kindness,” Eren joked, “that was pretty brutal.”

“At least I got him once,” Jean retorted.

“Say Jean, let’s say we get him again?”

Hunter turned and faced Eren and Jean with extreme anger and hurt, and with a turn in its body, it lunged at both of them. Eren and Jean gave a companionable nod as both pressed the top triggers on their swords and lunged out at him.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Levi looked upon the titans that were trekking in from the north and flew out above all the other soldiers, swinging past the colossal titans that hadn’t been killed and landing on the ground running to the hill where their equipment was.

A rainbow-colored blur flew above Levi’s head and landed on the other side of the hill where their equipment was. Rainbow Dash grabbed two cases in both hooves and carried them out to Levi, landing beside him with them.

“Nice to see you come,” Levi said coldly. “Where are the others?”

A faintly-purple bubble appeared and popped on Levi’s other side, and from inside it emerged Twilight, Luna, the two royal guards, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Spike. Twilight charged her horn as the cases that Rainbow Dash had set down opened up, revealing three large stacks of blades inside each one.

Twilight then picked up eight sets of eight blades, inserting each set into her friends’ (and the royal guards’) empty sheaths. Twilight then took out eight more pairs, attaching a pair to her operational devices, giving the two pairs to the unicorn guards, and attaching the rest into her friends’ operational devices. As Levi picked up blades and placed them into his sheaths, Twilight opened the second box, revealing smaller versions of the blades inside. Twilight picked five pairs from the box and placed four of them inside Spike’s sheaths while two more went into the top of Spike’s devices.

As the fully equipped ponies, Spike and Levi stood in a line, ready to face the titans coming from the north, the remaining soldiers and guards, including Erwin, Hanji, Kirill, Annie, Petra, and Shining Armor, ran forwards towards them. Erwin turned to face the remaining soldiers.

“Hanji!” called Erwin. “Lead Kirill and the rest of the Scouting Legion to the east and protect yourselves.

“Yes sir!” she called out. “You heard him!” she shouted to the Scouting Legion. “Follow me!”

Hanji, Kirill, Petra, and Annie ran forwards with the rest of the Scouting Legion ran east towards the titans advancing there.

“Hannes, Nile,” Erwin ordered, “you lead the Garrison and the Military Police to the west. Just keep your numbers strong and make sure that no titans get past you.”

“Understood, sir!” Hannes shouted as both he and Nile gave Erwin the salute.

With that Hannes and Nile ran to the west, the remaining Garrison and Military Police soldiers following them. Erwin then turned to Shining Armor and gave him a warm smile.

“Shining Armor,” he said, “you wouldn’t mind if I joined you along the northern edge of Shiganshina, would you?”

“Not at all,” Shining Armor spoke, his voice flustered with honor.

“Good. You and your guards will head there. Let’s move out!”

The two royal guards began to step back towards their other comrades.

“Good luck to you,” one of the guards bid as they turned away and galloped off towards Shining Armor.

Levi turned to watch Erwin head back towards Shiganshina with Shining Armor and the guards. Looking forwards, he saw as the titans began to come over the hill, making him realize something that caused him to gasp. Levi sprinted out towards the hill leaving the ponies and Spike to run after him.

“Levi?” Spike questioned. “What’s wrong?”

“The antidote!” he shouted. “It’s been left in the cart being trampled under the dirty feet of the titans as we speak.”

“What? No!”

“Twilight! Luna! You rush ahead and keep the antidote, or whatever’s left of it, safe. Me and the rest of your friends will take care of these titans.”

“Alright! Luna?”

“I’m right beside you, Twilight,” Luna responded.

Both alicorns pushed off and flew fast ahead of Levi and the others. At that point, Levi threw his arm out.

“Spread out!” he said. “We’re managing the north side of our little barrier here. Separate yourselves as efficiently as possible!”

Rarity, Spike, and Applejack turned right and spread away while Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie went out to the left. Levi came up to the first line of titans the came over the hill. Jumping up, he shot a hook into one of the front titan’s neck, reeling himself up towards him. Flicking his sword so that he held it blade side down, he began to spin in the air, becoming the unstoppable killing machine that he was.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Armin, Conny, and Sasha watched as Mikasa, Jean, and Eren all took on Hunter at once. What surprised Armin the most wasn’t how well the three of his friends were fighting, but how evenly matched they were with Hunter. Even with their new powers, Hunter seemed to adapt rather quickly.

