Here it is, the epilogue to Friendship Games Remake, chapter 13. A good one & with some little surprises in it, so kick back to enjoy...

 

Chapter 13: New Start, New School Life

 

The scene finally begins to open around where the dark cloudy skies were finally all gone & it was looking to be a new sunny day ahead. We see Lyria Heartstrings, Bon Bon, Micro Chips walking along the school entrance, far to the left we see Lemon Zest chatting it up with DJ Pon-3, Upper Crust & Sour Sweet were chatting with Cadance, but an interesting thing to see was…students that were a part of the Wondercolts & Shadowbolts 12 team members each had their own gold medal. Apparently the announcement of Celestia declaring them all winners of the Friendship Games was a meant & kept word. But as everyone was seemingly going about in where students from CHS & Crystal Prep seem to be getting along better, we spot Twilight on the steps outside the school’s entrance, wearing her hair in a normal tied motion than hang loose & wearing her glasses with Spike on her lap. Twilight & Spike looked to another with smiles, feeling like after everything they experienced, it felt good that the games, & that close war ended peacefully to avoid any catastrophes enough that the girl gave her dog a nice head rub.

“Well Twilight, I guess that was one possibly way to finish up your time at Crystal Prep.” Cadance’s voice was heard that caught the two off guard as the woman approached those on the steps which a smiling Spike & a sheepish, but happy Twilight sorta followed that comment. “And I’m pretty sure Cinch will be fast-tracking your application at Everton after all of that. With the games being a tie & from following Strikespell’s orders to…lead you finally choose what you want to do.” Cadance shrug off her left hand before sitting near Twilight & Spike to state that after everything, Pricnipal Cinch has denied Twilight’s approval to attend the Indecent Study Program in Everton from what happened on this very day.

“Well Dean Cadance, I’ve been thinking about it and, well…” Twilight kept her smile on while having come to a sudden decision about her thought of going to Everton. “I’m not so sure that now is the time for me to apply to Everton just yet.” She shook her head with a smile as both Spike & Cadance listen in with smiles in hearing what Twilight’s stating; she’s decided about wanting to go to Everton.

“Really? What came about this change?” Cadance asked off in being halfway surprised in hearing that the girl that wanted to go to Everton has decided not to go after competing Crystal Prep of all its school challenges & work.

“I may know about a lot of things, science, astronomy, math equations, but friendship isn't really one of them.” Twilight nodded her head in stating these facts about knowing lots of stuff, but the factor about ‘friendship’ in where those can build it was…something she hasn’t much master in. “And I'm most definitely not gonna learn more about friendship by being alone all the time.” Twilight stated off to roll her eyes in stating that for her to really know about friendship, one has to not be alone all the time; they need to be with others to deep it.

“So, are you saying that, you're staying at Crystal Prep then? It seems like changes will make it much better than before.” Cadence smiled off to ask if Twilight was gonna continue to be at Crystal Prep to understand friendship, especially since what everyone experienced today taught them something about helping each other.

“Well actually, I know that everyone looks like they’ll be better off in not just caring about themselves. But, it seems the students here at CHS know an awful lot more about the subject then those at Crystal Prep do.” Twilight spoke off in looking around CHS, seeing their students show more about friendship; like how Paisley called over Starlight to join her & Sweet Leaf, they hug & were gossiping happily like good gal pals. “So in terms about that, I don't suppose…” Twilight was slowly bringing up the big question in which she is hoping Cadance will say yes to

“That you could transfer to this school instead of staying at Crystal Prep.” Cadance waved off a left hand in understanding what Twilight was thinking, to study more about friendship, she needs to be close to it; namely….being on CHS all the time.

“Really? You mean it?” Twilight showed happy little big eyes in feeling like just hearing that would be the world for her.

“You'd certainly be missed at Crystal Prep. Being Azure’s top prize student & now having made the students wanna open up more to where they wanna thank you the most for it.” Cadance leans to tell Twilight this as she blushes a bit from hearing how the girl will be missed while thinking about other things, but… “But, your decision to transfer here, well…I think that's a great idea!” Cadance happily hugs Twilight’s shoulders in saying that Twilight transferring to CHS would be a wondrous thing to do.

“So…Azure Phoenix & Strikespell will…” Twilight asked off in wondering if those that wanted her to be kept for the Imperial Phoenix Army & such are okay with this.

“Didn’t you hear me, they said you’re free to choose what you want to do, you’re no longer their property…you’re you. And if being here with those that are your close friends, even family, makes you happy, then that’s all we want now.” Cadance issued this off that Twilight is no longer a cage bird, now she’s free to spread her wings & do what makes her happy. “So of course, I’ll be sure to speak to Principal Celestia about it right away. And get Strikespell & Azure Phoenix to also approve.” As Cadance said this as she sat up, Twilight & even Spike showed extra smiling faces, this meant that….they can join CHS & be with all of their friends again like the old times.

Twilight was so excited, she & Cadance hugged each other from where the girl was so excited. But then suddenly, a strange dark spec of particles seem to almost be visible around Twilight’s hands, as she noticed them to yelp out of her hug with Cadance; but then they distrust, & her hands were fine; weird.

“That was strange.” Twilight raised an eyebrow in what she felt was strange, what was that about?

“Something up Twilight?” Cadance asked the girl in seeing something distract her friend.

“I don’t know, but an intensified manifestation of all of the darkest impulses with the power to act on said impulses…” Twilight shook her head off in speculating what it was that seem to have happened to her; which left Spike & Candace completely lost of what the girl was saying. “To be honest, I think I just felt myself overcome with an equal measure of guilt & fear.” She stated off in simply stating what she may have felt shut now.

“Well it must be because I’m still needed at Crystal Prep, but don’t let that bother you…I’ll visit you…” Cadance stated to say this with a smile to lift Twilight’s chin up to tell the girl this much to cheer up, they’ll see each other again.

“With Shining Armor in arm?” Twilight raised an eyebrow in asking this with a sly tone in knowing what Cadance would do when she visits.

“Oh, you…” Cadence let off a little chuckle to Twilight, as it seem Twilight was gonna be fine here.

Nearby as Cadance & Twilight had like a ‘sisterly’ moment today, the nearby G.I. Joe members were just packing up their things in about ready to go…when they noticed the heart-warming scene.

“Well that certainly is a sweet scene before heading home.” Lady Jaye exclaimed in seeing how that was nice to see, looks like Twilight Sparkle is gonna be alright from now on.

Flint comment, “I can’t believe it! Two teams of this world’s greatest heroes and we get taken apart like cheap children’s toys! It’s only thanks to Sunset and her friends that everybody made it out unharmed.”

“I can't believe a teenage girl came THAT close to bringing the world to an end & she's basically being let off with an apology." Tunnel Rat exclaimed this off to his Joe pals in pointing this out.

"Well you gotta admit, considering she was NOT exactly entirely in her right mind at the time, it DOES earn her SLIGHTLY more sympathy.” Ripcord pointed this off that the whole thing was a teen doing things while not IN control of herself.

“Not to mention the fact that the influence of her friends seems to do a better job keeping her in check than brute force does. And, considering her wicked super-form was powerful enough to almost effortlessly make minch-meat out of us G.I. Joe, Dragon Strike Force, the Autobots, well, I don't think I need to explain any further!” Roadblock exclaimed off to shrug his shoulders in stating such facts about the girl in what effort it took to take down something that tough when they couldn’t.

