It had been a rather tiring day of inspection and evaluation in Canterlot. With the ever needed expansion of the guards and building of their military force on top of the threats and balancing his time as a family man Naruto was finding it more difficult to find spare moments to just kick back and unwind.

At the very least he was finally home and he could unwind with his lovely wife. As he passed through the doors he was assaulted by noise and various voices.

"SURPRISE!"

The sudden echoing blast of noise, accompanied by a field grade confetti cannon resulted in him shifting backwards, his right arm thrown back into a stance and his left hand free to attack out of instinct. It was a response honed after so many years of training and fighting and was reflexively involuntarily unless he mentally commanded his movements actively.

Seconds later a warm smile formed on his face as his lips gently stretched up upwards as he took in the sight before him.

"HAPPY ANNIVERSARY..." The chorus of cheerful voices each accompanied by a sweet and smiling face he all knew too well.

The gorgeous mare that was his wife Rarity holding a bottle of expensive champagne.

Next to her was the diarch of the moon Luna in a more informal yet lovely still dark colored dress.

Above them holding the banner of 'Happy Anniversary' were the duo of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

Front in center with the canon that had sprouted out all the confetti was Pinkie.

Behind her were Twilight and Trixie who were currently cutting on the light crystals with their magic to illuminate the place.

Finally Applejack and Ditzy who sere setting down what looked like a massive cake.

For a good minute or two the blond flickered through his memory as he tried to remember what anniversary they could possibly be speaking of until he realized today was the anniversary of the day he arrived in Equestria. Neighest 21st. (August) He was at a loss of words.

He soon found himself seated at the head of the table as everypony gathered. They began bringing in a variety of prepared dishes or drinks that one had a hand in. The only outside interference being the few ponies Celestia assigned to them to test ingredients sold to them for poison or to scan gifts and other such things sent to them to avoid anything foul by disgruntled anarchists, scheming nobles or politically motivated bureaucrats.

Each of them was enjoying the expensive wine that Rarity was sent by a Prench fan, a collector of rare of expensive wines as they shared stories and began re-connection with each other over the course of the events that played out the last month.

While the initial idea for the party was to be much bigger and included far more ponies, the herd decided to break it into two celebrations. A smaller and more intimate setting with just them and the more general party the day after with everypony.

There was a sharp, crystalline ringing as Rarity tapped her spoon against her wine glass. "Evening everypony, I like to think every mare here who played her part in this fantastic anniversary party. As such I would also like to make a toast."

Everypony who was in the midst of eating or drinking ceased as their attention was drawn to the lead mare.

"These past few years have definitely been a roller-coaster of excitement and turmoil. Intrigue and passion. Violence and adventure. But through it all, we, from many different walks of life have come together to form a unique and wonderful little family." The other mares around the table quickly nodded in agreement.

"Which of course made our herd twenty-percent cooler than any other herd in Equestria." Rainbow threw in. "I'd be the first to admit, I never thought I see myself here now. Romance and all that ya' know. Not saying I'm all sapppy and stuff now, still got to rock my cred and complete my dreams, but I guess all the rubbin off you all did on me helped me become a bit cooler than I would have otherwise."

Most of the heard rolled their eyes at the way Rainbow put the phrase. Some times would never change.

"We have gone through many things together and become stronger for it. Without all of you I don't think I'd ever gotten braver." Fluttershy added thinking of all the courage she had gain over the years.

"Ain't that about right. Learnin' not to be so hard-headed has done wonders and I'm proud to call all of ya family." Having grown along side all these different ponies had thought the stubborn farm mare patience and temperance.

"Trixie...I definitely would not be here now if not for all of you. I'd still be eking out a meager existence instead of living up to my full potential. Thank you, all of you." Trixie added.

"Being in a family with my bestest gal pals and the stallion I love is a dream come true. Its almost as good as bringing joy to others. You all saw me as something more than just some immature idiot and helped me be so much more. I can't really express what that means you know." Pinkie added.

"Funny thing is, I feel so odd. I mean all of you are all so amazing. Heroes. With these gifts and powers and I feel so out of place. The fact you all treat me as an equal instead of a burden and accepted me into your family. It makes me feel so blessed you know." A feel tears dropped from Ditzy eyes as she was hugged and comforted by Pinkie and Fluttershy.