As Eren and Mikasa both flew towards Hunter’s face towards the eyes, Hunter dipped backwards only allowing them to slice the bottom of his jaw. Hunter flew back and around to an upright position again, using his momentum to go towards Jean. Jean shot forth at Hunter as they both flew in towards each other.

The second Hunter opened his mouth for another bite, Jean looped down and then over Hunter’s neck, getting a perfect sight on the back of it. As he lowered down to take a shot, Hunter turned his body to the side, throwing off his aim and sending him soaring towards Hunter’s wing. Jean, finding his new target to be just as good, kept his sights for the base of Hunter’s wing.

Hunter flapped his wings down just as Jean reeled back to swing, throwing the bar of his wing right into Jean’s path. Without any time to redirect, Jean, threw his body upright and his arms over his head. Jean’s chest slammed into the bar of Hunter’s wing, sending him flipping towards the ground.

Eren and Mikasa swung back around, ready to have another shot. Hunter flew from the two of them in a seemingly apparent effort to escape. Eren and Hunter began to close in on Hunter’s back. At that moment, Hunter pulled his body up and unfurled his wings, slowing himself to a stop. Eren and Mikasa, knowing that they were too close to safely pull up or swing behind him, flew back to the side and cut a slit through Hunter’s wings, which they flew through.

The moment they passed through they felt as Hunter’s wings flapped forwards, catching both Eren and Mikasa upon them and pushing them with his motions. Hunter finished his flap with extra force, throwing Eren and Mikasa out in opposite directions. Hunter continued moving his wings, ascending higher into the air to keep from falling, the injuries on his jaw and wings healing. Armin, Conny, and Sasha ascended up to keep level with the dragon.

It’s no use, Armin thought. No matter what they try to do, he keeps them at bay.

Armin looked to the north seeing as the wall of colossal titans approached Erwin, Shining Armor, and the royals guards. As the colossal titans moved them back, they also had to fight the smaller normal titans that passed through towards them.

Erwin and the guards are being pushed to the brink, Armin observed. At this rate, everyone down there is going to die.

Armin then looked over at the hill where Levi and the ponies were fighting. He watched as Twilight and Luna stood in front of a cart placed next to a tree. Armin could recognize it as the cart that carried the titan antidote. Another plan began in Armin’s head, only for a stunning realization to hit him.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Armin watched as Twilight, Luna, and Shining Armor touched their horns together, producing a bright, powerful magic. Armin was amazed by this, knowing that such magic could not be used by a single unicorn. Stunning still was how powerful the aura that the three ponies created was even as it spread out over the soldiers along Wall Rose.
________________________________________________________________________________________

That’s it, thought Armin, a smile coming on his face.

“Everyone!” shouted Armin. “Quickly! Attack Hunter all at once!”

“What?” Sasha shouted. “We can’t do that! This is different than using our 3D Maneuver Gears, Armin. We could seriously hurt each other if we’re not careful!”

“That’s just it,” Armin said. “This war has never been about being careful. We’ve made many risky gambles and harebrained plans that just managed to pull together. If we want to win this war, right here and now, and save all of our friends, we have to make this last gamble!”

Sasha looked to Armin as if waiting for him to change his mind. Conny however, clearly looked as if Armin’s words had begun to spread inside of his spirit.

“Let’s go then!” Conny shouted. “It’s now or never. Come on, Armin! We have a war to win.”

Conny and Armin both soared off to Eren, Mikasa, and Jean. Sasha wrung her hands as she was left alone while the rest of her friends went off to face the dragon. Feeling the isolation overrunning her fear of Hunter, she clicked the top triggers of her swords and sped up towards the battle.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Eren flew alongside the right side of Hunter’s neck, running his blade along the neck. As Hunter turned to the right and tucked his chin to his neck, bending it in a tighter curve. Eren forced himself to fly upwards in order to avoid a collision. Hunter turned to look at Eren as he slowed to a stop, angered by his inability to stop him. At the moment, Eren’s eyes widened upon seeing both Armin and Conny approaching.

Hunter turned to see Armin and Conny just as they put their feet up, aiming them at Hunter’s neck. Hunter couldn’t react fast enough as Armin and Conny’s heels drove into the side. Hunter was hurled back into the street, his body tumbling across to the east side of the town and destroying the buildings that his body passed over. Eren looked down at Hunter, surprised to see how hard Hunter had been hit.

“Don’t stop!” Armin shouted as he and Conny passed him. “Keep attacking!”

“Right!” Eren called.

Eren followed the two of them to where Hunter had lied, hoping to get to him before he could recover. Hunter rolled to his feet and shot back into the air, lunging for Armin and Conny.