“Alright Joes, let’s let her be, after all…everybody learns from mistakes. Some more do than others.” Duke patted his friends’ backs in stating this matter of opinion.

“Time to go Joes, Cobra’s not gonna be on holiday forever after this…they’ll be back.” Flint issued off in stating this that they need to pack it in & get going now.

The members of G.I. Joe nod in agreement as they began to leave. Snake Eyes looked back behind a spot where Storm Shadow lay hidden, before he too vanished fro might like all ninja style. Snake Eyes decided to follow his team for the time being as he will tell them about Storm Shadow…that is, by tell, we mean that in…the silent treatment…

 

--------------------

 

Within Celestia’s office, we see her, Luna, Iris, Strikespell & Azure Phoenix having what looked to be about five or so minutes of a discussion. Recently, Celestia received a text from her niece Cadance about Twilight wanting to transfer & it became the topic here. Just Cadance & Twilight were just outside the Principal’s Office when having to meet Shining Armor who waited outside in what was grown up talk, they heard the conversation between the adults, with one comment catching their attention.

“After everything that has happened, to believe the text you got from Cadance said about this transfer….hugh, I would have said no about it right away. But…” Strikespell rolled his eyes to rhetorically state of what he would have done about such a thing, but…

At that moment, Cadance opened the door to which she & Twilight were coming in followed but a puzzled Shining Armor but the Dean seem to look upset from having heard something that did not sound very good about a decision for Twilight.

“Mr. Secretary. We need to talk?” Cadance asked off in liking to have a word with Strikespell.

“Save your breath, Dean Cadance. The decision has been made from what your text ask of Celestia.” Strikespell waved off a hand in saying there was nothing to say as a decision has already been made.

“Look, mister. I don't care about your order in keeping Twilight as Imperial Phoenix Army property! She deserves to transfer to another school, especially the school she likes & can finally have friends which this school helped her have for once. They risked everything to save her. So, I want her to go here! If you want to fire me for going against you, be my guess! I will work here! If that’s okay for you.” Cadance was really letting it go here in which even Twilight never saw her get this ‘upset’ & ‘tensive’ after everything that happened.”

“Hugh, if you let me finish, I was going to say that Twilight is free to choose whatever she wants. If she wants to go back to this school known as CHS, that is fine.” Strikespell groans to sigh in calmly stating the facts that the woman was jumping to the wrong conclusion of what is happening.

“Well she should, she….wait? Really?” Cancan suddenly yelped upon hearing this, did Strikespell say what she thinks was correct?

“You mean she's free to go anywhere she wants.” Shining Armor asked off in having heard this right as well.

“That is correct. After what has happen before, we wouldn't want her to suffer such things as being lonely. She deserves something better than this whole thing of keeping her contain. She deserves to be with her friends as they all are her true best friends.” Azure Phoenix issued forth in having stated this claim about Twilight receiving more things then being kept from doing what makes her happy.

“Agreed. After all, my sister will be in-charge of keeping an eye on her from now on. Wouldn’t you agree, Iris?” Strikespell nods from what his father said before turning to his sister.

“Leave it to me, da ge. This will be piece of cake.” Iris nods to her older brother in stating such means.

“I don't know what to say…” Twilight sniffed a bit happily, this almost brings a tear to her eye.

“A thank you, we wouldn't mind.” Azure Phoenix nods his head in stating this of what they can get, is but a simple thank you.

Twilight then came & hugged Azure Phoenix, instead of shaking his hand. He smiled a bit as he hugged her back in response.

“I will miss you, Sparkle…” Azure Phoenix stated in going to miss this girl when she transfers to CHS.

“So do I. Thank you for letting me go,” Twilight replied back in being thankful for this.

“Take care. Remember…don't worry about others of your decision. You make your own decision to do what is right for someone you care for.” Azure Phoenix responded as they operated from their hug with a little advice for the girl.

“I won't forget.” Twilight nods her head i stating this about what she’ll keep in mind.

“Then go & have a chat with your old friends. They need you now.” Azure Phoenix pointed off in stating this to the girl of where she should go now.

“You know... I think I understand why he chose Twilight.” Iris stated this off to Strikespell in seeing their father’s action to Twilight.

“Is that so? That's a surprise.” Strikespell shrug off his shoulders to simply state the caper.

“You all missed me, didn't you? Come on, you can't fool me so easily. I maybe the youngest of Phoenix Family, but I'm a lot smarter & resourceful too.” Iris raised an eyebrow in knowing that Azure Phoenix saw Twilight as if another daughter to the family when she left them, they tried to fill in a void.

“Fine, you win... She reminds us of you. I just want to be reminded again after the argument we had.” Strikespell sighs in defeat to simply give in to explain the case of what Iris saw through.

“You still can visit me & we can have a chat, silly. No need to get worry over the past. Let's just put it behind & look into the future.” Iris smiled off in stating this about what they can do now in looking forward then looking back.

“Fair enough. Are you & that half-brother of ours planned to have a New Year celebration?” Strikespell rolled the eyes while asking a strange subject about family.

“You mean…” Iris gasped in thinking that this might involve her & Ben, & it’s…

“You did say to get to know him. And I will. I don't make my promises if he tried to make fun of me.” Strikespell stated that he will get to know Ben more, starting around a special get together of the family.

“He's just 17. What do you expect? An obedient dog? He may be different from us, but he's still our family.” Iris rolled her eyes in stating this factor for Strikespell to know that Ben is not someone who will be easy to heed the older commands of an older sibling.

“Fine... In fact, I'm retired from my post.” Strikespell sighs to say this while issuing off this other matter.

“Why?” Iris raised an eyebrow in being puzzled in having heard this.

“Let's say that I've got a new hobby to do.” Strikespell stated off to say this while not saying much else.

Soon we see Twilight waving goodbye to the ones in the office as she, Celestia & Iris decided to go out to tell the news to some ‘friends’ about what’s happened. As things faded out for this time…

 

------------------------------------

 

At this time, we see Principal Cinch leaning herself against an arrived Crystal Prep bus, sighing from all that has happened. Out of all the craziness that took place during this Friendship Games, she just heard from Azure & Strikespell that as of this moment that Twilight Sparkle has decided to transfer to Canterlot High, & was brought in to discuss that with Principal Celestia after a meeting settlement took place earlier. This was not going to look good for Crystal Prep’s reputation.

“Our school’s perfect record is now gone, our smartest student is transferring to another school, at CHS, & it will almost certainly end up dropping our grade point average more than a little.” Principal Cinch sighs to say this in knowing that so many things are going wrong after the Friendship Games, it can’t get much worse than that.

“Maybe you should cut your loses & let bygones be bygones,” Then coming around the other side of the bus was none other than Detective Dan being all sly & stuff.

“And you are….” Principal Cinch raised an eyebrow in not recalling this strange man’s name.

“A detective who learn about a few shady things?.Crystal Prep may be well respected, but its actions may cause the staff to arrest you.” Detective Dan stated off in mentioning this about what Crystal Prep has done that may cause some…arrest issues.

“What!?” Principal Cinch yelps off to say this in seeing what was currently being said, much to her surprise.

“That plus blackmailing, staff member threatening the students of said school, hiring some criminal nut job that manipulated you all, oh & did I forget to mention you forcing a teen girl to use something unstable to win the last challenge of the Friendship Games?” Detective Dan was counting his fingers in stating off all of the matters of what Crystal Prep was involved in, most of which was from the manipulation of Dr. G. Gar, but still…the things don’t lie.