Then Twilight began to speak. "I'd learned so much from you all. I would have been a shut in that only valued knowledge if not for all of you. I owe you all so much. Ditzy and Trixie, even if you weren't part of our initial circle does not make you lesser. From your examples I learned perseverance and a willingness to try again just how I learned from Princess Luna that one is never truly unforgivable if they are willing to change. And then of course there was the lesson I learned that night ago all those years. From Pinkie I learned the importance of Happiness. From Rarity Generosity. From Applejack Honesty. From Rainbow Loyalty. From Fluttershy Kindness. And not too long after Empathy from Naruto. I discovered true friendship and as a result I will carry that spark within my heart forever."

Last but not least among the assembled mares was Luna. "Bearers and herd sisters. My time among you has brought me much joy. You welcome me with both open hearts and arms where many cast an eye upon me with suspicion and caution. Your practice of the tenants warms my soul and heart and being a member of this family is one of the greatest honors of my life."

Finally it came back to Rarity. "This day signified the day our lives change. The day this beloved stallion entered our lives and set forth the wheels of destiny. It was the day I changed and was erred from the path of greed, chasing fleeting dreams and ideals to become the mare I am today. So with that I pray for many long years of happiness and harmony to our family!"

Everypony raised their glasses high and took a large sip of the cider.

Naruto took a few moments to consider his words and then finally spoke up. "All of you, thank you for your wonderful words. And you are all right, we are a family so this is as much as about all of you as it is about me. So expect each of you to get your own notice for a private one on one surprise date and we'll leave it at that for now." Taking in the sip of his wine knowing he was being met with looks of excitement along with anticipation and annoyance at the fact there was no telling how long he was going to make them wait before he surprised them for their one on one and with what.

All and all the night carried on with much joy and bonding.

---

It was the following evening after the herd anniversary party. The regal alicorn of the night stepped through the doorframe and into her elder sister's room. Like the sun itself the room glowed brightly with glowing windows from the sun's rays and cascading windows.

"Over here sister..." the voice beckoned from the balcony.

"Tia..." Celestia had been rather quiet and kept to herself the past few days ever since their return from the Crystal Empire. Luna wondered if it had something to deal with the ever impending threat of the dark future that the alternate Naruto warned them about, but if that was the case then surely Celestia would share her concerns with her? This was a threat that encompassed them all and the burden was too much even for her sister to bear alone. "Is everything alright, Sister?"

"I feel that it is time Luna. That Twilight Sparkle is ready for the trials." The implication of that statement hit Luna with all the force of a tsunami.

"W-what? This soon?" Luna wondered if her sister was putting expectations on her student that were higher than she could handle at this time in response to such a grave threat.

"In order to stave off the dark future we are set for we must. Now is not the time to wait and see how things play out. We have a chance to make sure history does not repeat itself." Here, both of the royal sisters indulged in a bitter smile, but it was the elder that put voice to the reason. "We can help make sure Twilight and the other bearers do not befall the same fate as Starswirl and the pillars. "

"The results to which I assume we shall see soon." Luna had initially wondered why Celestia had insisting on sending Naruto, Fluttershy, and Applejack to Deemeter's kingdom, but the results of their growth was far more apparent than what they could have done. Deemeter's connection to nature and the earth was so powerful that she could easily recognize and draw out that aspect of an earth pony's magic. "When do we begin?"

"There is no better time then now." Celestia suggested as it was time to begin the birth of a new era.

It had all started out with a spark.

"You fool I have long known the identity of these bearers; you still fight a fruitless battle without the Sixth Element. Your attempt at a spark did not work!" Nightmare Moon cried out in frustration, hunting for her only solution to her own dreaded nightmare.

Confident Twilight Sparkle continued. "But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized when I was about to lose them. The moment I realized I cared about my friends. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that the ponies I met and that traveled with me here this night are my friends. Hence how I discovered the secret that recreates the sixth element, ignited by the spark that resides in all of us…the element of... magic!" At long last, the lost sixth element manifested itself as a gold tiara with a set of oval-shaped sapphires and a magenta star-shaped gem, similar to Twilight's cutie mark. It rested upon her head and with that, the Elements activated.

The power of the six combined into a rainbow of sorts. The power coursed through the air and began making its way towards the Alicorn.

0000

One with the mark of magic beginning her journey.

The mare who gave off the faint glow of light was staring intently at the bookshelves. She was young, around twenty, and just by looking at the pale complexion of her fur it was obvious that she didn't get outside very much.

Her moderate violet eyes continued to examine the endless volumes before her. Her mane was that of a very adorkable sapphire blue manecut with straight bangs, with two streaks of purple and rose running through it. A horn protruded from the mane. Her outfit consisted of a white button up uniform shirt with a lavender sweater vest over it. The formal outfit fit nicely over her bust. Completing the outfit was a violet plaid uniform skirt that reached below her knees. The outfit served the purpose of simple student wear instead of highlighting the loveliness of her features.