“Shields!” Armin shouted.

Armin, Eren, and Conny quickly split off into a triangular formation with a gap large enough for Hunter to pass. At the same time, Armin, Eren, and Conny pressed the bottom trigger on their swords, creating a large, silver, triangular shaped barrier which Hunter crashed into. The barrier shattered, but its damage on Hunter was noticeable enough, as the top of Hunter’s head began to bleed.

Hunter wiped the shards of of the barrier from his eyes, completely unaware of Sasha, Jean, and Mikasa flying under and up at him. Turning their bodies upside down, the three of them crouched down upon Hunter’s stomach and pushed off their combined magical strength throwing Hunter into the air.

As Hunter tried to recover from the recent blows to his body, Eren and Armin both flew out behind Hunter and flew around both sides of his head, Armin coming from the left and slashing Hunter’s right eye while Eren came around from the right and slashed the left eye.

With Hunter completely blinded and still rising up from Mikasa, Jean, and Sasha’s kick, Eren and Armin flew up above Hunter, Conny joining them from the east and Mikasa, Jean, and Sasha meeting them from below Hunter, forming a ring. Hunter finally reached the end of his arc beginning to fall back down to the ground. Armin looked at each of his friends, and understanding what they were to do, they gave each other a nod.

The six of them squeezed their top triggers on their swords and shot down towards Hunter, their feet stretched out to kick. Each of their feet began to glow a bright white as a red cone formed below. As they reached Hunter, Eren, Mikasa, and Conny all let out a shout as their feet collided into Hunter’s stomach.

The force exerted sent Hunter plummeting to the ground at an alarming rate. Hunter crashed into the ground upon his back, right below Eren’s home. The force was such that it shook a large portion of the city, shaking the ground in and out of the city and leveling many of the buildings in the immediate area while the windows of further buildings shook or shattered.

Erwin and Shining Armor felt the ground shake under their feet, knocking off their balance, as well as the balance of the titans and the guards.

“What just happened?” Shining Armor asked.

“I’m not sure,” Erwin answered, “but I’m certain its good.”
________________________________________________________________________________________

Armin and the others looked down upon Hunter as he laid sprawled on the street. His body was broken in several places and he was bleeding profusely, but Armin could see that he was breathing and still alive. Armin then looked back out to the battlefield north of Shiganshina, looking upon the cart that Twilight and Luna were guarding.

Armin aimed his sword at the cart and pressed the button on the back of the handle with his thumb. Eren and the others looked confused and shocked as the blade of Armin’s sword began to glow a bright magenta.

“Armin,” wondered Eren, “what are you doing?”

“See that cart over there?” responded Armin. “I need help bringing the jars of antidote over! Just focus on that and help me!”

Eren and Mikasa, respecting Armin’s request, looked out to the cart that Twilight and Luna guarded and pointed their swords out, pressing the button at the back of the handle, their swords also glowing red and orange, respectively.
________________________________________________________________________________________

At the tree where Luna and Twilight were, boxes inside the cart began to rattle, making Twilight look behind her, unsure of why they were moving.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Jean, Conny, and Sasha also pointed their swords at the cart and pressed the buttons on their handles, their swords glowing in their distinct colors as well.
________________________________________________________________________________________

Twilight then watched incredulously as each of the jars flew out of the cart and and into the air towards Shiganshina. Twilight turned around and flew backwards, trying to keep up with the bottles but losing them.

“What are they doing?” Twilight wondered.

“Twilight,” called Luna, pointing at six faintly-glowing lights above Shiganshina, “look!”

Twilight watched as the jars flew straight towards them, leaving her in an even bigger state of confusion.
________________________________________________________________________________________

The jars from the cart finally reached Eren and the others. Armin concentrated on each of the jars, and watched as the lids unscrewed off, the liquid inside floating out and forming into a liquid ball in the center of the ring the six of them had formed.

“Armin,” asked Eren, “what is all this for?”

“Eren,” replied Armin, a nostalgic smile appearing on his face, “on that day, you declared that you would kill all the titans, right?”

“Armin… you don’t mean–”

“And that’s exactly what we’re going to do. All of us.”

Armin raised his sword up into the air, the liquid in the center shimmering slightly. Eren, knowing that Armin was planning something, raised his sword in the air.

“Every…” he spoke, “last… fucking one.”