“But…you can’t….that would ruin the school’s reputation to which…we be shut down! The Phoenix Founding members would become laughing stocks!” Principal Cinch issued off to say this in wanting the detective to not expose such things that would ruin their boarding school’s reputation.

“Let it be principal.” Strikespell’s voice is heard in entering the picture, along with his father, Azure Phoenix in having heard things.

“Mr. Azure Phoenix, Mr. Strikespell, but this man is going to…” Principal Cinch yelps in seeing these two here, but tried to inform them of what was happening.

“We rip what we sow, this is our own undoing.” Strikespell issued off to say this in staring down in regretful defeat of how things ended up.

“The best way to make sure Twilight never assumes ‘that’ form again, is to keep her close to her friends, & younger siblings, so they can keep her in check. The best way to keep her close to her friends & younger siblings is to allow her to finally transfer to Canterlot High.” Azure Phoenix explained off in what was to happen to make sure that Twilight is more happy in being with those that care for her as well as care for her right back.

“Finally someone making sense, tell you what….start shaping up, & MAYBE….this will be our little secret in which ‘MUM’ is…the magic word.” Detective Dan issued off in seeing Azure Phoenix was finally getting the picture, enough that he won’t even have to report the weirdness that is also involved in magic, if Crystal Prep changes for the better.

“Ugh, I think I’ve had enough with magic for one day.” Principal Cinch rolled her eyes in preferring to be done with the magic subject today, it’s cause nothing but trouble….especially when outside the military, no one in the whole world would believe it.

“Well Principal Cinch, you best make certain you take this to heart, unless of course…you wanna resign as principal.” Azure Phoenix issued to say this in making the principal yelp in hearing this.

“Orrrr….we could take the arresting approach.” Detective Dan remarks slyly, causing Principal Cinch to gulp as she thinks about that consequence.

 

------------------------

 

Everyone watches as Principal Cinch is being taken away by the authorities for various crimes…and appears to be swollen up like a balloon. One of them, Jet Set comments, “What’s with Principal Cinch?”

Upper Crust shrugs as she explains, “The cops are arresting her for blackmail.”

“I get THAT, but why does she look like so swelled up?”

“Apparently, somebody took her last bottle of her anti-allergy medicine and her car seat was all covered in dog fur.”

Trenderhoof laughs a bit, “Yeah. Principal Cinch should REALLY do a better job keeping her car locked. A couple of dogs broke into the car shortly after the mess with Twilight’s evil super-form but JUST before Cinch tried to demand Canterlot High forfeited.”

Cinch, all swollen from her allergies as she is being led away by the police, yells, “As soon as my lawyers get me acquitted, I’m going to find out who stole my anti-allergy medicine AND let those blasted dogs into my car.”

Shining Armor comment to Principal Cinch, “And, even if your lawyers DO get you acquitted on the blackmail charges, the negative publicity from the trial would STILL do even further damage to your reputation.”

Cinch could only scream in fright from that…

 

---------------

 

Cinch stops screaming as she saw everyone else staring before sighing to tip her glasses to clean them & then get on the bus without speaking out in fear of losing her current position…and get into further humiliation like in her dream sequence.

“Yep, don’t know if she’ll stick with it or not, but….that’s a case in mystery left for some other time.” Detective Dan shrug off to simply say this in seeing how things were gonna go from here; it’s anybody’s guess.

Cinch nods her head quietly in understanding the case crystal clear as many Crystal Prep students were slowly getting on the bus to prepare to leave. Even those that felt different in helping the Rainbooms, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat, Sour Sweet & Sunny Flare looked back at CHS, feeling like for a school they were supposed to compete to beat, it was a pretty cool school & had some memories they probably won’t forget anytime soon; especially…having made some new friends & learn a thing or two…

 

----------------------

 

Nearby, Shadow Dragon was talking to his squad about some things. Namely that Project End that the enemy tried to do was finally put a stop to, humanity is saved, & with Dark Curse gone, his organized group will crumbled before they disappear. Today was a great victory, sure they got word that more of the Imperial Phoenix Army was searching the globe for wrecked limb parts belong to the Phoenix Fortress because while nothing of it should have remained, it was better to keep it out of enemy hands.

“So, that’s it hugh? We won?” Blazefist shrug off to say in seeing the big battle that they fought to stop Project End, is finally over with.

“Not yet….the Dark Terrorists maybe finished with their leader’s demise, but Cobra & the Decepticons are still out there.” Shorty Thinking stated off in knowing what threats still remain even if one enemy has been cut down severely.

“Not to mention, Mob Boss Smaug too.” Tailtech pointed off that there was another enemy to consider.

“Well, we’ll be ready to capture them yet!” Laxtinct issued off to say this to pound his fist together.

“As long as nobody helps them escape. Like the Dazzlings.” Terrorcreep rolled his eyes off to recall two members that had fallen for the Dazzlings to dig them a tunnel & give them a getaway vehicle.

“The guy’s not letting that mistake slide anytime soon, is he?” Icy whispered this off to the others in seeing how such a thing will never leave them.

“Flare Tiger & her group went off somewhere, but said they’ll check in with us later.” Saber Dragon pointed off in what Flare Tiger’s group is currently doing.

“So Shadow Dragon, what do we do from here on?” Aqua asked off in wondering what they do from this point on.

“Optimus & his Autobots have gone off to be with their human friends on a farm & I think we can all follow the example.” Shadow Dragon stated off in what the Autobots are doing & what they should do to in that example, “Spending time…with family.” He smiled to look at the photo of his family, seeing it’s been a long time since he’s seen them when going around the world so much.

“I think that would be a wonderful idea.” Iris smiled off to say as she came & hug Shadow Dragon, feeling like that was an idea that was perfect to do.

With that, the Dragon Strike Force begins to pack it up & get ready to head on home to rest & relax with their family & friends. Tomorrow might be another big day, hopefully it won’t be as big as what happened at school here, but….more or less, something magical that CHS can always bring about the fun & excitement of learning…

However, as Shadow Dragon was going in a direction for home, he stops to notice someone having packed a bag looking ready to go; it was Jason, AKA Mystic Knight. After being free of the Dark Stone’s effect, Jason was told about everything, how he & Strikespell were manipulated by Dr. G. Gar, who was really Grogar from Equestria as pawns to aid with Cobra, the Dark Terrorists & the Decepticons for Project END. But thankfully it was all stopped, however, the guy seem more upset over how things went but as he was almost gonna catch a bus stop however…

“Jason... Where are you going?” Shadow Dragon called out in having the guy stop to notice who was calling him.

“What does it looks like? Out of this stupid town.” Jason remarked off that he’s leaving this town.

“That's a first. Mind telling me why.” Shadow Dragon rolled his eyes before asking why Jason was doing such a thing.

“I’ll ask. Why? Why did you choose that kid over me? And above all, why didn't you kill me? That Dark Stone granted me of what I really wanted. I've become strong & powerful. We could have ended everyone.” Jason argue this off to Shadow Dragon about having sided with Ben Mare, then even to the point of not finishing him off, but destroying his Dark Stone that gave him power; why did Shadow Dragon do what he did back then instead of finishing the guy off.

“Because you're still my apprentice & partner. And as for Ben, he'd never put his friends, family & innocents in danger, even it means to surrender himself. That is what heroes are supposed to do. Always think of innocent lives first than the kill of the enemy. You've forgotten that the most…” Shadow Dragon spoke off in lecturing the guy about having not realized what was the important step of being a hero of what’s right then being something else that does the wrong, Jason had forgotten it while Ben shows it a little more.