0000

And Through them she learned the Tenants of Harmony

00000

"Name's Applejack the most honest and dependable pony in Ponyville."

"Why hello darling, I am Rarity charmed to meet you."

"Y'see I've never seen you before and if I've never seen you before that means you're new, 'cause I know everypony, and I mean everypony in Ponyville!" Pinkie Pie rambled

"O-Oh hello...my name...(mumble)...Fluttershy."

"I'm the fastest Flyer in Equestria, Rainbow Dash's the name. "

"Our bonds are what allow us to understand each other. Aah forgive me, forgot to introduce myself, name's Naruto."

00000000

Together they fought the most dangerous of enemies. Nightmare Moon

00000000

"Fool! YOU DARE TO CHALLENGE ME!?" Nightmare Moon roared as she fired a blast of her own only for Twilight to quickly counter and toss up her hands to project a barrier to protect against the powerful blast. It held long enough for the Unicorn to dodge and to fire another blast that the Alicorn narrowly dodged.

Discord

00

"Discord..." whispered Celestia fearfully, then in a louder voice commanded, "Show yourself!"

Their eyes darted around the room, looking for any sign of him as his fiendish chuckles echoed once more. Movement caught Naruto's eyes as he sought out one of the windows that depicted Discord playing with ponies like puppets. All of a sudden, the Discord started to move.

"Did you miss me, Celestia? Luna? Because I missed the two of you." Smiling sinisterly, he hovered over to the window next to it, resting on Fluttershy's head. "It's quite lonely being encased in stone, but you wouldn't know that, would you, because I don't turn ponies into stone." He rapped Fluttershy with his fist to make this point.

000

A Fallen Element

000

"In the past the power you bearers wielded to defeat me is indeed formidable, without the use of Generosity the elements are now powerless to stop me."

"Rarity! Can you hear me? You have to fight it. Don't let it control you." Twilight urged the Nightmare mare.

"You are a rather dense one. Rarity is no more. I am Radiance. A new being born from the fusion of Rarity and the Nightmare."

"Yer wrong! Even after a thousand years Luna was till in there so Rarity has to be." Applejack refused to believe that Rarity was gone.

"After everything we been through there's no way we'll believe our friend is gone." Pinkie Pie agreed.

Radiance remained unimpressed or even moved by their words.

"I know you're in there. We won't let that monster have you. We'll save you know matter what."

For a moment Radiance's expression had faltered. 'N-Naruto.' Her eyes began to lose shape, but she fought it off. "ENOUGH!" With a wave of magic she blasted them back before turning her attention to Luna. "Luna Luna Luna, to think you gave up the power to rule over all for weaklings."

"You're wrong!" Luna told her.

"Am I? And without the elements what can you do? What can any of you do? Your chances of survival have been dashed."

00

The Elements of Chaos

00

The Condemned revealed themselves.

Demented and Elusive Killer Vanity.

The Strong and Brutal Rockhead.

The Sociopathic Tricky.

The Selfish Adrenaline Rush.

Angry and violent Hot Streak recently freed from her imprisonment.

And the ever dangerous Perfect Storm.

"Twilight. We got this. You and Princess Cadance get to the Elements."

"You're not really asking us to leave you to fight them!" Cadance exclaimed in disbelief.

"They'll be alright." Twilight assured her. "I trust them. They're strong. They won't lose!"

Cadance placed her faith in Twilight and her friends. The Condemned moved from the entrance to their surprise.

A bright glowing blue orb formed in Midnight's hand. "Time for the Sun to set for the last time!"

Swinging her arm forward, the ball of magic rushed forward through the air at the alicorn. As it approached, Celestia didn't move, but casually smacked the incoming attack to the side with her wing.

"This is your last chance Midnight stop this foolishness at once. This is your last chance."

Midnight sneered at the threat she heard. "I assure you this battle is far from over." Conjuring two more balls of magic, she threw them both at Celestia, who in turn opened up both wings on her right side to counter both attacks simultaneously. "Don't just stand there, help me." Midnight hissed at Morpha.

00

The Nightmare

00

"You truly are a fool. I was going to make your death quick, but now I'll truly make you suffer. This battle was over the moment the Elements shattered yet you continue to prolong the inevitable."

At that moment Twilight had an epiphany. The answer had been staring her in the face the whole time and she hadn't seen it until now. She…she would not give up. "It's not over. You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you're wrong; because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right here in these ponies." The shards of the five elements began to glow with new life and surround the five ponies. The five looked at the phenomenon in Awe.