Mikasa soon followed, the antidote now becoming bright enough to not even appear as a liquid anymore, but just a ball of light. At once, Jean, Conny, and Sasha raised their swords up, the antidote becoming a bright star above the city.
________________________________________________________________________________________

The light was bright enough that not only the humans, but the titans, were completely transfixed by the light, unable to look away or continue the fighting.

“No… way,” Rainbow Dash muttered.
________________________________________________________________________________________

The jeweled centers of Eren and his friends’ swords changed into solid colors, the bars slowly snaking out of their blades and orbiting around them. As with their markings in the realm of magic, the bars spun around their ring faster and faster, until it looked as if a rainbow-colored band was swirling around them.

The bright light of the antidote began to pull away as large gobs of it flew into the rainbow swirl and merged inside, making it glow even brighter. One of the globs flew towards Eren’s chest, fusing with his armor. Eren made a heavy gasp as bright, veiny lines spread through his face. The others, seeing this, also gasped in shock.

“Eren!” Mikasa shouted.

“Are you alright?” asked Sasha.

The lines in Eren’s face faded away as Eren took calming breaths, looking back at Sasha.

“Never better,” he spoke.

Once all of the antidote fused into the rainbow, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Conny, and Sasha, all at once, slashed their swords downwards, aiming the blades at Hunter below. A large, bright, rainbow-colored beam shot down towards the earth right at Hunter. Looking up, Hunter saw the beam coming at him, and all he could do in response was breath heavily in one last time.

The beam struck Hunter, producing a massive explosion and rainbow-colored mushroom cloud that decimated Shiganshina. Following the explosion was a white shockwave of light that rushed over the area. As the shockwave collided with the colossal titans and the smaller titans below, they all exploded in a sparkling burst before they merely disappeared.

The humans and ponies ducked for cover as the shockwave passed over them, only to feel a strong gust pass over them. As they got back up to find themselves completely unharmed, they watched as the shockwave passed over the land as it moved over Wall Maria, vaporizing it away in the same manner that the titans did. Erwin looked in pure awe as Wall Maria was quickly, but harmlessly, eradicated by the shockwave created.
________________________________________________________________________________________

In Trost, Captain Felman looked from the southern edge of Wall Rose alongside Ian, Riko, and Mitabi. They could see the shockwave pass over the hills and straight towards them.

“What on Ear–” Felman wondered before the shockwave hit the wall.

Glowing bright in a second, the wall disappeared in a burst of sparks, leaving the three Garrison soldiers and captain in a freefall. With no time to wonder what happened, Felman and the three soldiers hooked into the boulder that had blocked the entrance into Trost and swung down to the ground from it.

Before Felman could look into the horizon to find the origin of the shockwave, the sound of the cannons that once lined the top the walls fell down to the ground with deafening clunks. Felman, Riko, Ian, and Mitabi turned to observe the sight, only for what laid before them to frighten them even more.

The wall protecting Trost had completely disappeared, and they could see as Wall Rose slowly disappeared down each side as the shockwave continued its journey. What amazed the four of them the most was that the town of Trost itself was completely unharmed by the shockwave.
________________________________________________________________________________________

The people inside the now crowded city of the Hermiha district in Sina continued to sit patiently along the walls of the building, hoping that news would come about their ability to return home. At that very moment, the shockwave passed through the walls. Upon making contact, the wall disappeared as it did for Maria and Rose. The people looked behind them as the rest of Wall Sina vanished before their eyes. They then looked back to see that their defense had gone away.

Murmurs of confusion soon became screams of terror as the people pushed and shoved each other to escape towards the north. The Military Police were also frightened by the disappearance of the wall, looking down at the scared people as well. Seeing as they began to run for their lives to the north, they raised their rifles into the sky and each fired off a round, filling the sky with loud bangs.

The people screamed at the shrill sound, ducking and covering their ears. A multitude of Military Police soldiers ran to the north side of the city, their rifles in hand. The crowd watched nervously as the Military Police lined the northern edge of the city where the wall once stood, standing by with their weapons.

“Attention, citizens,” called a Military Police captain, trying to sound as relaxed and authoritative as possible, unable to stop the occasional stammer, “calm down. We do not know how Wall Sina has disappeared, but we’re going to stay here in a calm fashion until further notice. If not, we will be forced to shoot any and all rebels. Do you understand?”

The crowd looked at the Military Police with anger, but they did not move a muscle, staying obediently and heeding the captain’s words.
________________________________________________________________________________________

The humans and ponies north of Shiganshina looked up at Eren and his friends, as well as another incredible sight before them. A large tower of crystal had formed over the town of Shiganshina, taking the form of the mushroom cloud that came from the Elements of Harmonies’ spell. The crystal was colored like a rainbow throughout the structure, glowing in the morning sun.