“Whatever... That is old school. And you know that just because Dark Curse is dead, doesn't mean the Dark Terrorists are finished. They will be back & they will go in a blaze. They will try to destroy the world & they will kill everyone. Everything you all did is making things worse. Still think Friendship is Magic?” Jason huffed off to roll his eyes in not caring, as far as he can tell, their enemy has only been pushed back while licking their deep wounds before making some big final stand to go out in a blaze, like the strength of others can win every time.

“To you, maybe friendship isn’t as magical to believe in, but to me, it is. They did saved the world thrice.” Shadow Dragon pointed out that those that showed the strength in friendship, saved their world three times already; against their foes after the Dazzlings, then saving this world from dimensional rips & lastly the Dark Phoenix Fortress that Grogar would have used to wipe out all of humanity.

“Whatever. See ya, master.” Jason rolled his eyes to say this to not bother as he was seen about to take off.

“Where will you go now?” Shadow Dragon raised an eyebrow pondering where this man will go to now.

“Taking bad guys down for good. That's what Red Hood is always doing.” Jason commented off to wave a back hand to Shadow Dragon in stating what he’ll do, live out the style of someone doing things on their own without law & order.

“I thought you hated that codename.” Shadow Dragon raised an eyebrow in recalling the claim that Jason once said of that codename.

“Still hate it. But I'm still Mystic Knight. A military style of course. Don't expect me not to go easy on that kid. I'm not an easy opponent.” Jason issued off to state this while saying he won’t be easy on Ben Mare next time they may cross paths.

“I’m counting on that…” Shadow Dragon stated off to say this as his eyes watch the guy.

Jason gets on a bus at the time, as it takes him off somewhere, where to…Shadow Dragon doesn’t know. But the guy is certain, their paths may meet again someday, when & where, that is the mystery.

Meanwhile by the wrecked Wondercolt statue, we see the Rainbooms having a time to themselves as everyone was passing through. Fluttershy was petting Angel Bunny, Applejack & Rarity were chatting, Rainbow Dash & Pinkie Pie talked, even Goldie’s group had Omega, who made himself about average size small to hang with, chat with Megan’s group along with Ben, Nyx & even Starlight Sparkle. All while Sunset leans on the statue with her magic book still in her hands while looking up to the sky as the Rainbooms team also had gold medals for winning the games & Sunset felt…happy about how things turn out.

“Um, Sunset, I have to be a bother, but…is there still no word from Princess Twilight?” Fluttershy approached with a concern expression as she petted Angel Bunny about what might be distracting Sunset since they never got word from Pony Twilight.

Sunset checks her magic book, skims through it before coming to a conclusion.

“Not yet.” Sunset shook her head in stating there was still no response.

“Is this Princess Twilight, different from the other Twilight you hang with?” Omega asked the group he hangs with about a difference between two Twilight Sparkles.

“Yeah Omega, she’s a Pony version to our Human version Twilight.” Pinkamena patted a hand on her robot pal to be filled in later.

“But you guys know what, I think I may have figured out how magic works in this world now.” Sunset smiled to shut the book to look to the others in having understood about how the magic works in this world they live in.

“You have, for real? You finally figured it out?” Jack Zen asked off in thinking that sounds like major discovery finds to him.

“Well then don’t keep us in suspense, what is it?” Goldie asked in liking to know what it is that Sunset has learn to tell them.

“It took time, but during the events before & after the games, I piece it together.” Sunset stated in having figured out what it was that the magic works in this world. “We pony up when we're showing what could only be the truest part of ourselves.” The Rainbooms smiled in having heard all of this to feel like what the girl said, sounded very true. “But I was so busy waiting for someone else to give me the answers to questions I couldn’t solve fast enough, that I gave up looking for them myself.” as Sunset smiled to look at her book, Angel Bunny cuddle Fluttershy’s cheeks as Sunset felt like she learn something, she touch the book in feeling like she gave up too soon instead of keep on trying.

“It’s okay Sunset, we understand.” Megan stated with an okay smile in stating this to their friend to not feel concern about what was in the past, the real matter is how it turn out in the future.

“So Rainbow Dash’s daring actions & performance, Rarity’s generosity & her style for designing cloths, Pinkie Pie’s party motion & good joy for all things fun, Fluttershy’s kind & gentle nature, Applejack’s honest & noble acts, & your aid of understanding magic & about friends…” Danny pointed off all of the things that the five to six members of the Rainbooms did that can also trigger their transformations.

“Made it all possible that you could transform without your instruments. So then now even Ben, Nyx & Twilight here can do it if they represent who they are.” Molly stated off in seeing that from all that, plus if Ben, Nyx, even this world’s Twilight follow of who they are, can transform into their Pony Hybrid forms.

“Sounds possible, maybe.” Phobos shrug off to say this in having heard all this to lightly follow through.

“Well in any case, I’m sure there will be more magical problems that may just pop up in this world, but it’s like Applejack said to me; ‘Princess Twilight has her own problems to worry about in Equestria’.” Sunset stated off to say with a smile to nod in knowing what’s to come, but shrug off a right hand to knowing what AJ said that about Pony Twilight as she clutch her book to knowing that Pony Twilight can’t always come to their rescue every time. “So in conclusion about Princess Twilight from the Pony World, can't expect her to always be around to help us out when we need it.” She shook her head while smiling, fully understanding that Princess Twilight has her own problems, so they should let it be while they do things on their side.

“But…maybe I can be of some help.” Suddenly, everyone turns to see who was coming over & spoke to them; it was a little smiling Twilight of the Human World holding Spike as they came with Celestia & Iris to the gang.

“I have news everyone. It seems we have a new Wondercolt here at Canterlot High! Twilight Sparkle!” Celestia patted Twilight’s shoulder to proudly center who will be joining them from now on as Twilight smiled sheepishly from the big news about what is happening; she’s joining CHS. “As of now, she is coming back to our school. She’s now a permanent Wondercolt.” Celestia issued this last part off to get everyone’s excitement ready.

“For real, mom? Or is this a joke? I'm so not in good mood with Strikespell's sudden Dark Stone attack.” Ben asked his mother in hoping this was no joke to pull his leg.

“Nope. It's real. In fact, I'm in-charged of helping & getting Twilight use to her new school….or old school. But you know what I mean. But what I'm saying is that Twilight Sparkle is coming back home.” Iris stated off to happily mention this news to the group.

“For real sis, you’re gonna be attending classes…here?” Starlight Sparkle ask doff in having heard what his sister was gonna do.

“Oh this is so exciting! Now my sibling trio is all here!” Nyx smiled for joy to be jumping up & down, now her sister will join them here at CHS.

“Twilight, I can’t believe it…your finally going here?” Ben asked off in not believing this, it’s like a dream come true.

“I am, and…I hope things can be like they use to be.” Twilight nods lightly in saying this about what she likes to happen.

“Actually, I think things will be even better.” Then arriving on the scene was Flash Sentry, smiling to make this claim. “Am I right Ben?” He wink to Ben in giving his buddy a clue of his words.

“Right as rain, Flash.” Ben nods off that what use to be with Twilight will be even better, cause now they are here…together.

“Well, it took a while, but I think they finally listened to reason & I can transfer here.” Twilight smiled off to state this to the Rainbooms group about having now gain the chance to join those at CHS.