Fallen Hero

00

Please Twilight. Do this for me. I need to know that if anything happens. If I ever stop being...me. Then I count count on someone...somepony to stop me.'

The idea itself was ludicrous, but the serious expression in his eyes told her otherwise. 'I...I promise you. If that ever happens...I won't let you die as anypony but yourself.

'Empathy!' Naruto called upon his element's power and became cloaked in its powers. 'I understand the notion. Of wanting to protect your loved ones. The fear of losing them. But by your own selfish whims all you care about is your own loss. Its broken you and you don't know what to do anymore. And because of that you wish to control everything. I won't let you travel blindly anymore. I'll put an end to this.' With rapid speed Naruto shot forward and slammed his into the torso of the Saisei. The Saisei fired back with red beams of energy scorching the front portion of Naruto's armor and sending him flying back.

The tiniest of cracks appeared on the armor. Before he could react he was hit with by Applejack's hammer causing him to be shot forwards. Twisting his head he tried firing another crimson blast resulting in a shield popping up and deflecting back at him.

Letting out a roar of pain the liquid coating of the Saisei's body shimmered and began to sprout tendrils. The tendrils began electricfying and lashing out at the group. Twisting and shooting over and away from the lashes the group continue their attack.

00

Sombra

00

Spike began flying to the castle as Sombra was in hot pursuit. He dodged the hailfire of crystal as he drew closer, the other bearers were in sight.

"SPIKE! LOOK OUT!" Twilight Screamed.

Spike whipped his head up. Sombra's shadow had scaled up the wall and was soaring down at him ready to strike.

"Twilight quick! We need to cover Spike!" Cadance shouted to her to which Twilight instantly readied herself. She, Shining Armor, and with what little magic she had left Cadance summoned up their magic power and fired a beam at the shadow of Sombra.

So single minded focus on the pursuit of the Crystal Heart Sombra did not put up a defense as his physical form was once more disrupted by the powerful combined magical attack.

Spike landed at the altar and with that placed the crystal heart in its rightful place. "Long Live the King!"

The magic of the crystal heart erupted as it began to swirl in a vortex. Its mighty magical energy then sought out one who was worthy. It sought out a rightful ruler. The waves of energy washed over Cadance and revitalize her.

0000

"To understand, being aware of, or sensitive to the feelings or thoughts of others. To experience those feelings of the past or present without having to communicate with that individual. To understand their pain and relate to them.

It is how we can be Honest with each other.

Its what allows us to be Generous to those in need.

To freely share Laughter and give Joy to others.

To encourage us to give our Loyalty to others.

To open our hearts and allow us to experience Kindness.

To form Friendships. Without the ability to understand and connect to each other on a deeper level how can one have Harmony?"

Naruto's eyes trained on Discord. "It's over Discord. I am Naruto Uzumaki…the element of Empathy!" The Seventh Element shined brightly with the others.

000000000

Through their trials and journeys they grew together as their tenants expanded.

00000000

"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!"

"Fluttershy, who tamed the Manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness!"

"Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!"

"Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity!"

"And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty!"

000

And now at long last Twilight Sparkles final test is fast approaching.

000

"Ready? Ready for what?" Twilight questioned as she followed Princess Celestia.

Princess Celestia then began walking through an invisible hallway…a hallway full of Twilight's memories together. "You have come such a long, long way...and I've watched you from that very first day."

Ascension Arc Begins 9/12/2020

?

A slow, faint heartbeat with a black backdrop, with the words in white fading into view and zooming in. 'Coming next Spring...'

"Don't think you're merely dealing with another ordinary villain." The armored figure said as he stood before Iron Hoof, Arctic Night, and other members of the Lunar Guard.

"Who the hell are you?" Aegis demanded as he tried to stand up on his damaged leg,but collasped.

'One of their own will stand against them.'

In the cold and snowy mountains a crystal pony is rolling up a scroll.

"Your Death."

"Nothing I love more than blasting apart enemies with ki blasts."

To battle an enemy they never expected.

Cue the shots of the battles between Naruto and the knight. "This isn't even your universe or reality. You're not even real. I loved her for years you don't deserve Rarity." The knight screamed as his blade clashed with Naruto's kunai.

Next shot is Rarity crying out to Naruto as she disappeared into a beam of light.

Grotesque skeleton creatures are seen charging the Equestrian army.

A half dead Naruto is standing amongst fire in a ruined castle. "I'm practically a God. What can you do to stop me?"

"You're not the first opponent I fought who called themselves a god." Naruto spat out some blood from his mouth. "I doubt you'll be the last."