Eren and his friends looked down at the people down below, surprised not only to see no titans, but to see the walls gone as well.

“Whoa!” Conny exclaimed. “Where did the walls go?”

“The walls were made from titans,” Armin said. “Like the titans that were wiped out from the spell, so was the wall that they created.”

“But what about the other titans south of here? Won’t they now get in?”

“I don’t think that will be the case.”

Armin then began to float himself down north of Shiganshina where the other soldiers were, followed by Eren, Mikasa, Jean, Conny, and Sasha. They could hear the murmurs and gasps of the others down below, in awe of their new forms. As each of the six friends landed on the ground, they each placed their swords back in their sheaths.

At that moment, Eren, Mikasa, Armin, Jean, Conny, and Sasha’s armor and capes began to glow bright. As they looked upon their armor, wondering what was happening, the armor dissolved off of their bodies in sparkles that blew away with the wind. Once the armor faded, Eren and his friends found themselves in their normal Scouting Legion attire minus their cloaks. However, their new swords and sheaths remained on their bodies.

“Eren!” shouted Rainbow Dash.

“Guys!” Twilight called.

Eren and his friends turned to see Levi, Spike, Luna, and the ponies running towards them. Rainbow Dash flew up to Eren and gave him a big hug.

“You guys were awesome!” she squealed.

Fluttershy, squealing in pure-happiness, leapt onto Jean and squeezed his body tight.

“Thank Celestia you’re alright!” she sighed, snuggling her face into Jean’s chest.

“I guess you can say that…” Jean replied sheepishly.

“What happened?” Twilight asked, her face full of confusion. “What happened to the walls and my antidote?”

“When we were saved by your Elements of Harmony,” Armin explained, “we met Princess Celestia. She had told us that we were Earth’s Elements of Harmony. I suppose ours comes in the form of armor and swords.”

“But what about the titans. How did you–”

“I combined our magic much like you did with Luna and Shining Armor when you teleported us off the wall yesterday and combined it with your antidote, so not only did we stop Hunter, but we, as far as I know, eradicated the titans.”

“Is that what that shockwave was?”

“Where is that bastard anyway?” Eren shouted.

“Look!” Hanji shouted as she pointed at the crystal structure. “Over there.”

The soldiers turned their heads to see Hunter, his body frozen inside the crystal, imprisoned forever inside.

“After all that,” Jean commented, “we still couldn’t kill him.”

“I think it’s for the best,” Armin said. “Better imprison him forever than kill him and let him win.”

Annie looked at the tower and down it, seeing how it spread over the town near the city’s edge. Looking at the northern foot of the city, she saw the body of a robed man lying dead in the street empty street. Annie, recognizing it as her father, gasped and sprinted towards the body. Twilight and Armin, taking notice, ran out to follow her.

“Annie!” cried Armin.

Annie slid on her knees towards her father. Picking him up and cradling him in her arms, she could tell by the blood that covered his face from his head that he did not make it. Hugging him close, Annie loudly wept into her father’s shoulder.

Armin and Twilight slowly approached her, unsure of how to console her. However, it was Armin who stepped forwards and knelt down to Annie, putting his hand on her shoulder. Annie lowered her father back to the ground, her crying becoming quieter until it stopped.

“Annie,” cooed Armin, “I’m so sorry about–”

Annie suddenly threw herself onto Armin, draping her arms over his shoulders and cried into his chest. Armin’s face began blushing, finding the tender moment unusual. Twilight then came to the two of them as she sat down and wrapped her arms around Annie’s waist, stroking her side with her head. Sasha and Conny smiled at the tender moment while the others looked upon them with similar intrigue as Armin.

A belch was then heard near the ponies, and the ponies jumped back as Spike burped green flames from his mouth. The humans watched as the flames swirled around and formed into a scroll.

“It’s from the Princess!” called Spike.

At once, Armin, Twilight, and Annie stood themselves up, the latter wiping her eyes as she listened in to hear what the letter had to say. Spike took the seal off the scroll and unraveled it, looking upon the text within, clearing his throat.

“Dearest Men, Women, Ponies, and Dragon of the Military,

“You were all splendid; I watched the whole battle. For those who didn’t understand what had happened at the end there, Eren and his other five friends now embody a powerful kind of magic called the Elements of Harmony, much like Twilight and her friends in Equestria.