“That, & in additional being tired of being treated like a pawn by blackmailing egomaniacs & overly-paranoid government types & will also finally get to be close to your friends during school hours.” Pinkamena cuts in to happily state this off of what Twilight was gonna say next here, much to the girl’s surprise in having to save a moment to explain that.

“Right, plus….it seem like Strikespell was not going to argue about it.” Twilight slowly responded to say this while mentioning this other fact.

“So you were finally allowed to transfer to Canterlot High. Considering this is Strikespell we’re talking about, I guess you should be considering that an early birthday present.” Ben commented off to smile to Twilight that the girl was lucky that even hard guys like Strikespell finally gave up & allowed Twilight to do what she really wants; it’s a dream come true.

“Looks like I won’t be the only dog on campus no more.” Phobos stated off in seeing how things are gonna be around here with Spike now coming around this place as he does.

“Eh, we’ll share the spot….and the cafeteria’s food scraps too.” Spike shrug off to simply say this in knowing what the two can do during the time.

“Oh my stars! This is just like old times! Welcome back, Twilight!” Applejack replied of in being so gosh darn happy for her friend.

“Indeed! We really miss you. You deserve to be with us than the Shadowbolts. Ugh, no offense of course.” Rarity proudly was stating this, but then yelped to correct herself as their old rivalry feud is over now.

“I’m pretty sure they don't mind, since Cinch had made them admitted their mistakes, especially me.” Twilight shrug off to slightly state this little fact. She comment to them, especially Nyx, Ben and Starlight, “I’m sorry things got so crazy. AND I’m sorry I had to pretend not to recognize my friends in order to keep my so-called teammates from getting suspicious.”

“Just drop the past for once, Twilight. You don't need to worry about that anymore. You're with us now.” Pinkie Pie smile doff to say this to her friend.

“Yeah. We all say we've forgive you. Want to know why? You're a Wondercolt! And I'll say once! Welcome back!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed forth in happily welcoming back an old member of the team.

“Yes... Everything is back the way it was. Friends till the end, right?” Fluttershy stated off to happily say this in how things were turning out.

Soon a few more comments & agreements came from most of Goldie’s group, Megan’s group, & pretty much anyone there to say what they felt for Twilight being with them again.

"Thank you, everyone. I'm glad I'm back…to s school I feel like I belong, & especially with my true friends.” Twilight smiled a bit to wipe some sniffy tears coming out of her eyes before drying them up now. “I’m not sure how much help I could be compared to another me.” Twilight shook her head off while smiling with honesty about how much more help she can be for everyone that needs a ‘Twilight’ to help them out. “But I'd like to try. That is, if you would all give me a new chance. A chance to start our old friendship anew.” As she spoke, Spike was panting with excitement as Twilight look down to lightly blush in liking to join everyone here that are…her friends, to give her another shot.

As everyone looked at Twilight, there was nothing but smiles as everyone showed in feeling like having this Human Twilight will be like having Pony Twilight, only better because it’ll be all the time.

“I’m sure I can count on you girls & everyone else here, to help her…to help Twilight feel at home.” Celestia smiled off proudly in knowing that for certain, this Twilight will feel perfectly at home with them.

“You sure can.” Sunset spoke off as she place an arm around a smiling Twilight as they all shared a smile in knowing they will make Twilight here feel right at home here.

Then without warning, Rarity came in to hug Twilight while pushing her glasses up a bit, though Rainbow Dash gave a little elbow nudge to Sunset which she felt. Then AJ came near Rarity, Fluttershy came near Rainbow Dash, & a squealing for joy Pinkie Pie came from above as the girls got in a big group hug.

“Room for a few more?” Ben asked off if the girls wouldn’t mind a few others to join in this.

“Of course, come on in!” Twilight happily said in liking to have more friends join the moment together.

Now Ben, Starlight & Nyx carrying Phobos came up to hug Twilight, followed by Megan, Danny & Molly, Pinkamena, Goldie, Jack Zen, & lastly to give the group that extra special hug…was the big lovable Omega, but not too tight, but just gently right.

Now as Celestia watches this, this was a happy sight, Twilight felt truly apart of the gang to be truly happy to be surrounded by friends…& family. Hoboken Joe appeared near Celestia with a camera, he asked her if he should, & the principal nods before he took a picture worth a thousand words of showing…the true spirit of the Friendship Games. The camera begins to zoom up near the setting sun, as something magically happened that red lines form off to make a star, & appearing to the right side was…a familiar purple star; as the two seem to represent what was likely…a spark of friendship between Sunset Shimmer & Twilight Sparkle.

Then as everything faded out in black, something appeared in its place that was….the title of the story:

 

FRIENDSHIP GAMES REMAKE

 

But just as it flash off a bit, it then quickly zoomed off at this time to make everything go black again.

The scene then opens up to where we find what the gang was doing during a nice quiet & sunny day, they seem to be having a picnic by the still busted Wondercolt statue. Pinkie Pie lay on top of the busted statue to look down in seeing Sunset eat a sandwich, Applejack smelt a sunflower; Rarity was trying to work with Rainbow Dash’s hair, much to the girl’s annoyance, Twilight watch Fluttershy play with Spike by rubbing his belly. Ben & Flash were having an arm wrestling contest as Nyx watched this with Phobos, Goldie, Jack Zen & Pinkamena ate cupcakes while Omega stood nearby with Megan, Danny & Molly in seeing how everyone’s doing.

“Alert! Sensors detect strange unknown force!” Omega spoke off to alert everyone in sensing a disturbance that caught his attention.

“FRusvhmm…Zzizizivhmmm…” Then without warning, the statue’s spot showed a swirl as if…the portal was active from a bright light that made AJ & Sunset yelp before who should come through it but….Pony Twilight in human form.

“I’m so, so sorry I didn't get here sooner you guys!” Pony Twilight apologized to her friends for having been delayed from coming here from the recent request Sunset sent her. “I didn't get your messages Sunset until just now, because I was caught in this time travel loop and honestly, it was the strangest thing that's ever happened to me! Hugh…” Twilight was explaining off the scientific facts of what was happening that caused her to be in a delay to about smile that it was the strangest thing she’s ever encountered up to this point while taking a breather…

But then Pony Twilight stopped herself to let off a surprise gasp as everyone else showed either smiles of seeing a friend from Equestria again or surprised faces that Princess Twilight arrived at such a time. OR…because standing before Pony Twilight was to her shock, ANOTHER Twilight only with a comb bun hair & wore glasses & clutch her hands while Spike was panting with a tongue to see someone that look like his owner. And even seeing another version of a wide-eye Ben Mare, a stump speechless Nyx that drop Phobos who yelped in seeing this as there were now…TWO Twilight Sparkles! Pretty much, Pinkie Pie slurps her drink in cutting off the silence. As Human Twilight gives a little meekly wave of saying ‘hello’ to the shock & confused Twilight from Equestria, even Sunset smiled in thinking this surprise was something else to experience.

“Okay, make that the second strangest.” Twilight sheepishly points her right finger to correct her statement of what was the first strangest thing, to seeing another her before her.

“Unbelievable….she looks like…me.” Human Twilight exclaimed off surprised to see another version of herself here.

The two Twilights say at the exact same time, “I take it you’re your universe’s version of me.” The two pauses to give other awkward chuckles before they both say ALSO at the exact same time, “Yes. By all appearances, I am.”

“Only without the glasses & tied up hair style.” Pinkamena pointed out the stuff that was different between Human Twilight & the Twilight from Equestria Prime.

“Pretty surprising, hugh…Princess Twilight? Or was there a third to fourth strangest things you saw?” Sunset leans over to make a sly comment about Princess Twilight being speechless to see another version of herself here.

“Well, I never really knew if I had one in this world or not.” Princess Twilight sheepishly rubbed the back of her head to admit this little matter before quickly clearing her throat in getting some strange views from the rest. “And no, I’m NOT going to correct myself about what I’ve seen just because I met this universe's version of me. In fact, I already met THREE other versions of myself!” Pony Twilight exclaimed off in having to mention this stuff out about how things have gotten very weird from what she’s stubble across even to this point. “Of course two of them are evil.” She muttered under her breath in knowing about two evil universe versions of herself, one from the Mirrorverse & the other, Twilight Moon. “AND as of right now, I’ve seen A LOT of weird stuff since moving to Ponyville, so this little incursion just about scratches into the top twenty, so far….” Pony Twilight concluded her statement about what it was to see another version of herself here was just about something compared to so many strange things happening at home.

“She so…didn’t see this coming.” Jack Zen pointed off in seeing that Princess Twilight wasn’t expecting this surprise encounter.

“I agree to that!” Goldie nods off to say while taking another bite of cupcake.

“Well, seeing that the portal’s working…guess that means we can head back to our world.” Megan stated to say this in knowing that with the portal’s magic return, they can head on back to where they came from.

“Too bad, it was fun being young again while it lasted.” Molly shrug off to say this in how things were going.

“But I bet you’ll be glad not to be so small when you grow up.” Danny teased to say this about Molly’s height, much to her pouty face in her brother making one last joke.

“Um…what happened that…the statue is busted and….there’s another Omega that Pinkamena has here?” Princess Twilight asked off in seeing what else seem to have happened that she noticed a busted horse statue to a new version of Omega standing near her.

“Hello!” Omega waved off to greet the girl from another world.

“We’ll explain along the way, until then….take care, everyone.” Megan stated off to say this as it was better to explain during the trip back.

With that, everyone was waving farewell to the group, even Human Twilight was waving goodbye with a smile as Ben & Nyx stood near her…as Princess Twilight smiled in sorta feeling happy that the other version of herself in this world; was happy to be with friends. And soon, they’re gone.

“Oh hey, I got something I wanna show you!” Human Twilight exclaims eagerly as she stood up and rushes over to a bush nearby. The gang looks puzzled, wondering what it is she wishes to show them.

To their surprise, Twilight seems to open something and leans down…with the top part disappearing much to their alarm. Suddenly a DeLorean like car appears from out of nowhere, it must’ve been invisible and Twilight deactivated the invisibility mode!

“Whoa, Twi. That is a nice car!” Rainbow exclaims impressed with the car.

“Yeah. Sunset and Pinkie helped me design and build it.” Twilight said with a smile as she motions to Sunset and Pinkie, who are the only ones who recognize it. “I’m about to take it for a test flight.

“Don’t yew mean “test drive”?” Applejack ask, wondering if Twilight has mistaken her words.

“No. Test FLIGHT. Allow me to demonstrate.” Twilight said as she got into the DeLorean and flips a switch that causes the car to covert to “hover-mode”.

“Whoa!” Nyx exclaims in amazement.

“Darn. Forgot something.” Twilight said as she remembers something, causing her to flips the vehicle back to normal move, landing before she steps out and grabs a bag of tin cans nearby. “I need to make sure the vehicle has enough fuel.” The human version of Twilight walks over to the engine area, which has a device marked “Mister Fusion” on it. She then proceeds to put several cans in “Mister Fusion”.

“All right. Let me guess; if your calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, we’re going to see some serious stuff.” Pinkamena said with a wild smirk on her face.

“What can I say? I REQALLY love those movies; regardless of how laughably outdated they could sometimes be.” Twilight giggles in delight. Once she’s done, the human girl gets back in the vehicle and flips the hover-conversion back on.

As everyone watches on, Twilight begins flying her vehicle away from the area for a moment…then she turns the thing around. Everyone cheers as the DeLorean flashes a bit before it looks like it’

Then at this moment, the scene goes black as something was being seen along with the ending credits, plus the background was starting off the song ‘Right There In Front Of Me’ at this time. First up came images of the Crusaders, Scootaloo, Apple Bloom & Sweetie Belle wearing their Wondercolt pony ear decorations. Then the next scene shows Snips & Snails, even Diamond Tiara putting on her pony ears while the two boys are dancing on the dance floor.

 

Twilight: I spent so much time searchin'
Lookin' for somethin' more
Diggin' holes too deep
And opening every door
And when you stand too close
Yeah, the picture's never clear
And when you look too far away
It all but disappears

 

Another scene shows some CHS rocking out, Cloudy Kicks on the rake steps cheering, Blueberry Cake whispering to something in a phone, Tennis Match was in the center looking like she’s playing an air-guitar, Norman & Mystery Mint were seen being happy during the showing. Then as the next scene splits, shows four friends looking wild & silly in rock-out pose & hand signs; they were Crimson Napalm, Velvet Sky, Cheery Crash & Aqua Blossom. Next shot splits to show Wondercolt student fans of Flash Sentry rocking, Sandalwood giving a peace out sign & Micro Chips using his text phone. And in another scene shows Luna looking like she was singing & dancing as Celestia stood by to smile & watch her sister perform.

 

All: And it was right (right) there in front of me (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Just too close for me to see (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sometimes the things you want
Are not the things you need
And it was right there in front of me

 

Then during more credits, we see more scene photos of other students, like the CHS Marching Band that helped Rainbow Dash’s Pep-Rally speech, all together, smiling happily. Next photo scene shows Snips hushing someone as Snails was near Lyra Heartstrings & Bon Bon in about to ‘pop’ a paper bag near the sleeping girls in the library. Next photo scene shows Scribble Dee taking a picture of a girl named Starlight, Bright Idea & Captain Planet while accompanying…Cranky Doodle who was, well…cranky. Another photo shot shows Bon Bon taking a snapshot of her, Lyra Heartstrings, Micro Chips & a smiling Derpy too in the hallway.

 

Sunset Shimmer: There was a time before
I didn't know where I belonged
I thought I needed more
And that I couldn't get along

 

During another credits scene, another photo shows the entire Wondercolt team with Luna & Celestia on either side, the Rainbooms made happy, smiling, proudful or bigger grins on their faces, & others behind made normal, or somewhat uneasy smiles of made silly faces. Next photo scene showed the Shadowbolts team with Cadance on one side & Principal Cinch on the other looking strict & firm as the students look uptight or some just…ehh, not being thrilled enough & a worried Twilight by Cadance during the shot.

 

Twilight & Sunset Shimmer: But who I am
Was all I ever needed
And when I faced that test
I finally succeeded

 

Then as the credits continued to move along, another scene shows a photo of Cadance holding onto Luna’s right arm as they laugh off happily, making Crystal Prep students Sour Sweet & Sunny Flare look at them with weird out expressions of why they seem too cheerful. Then another scene shows Pinkie Pie i her cowgirl outfit while Rainbow Dash leaning near her while twirling her policeman’s ratchet thing.