“It seems that they not only defeated and sealed Hunter away, but they used the antidote the Hanji and Twilight had created and combined it with their magic, destroying both the titans and the walls. From my vantage, I saw the shockwave that was created and it looks to have traveled the entirety of the planet, which I assume would mean that it killed every titan it came across.”

There was much gasping amongst the soldiers, having been stunned by the astounding news.

“I suppose that’s great news for you all. I merely wished to let you know of the situation more fully, and to congratulate you on your victory. I hope to hear from the Scouting Legion upon their return to headquarters. Congratulations to you all on your success.

Sincerely,
Princess Celestia.”

Spike let the letter drop to his side. He, as well as the others, were silent as they tried to comprehend what they had just heard.

“So…” spoke Kirill.

“That means…” Conny said.

“We…” Spike responded, “won. It’s over.”

Another few seconds of silence.

“YEAH!” screamed Spike. “We did it! We won!”

Spike’s jubilation caused a massive spread of cheering and celebrating by the soldiers, jumping up and down, hugging their friends, or breaking down and crying, humanity’s one-hundred-and-fifty year long nightmare finally over at last.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack embraced each other as Rainbow Dash spun her friend around in the air. Jean and Fluttershy shared another tight embrace, overjoyed that it had ended. Conny and Sasha were pommeled by Pinkie Pie and Conny, respectively, each of them hugging their friends happily. Hanji and Kirill looked at each other longingly. They each then threw their arms around each other and hugged, happy to finally be guaranteed a tomorrow.

Armin and Twilight both hugged Annie as they each lifted her up in her arms, unnerving her greatly. Shining Armor galloped to the three of them and wrapped his arms around each of them, lifting them up and squeezing them tight, a bright smile on his face.

“Pfft,” Levi scoffed. “They’re just like children.”

“Let them have their moment,” Erwin said with a smile. “It’s probably been a long time since either of them felt such joy.”

“Levi!” cried Spike as he hopped onto him and clung to his abdomen with his arms and legs. “We did it, man! Isn’t that great!”

Levi grimaced at his personal space being invaded. He then looked at Erwin smiling upon the small dragon with a fond smile. Levi then forced a smile and chuckle out as he pet Spike’s back, making him feel even happier. Near them, Hannes excitedly grabbed Nile in a giant bear hug, running about with him while laughing like a maniac. Nile's shouts bounced up and down with each step Hannes took.

Eren was hugging Rainbow Dash while Mikasa approached Eren. As Rainbow Dash let go to see her other friends, Mikasa grabbed Eren by the shoulders and turned him around, making him face her. Her face was flushed red and her smile was larger than Eren ever remembered seeing.

“Mikasa,” Eren gasped, “what are yo–”

Eren’s words were sealed as Mikasa’s lips pressed themselves onto Eren’s. Tears streamed down her face as her arms slung over his shoulders. Eren, shocked and surprised, wrenched his face away from Mikasa as he finally pushed her away from her. Mikasa looked confused and slightly hurt.

“Oy, Mikasa!” shouted Eren. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Eren!” she exclaimed. “I never got to tell you back then, but I should have. I love you!”

Mikasa made another attempt at a kiss, only for Eren to back away.

“What is your problem, Mikasa?” he asked. “We’re family!”

“Oh, I see,” Mikasa responded, the iciness of her voice creeping out. “There’s someone else, isn’t there?”

“What?” Eren exclaimed, shocked by the outburst.

Eren turned behind him where Mikasa’s eyes were aimed, seeing Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Spike looking at his confrontation with intrigue.

“You don’t mean Rainbow Dash, do you?” asked Eren as he looked back to Mikasa.

Rainbow Dash’s eyes went wide as she pursed her lips, surprised by his statement.

“Don’t be stupid!” Mikasa stated. “I know that you’d know better than to be in love with a pony.”

Mikasa turned her body, her scarf gently slapping Eren in the face. As Mikasa walked off with a huff, Eren heard the sound of flapping wings behind him. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw as Rainbow Dash hovered right next to him, giving him a smug, toothy grin and raised her eyebrows suggestively, freaking Eren out.

“Hey, hey!” he said, waving his hand at Rainbow Dash as if she were a stubborn fly. “I didn’t mean that! I was just trying to understand Mikasa!”

“Uh-huh,” Rainbow Dash answered sarcastically, playfully bumping his stomach with the back of her hoof, “sure you were.”

Eren jerked his body away and gazed down with a loud huff, blushing at his foolish choice of words. Rainbow Dash couldn’t help but giggle, but stopped soon after, looking back at Eren with a happy, loving glance.