 

All: And it was right (right) there in front of me (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Just too close for me to see (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
Sometimes the things you want
Are not the things you need
And it was right there in front of me
Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

 

Then instantly, we see Sunset in her wielding torch outfit lean to smirk off confidently towards a sly smiling Fluttershy in her ice hockey goalie outfit. Next scene shows Wiz Kid looking worried as he sees six crystal Prep students that showed off looks like they just don’t care or being smug about being better than the rest. Then another photo shows the gym auditorium lit up like a fun party as Paisley was dancing in having another Crystal Prep dance with her as Upper Crust & Trenderhoof felt lost & unsure if they wanna….do something when in truth…it looked like a lot of fun. Then in another photo scene, we see Lemon Zest getting her ‘rock-n-roll’ dance funky self off on the dance floor with another Crystal Prep male student as many other students were looking to be having a swell time.

 

Twilight & Sunset Shimmer: And it's all I'll ever need

 

Then another photo scene appeared over the credits in showing Sandalwood & Micro Chips smiling to point at their chippy put to together birdhouse; it may not be a winner, but they work hard on it.

 

All: Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

 

Then the next scene shows a photo of Cadance, Luna & Celestia stuffing themselves with Pinkie Pie’s three to four layer cake with the Mona Lisa image, only to look wide eye surprise in them showing how much they ‘REALLY’ were digging the cake.

 

Twilight & Sunset Shimmer: And it was right there in front of me

 

All: Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh

 

Next photo scene shows Sunny Flare & Pinkie Pie on the short roller skate track pushing against another while Rarity & Lemon Zest were behind in seeing the two in a gridlock match.

 

Twilight & Sunset Shimmer: And it's all I'll ever need

 

All: Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
And it was right there in front of me-ee-ee

 

Then another photo scene shows a cocky Indigo Zap & a determine Sunset Shimmer on the motocross dirt hill where they are racing it off. Then during the final photo scene during the last part of the song, we see the Rainbooms gathered together in front of the school as they smiled with the joining of Goldie, Jack Zen, Pinkamena, Omega, Nyx, Ben Mare, Starlight Sparkle, Spike, Phobos & their new addition to the group near Sunset was…Twilight Sparkle.

 

--------------------

 

Meanwhile at this time, the scene changes to a deep dark space of nothingness, the shadowy blur form Lucifer stood before a gigantic black ball-like while within shown two Crimson eyes. It would seem he had arrived to find this thing, as if wanting to start a conversation.

“Ah... My little brother….Cursecon the Manipulator. It's nice to see you here.” Lucifer’s voice spoke off in seeing who else was here.

The Demonic & monstrous looking creature resembling a Dark Elf with gentle white hair, scarred on his crimson right eye who was dressed in an ancient European gentleman’s suit withDdemonic wings stretched out. He turn to Lucifer in seeing him & noticing how they both have seen better days.

“Indeed, it is. Yet unfortunately, we've just awaken from our prison. Our powers are not as strong as Grimmore’s might…” Cursecon issued forth in making a stated claim of the issue matter.

“Let him be for now, you & I both know he can destroy the world so easily, it’s his decision to make. We must find the others. And at the same time, let our powers regained & returned to us.” Lucifer exclaimed off in mentioning this about knowing that Grimmore’s power can destroy the EQG Universe if he wants, they don’t mind so long as they seek others.

“Agreed... And soon our revenge will be complete. Both mortals & immortals will pay for defeating us, especially the one called Ronin.” Cursecon exclaimed forth in agreement while knowing what else they best do.

“Yes. And I know how to free the rest from their prison. We need something that is pure & powerful, in which light and darkness will try to clash with each other.” Lucifer smirked off in stating what they need to help them out, a strong enough shake from two opposing forces will do nicely.

“Yes… I know what you mean. Why bother ourselves to free them when we can have the pure power of light & darkness try to clash one another?” Cursecon rub his chin in thinking this through in slowly following up this idea.

“The Element of Magic will help us & so does the other Elements.” Lucifer exclaimed off to say this in what will aid them.

“Yes….” Cursecon stated in seeing how things are.

Then something began to appear from above the two as it was something of a small blacken blur of something without form, but it’s ripeness made the two be…tense.

“Good... Good... They may think me as a myth & urban legend. But those fools have no idea what lies ahead. I can see it... The Age of Apocalypse will arrive soon.” Spoke a strange voice of something dark, but unseen, yet sounding dangerous. “Go & find the others. Remember, do not interfere in Grimmore's game. Let him be…for his power rivals my own & still grows for planning his ultimate return….” The strange being issued this off as an order while warning those here to let the Demon God Grimmore by, for they must focus on their own agendas.

“Yes, oh Great One.” Lucifer & Cursecon bowed their heads in having heard their orders.

“The world will fear us…it is only a matter…of time.” The mysterious creature issued off to say, as everything begins to fade….

 

-------------------

 

Meanwhile in the EQG Universe, within a military isolation chamber, there were medics taking in bodies of those that were of the decease. Right now, they were taking in a body of one decease Dark Curse, as they plan to place it within a long drawer width to shut the body inside the walls. But someone said that it was time for a change in shift-ment & to let the next bunch handle the rest. Suddenly, Dark Curse's body shakes very hard when no one’s around as if something was trying to break free. His chest broke into pieces, then a strangely purplish orb emerged & floated in the air as it glowed darkly when nothing was near.

“They have no idea what they have done. Everything is going according to my plan.” The voice belonging to Dark Curse from the strange orb laughs off while ranting. “All goes very well... Now my empire will unleash their hatred & rage upon this pathetic world. They will know what it means be fear of death & destruction. We will meet in the future, My Little Ponies. For now... We watch how the world goes... Let's see how fare your friendship can reach...” The voice of Dark Curse issued off to say this as if knowing that from his demise will start a revolution & what happens then will lead to…something else…

Then the purplish orb then hovers off from the body of Dark Curse before it leaves through a vent system, as things go dark around here.

 

----------------------

 

At this time, the scene changes to what was the familiar portal room connecting Sunset’s magic book to the device in the Rainbow Castle. From there, Princes Twilight came out in returning to her pony form, then Megan’s group came afterwards while returning to their real adult ages instead of their younger forms back in Ponyland’s days. During the return trip, the humans filled Twilight in about what currently has happened during their stay to learn how magic has begun to work in EQG Universe, how the Rainbooms learn to channel it from being what they represent, etc. along with all of the exciting, yet scary, & such terrifying stuff that Twilight can’t believe it all happened while she was having problems getting to the Human World version of Equestria Prime.

“So let me get this straight, while there…the other me was stealing magic into an advance pendant that caused portal rifts?” Twilight asked off in trying to figure something out of what was what here of what went off in the other world.

“Yeah, but it was mostly from a weird stone Dr. G. Gar gave you who turn out to be using you.” Molly nods off to say this in what happened that someone gave Human Twilight something to be used for evil in stealing magic.

“And that my other self turns into a monstrous alter ego & Sunset became an angelic alter ego which she won against the other me?” Twilight raised an eyebrow in trying to slowly follow along the stuff that she’s hearing correctly.

“Yep, pretty much how it happened, right up to when a big battle took place without warning.” Danny nods off to simply say this that the girl was on the right track.

“And that the enemy behind using me was an old enemy of yours known as Grogar & he merged with a gigantic warship to change into a giant titanic behemoth?” Twilight slowly was asking this off in finding that this sorta of information too much to absorb as it all sounded so…so…so crazy.

“It’s hard to believe, but that all really happened, even the part about your other self has to use Xros Fusion with the Rainbooms to have Unity fight & win.” Megan explained to Twilight about how things happened with Human Twilight helping them stop Grogar when it seem like he almost won.

“I don’t believe what I’m hearing, if the others heard this & what a helpless other me was….they never let it down.” Twilight slapped her hoof to her head in just picturing such a thing that if her friends knew, they never stop teasing her about it.

“Cheer up, it’s over, remember? Plus, there aren’t any more evil lookalikes that around.” Danny pointed off that Twilight should relax, that was probably the last kind of version of a Twilight gone mad with power to ever be seen.

“Technically, there are a Mirrorverse version of me & one with the Three Lords, but…a Midnight Sparkle, does sound somewhat impossible.” Twilight stated off in knowing about other evil versions of herself, but rethinks a moment in seeing that…an evil human version of herself doesn’t seem possible after what she heard.

“Well we better get back home, it’s been a very long day from what we experienced.” Molly stated in seeing that it’s time they get on home as they are probably missed.

“Right, just take that path & I’m certain you’ll see your families on the other side.” Twilight nods off to say this in pointing a direction of where Megan’s group can head on out.

“Thanks Twilight & don’t worry….we were there & saw how much Sunset handled things while learning…to be more dependent on herself than wait for answers from you. She’s really come a long way, hasn’t she?” Megan patted Twilight’s back to smile i stating this for the girl to know, that Susnet did well on her own to learn that she has to stand on her own two feet, which seems to help her grow when Princess Twilight can’t always be there to solve every little problem.

“Yeah, she has…” Twilight nods off to smile a bit, Megan’s right…Sunset has learn to be dependent in that world, so…unless it’s super important, then she won’t be worried too much.

Soon Megan’s group turn to say their farewells to Twilight as they were going on out the way they came in to return to their friends & family. Twilight waves goodbye while wishing those luck & safe journey.

“Well, I’m sure they’re right, Sunset did managed to handle things, I guess all the portal rifts causes so much strain that it caused me to get lost.” Twilight slowly stated in understanding that things became okay dispute a little sidetrack in her travel to help friends in need…who ended up solving everything in the end.

“Hey Twilight, you back!” Spike’s voice is heard from the kitchen in having heard the mare’s return.

“Yes, be right there!” Twilight responded off to say this before looking back, then smiled to nod to herself. “I shouldn’t be worrying. Besides, it’s not like I’ll have to fight a human version of me that’s gone basaltic.” She rolled her eyes in thinking that will be the last thing she would ever expect to come across, a new version of her that is corrupted & acting all evil; not a chance she’ll be meeting anymore of ‘THOSE’ kind of problems besides the ones she’s dealing with now.

Twilight moves away from the spot, as she was going over to be with her family & friends within her castle…within Equestria Prime…where she hopes that things will continue to…well, progress over time. As for the thought of facing down evil or corrupt versions of the Mane Six, well…that’s just silly to expect to come across…isn’t it? Things go dark as that is something that will remain a mystery….or so it seems.

 

-----------------------------------------

 

At this time within a darken view, a flaming portal reveals what appears to be the EQG Universe in where human Twilight Sparkle was saved from being Midnight Sparkle. But the vid changed in showing another universe, showing a Midnight Sparkle that hasn’t been saved & continues to unleash her wild actions of untested power of so much magic. From a throne in shadows that watch this poly out, a Dark Elf approached his lord to kneel before speaking of what they are seeing.

“My lord, this world appears to have the specimen called Midnight Sparkle who is unchanged as what occurred in the other universe.” The Dark Elf warrior spoke humbly forth before his lord in bear-witnessing this action that has earn their attention.

“So it seems, intriguing that she can perform such abilities.” The mysterious man on the thrown spoke as he was seen tapping his fingers.

“Shall we plan to recruit her into our army?” The Dark Elf asked off in what they should do about this creature.

“In due time….first she must succumb of knowing who is in control…” The lord on the throne exclaimed in seeing to control someone of wild nature & relentless obedience, must learn its place.

Then without warning, with a wave of the hand, the image of Midnight Sparkle from the flaming portal suddenly warped through it, which she found completely surprised.

“What’s this…?” The Midnight Sparkle asked off in looking around, where was she, where or how did she come to this strange place?

“Your new home, my dear….& one where you will serve one that is more than your master.” Spoke the voce of someone that sat upon the throne that was near the lost child.

“Hugh….?” Midnight Sparkle gasped in looking at someone….she was staring at someone that caused her to…hover backwards in fright & sweated a lot. “I…I can sense it….magic….lots of it….but….that can’t be….it’s almost more then what I have, is it….absolute magic!?” Midnight Sparkle was gazing into the dark evil eyes of the one who summoned her, from the reflection seen, the girl was super terrific before we see who brought her into light….Equestria Prime’s most TOP villain of the Three Lords.

“He is your God….The Demon God Grimmore, of course.” Yes, Grimmore was the one who spoke leisurely towards the child that was but one more being in the palm of his hands. “Now….submit your will to serve for my cause…” He held up his hand, which just before Midnight Twilight could even escape, a fiery demon claw burst forth & clutched her tightly.

“Aaaaaaauughhhh!” Midnight Sparkle screamed out as unexplainable surges of burning flames & dark energy was coursing through her body; by the time it was over…the flames vanished & she was even hovering with a limp appearance.

“Speak….who is it you serve…” Grimmore spoke forth in wanting the child to say something of whom it is she serves.

“By the Law of Grimmore, the most powerful Demon God of all life, creation, across the universe….is the one I serve.” Midnight Sparkle spoke off in showing a sudden motion of loyalty as something appeared on her necklace…the symbol of Tartarus; the girl is now a servant to the Demon God.

“Excellent….when the time is right…Equestria will see just what sort of threat you can be….” Grimmore exclaimed forth in seeing that he will put this Twilight to use when the time arrives.

"I live to serve you, Overlord King of Tartarus, the mightiest of all creatures." Midnight Sparkle spoke forth in stating this claim as Grimmore was...silent of being praised. "Is something wrong, my lord?" She asked in being puzzled in what had distracted the Dark Elf Demon God as his eyes flare from using his all-seeing senses to...observe a strange play-out that was differently unusual at the time; it involved a small fainted essence of something that was decease...or was not so decease at all.

"No...just something...'interesting'...I remember seeing from a world similar to yours, but with a different outcome." Grimmore spoke off from lifting his hand from his chin about what he saw from the EQG Universe, made him show a sly...grin from becoming interested in what may come about someday soon.

"Different outcome? Of what?" Midnight Sparkle raised an eyebrow in being curious of what she has heard, what does that mean?

"You will learn in time...for now..." Grimmore issued forth in stating this to the girl that such answers will come another time, as of right now however.... "The games are only just beginning..." He clutch his hands together to issue this forth, that for Grimmore, the games between sides of good & evil, are only just beginning even now...

Soon the scene darkens with the voice of the Demon God laughing maniacally, as for Midnight Sparkle, she showed her usual expressed motion; she was still a wild spirit, but in the service of evil. The events of what she may play out are all still wrapped in shadows….

Author’s note
And done! Phew, glad to see this story has come to an end! Had a few surprise long stretches in the field, but we somehow managed to work around them. Until then, now this story is done, & we hope you all enjoyed it! Until next time, read, review and suggest!

 

The scene with Twilight’s new car is a reference to the Back to the Future films. Considering that day is now Future Day (when Marty and Doc Brown arrived from 1985), it’s well suited.
