Canterlot was all but silent, as the re-construction of the aged city was under way. The inhabitants had all received word that it was finally safe to return back to their home…But the home they returned back to was in a state that neither could ever believe. Entire buildings had crumbled, homes, businesses, everything had been unable to escape the hell of the Dalek conquests, fires had arisen in the night, and were just being put out, and entire streets were littered crevices indicating heavy fire that had rained down upon it, and the destroyed remnants of these strange things that all stood scattered in different points around the battle-ravaged streets.

Within Canterlot Castle, Luna sat by herself in her sister’s bedroom, one of the only rooms within the entire castle that had not suffered too badly of a beating from the Dalek assault.
She kept her head low, her eyes being the only things of her face that looked up towards Celestia’s motionless form, as it lay on the bed, still grasping ahold of her sword that had indeed seen conflict like no other.
She stood up, looking her head up, staring down at her sister’s lifeless body.
There was a gentle knock at the door, behind her. She turned her head, and looked it to the side, her eyes not being able to sever their connection with her sister. The door opened, and a Mare trotted inside the room, approaching the Princess.
‘’Your Highness, you are requested by the construction officers to overlook several details concerning the re-building process.’’ She said. Luna nodded her head, gently, back.
‘’Y-yes…Of course.’’ Luna said, her voice breaking up, as she tried to regain her composure – At this, the Mare shot her a concerned stare. She gave a gentle cough, covering her mouth with her hoof. She stood herself back up, and turned herself around to face the guard. She procured a slight smile. ‘’Let’s be on our way, then, shan’t we?’’ She asked, chipper. Procuring a smile of her own, the guard nodded, she turned, and headed out the door. But Luna, she turned her head, and the moment she did so, her smile vanished. ‘’I’m sorry, sister…I know that even in death you were watching me, and…and what I was about to do onboard the Dalek Command Ship, to the last Dalek in existence…’’ She spoke, softly. ‘’I only hope that you can forgive me, and not condemn me for my feelings…Even though I was in the wrong.’’ She bowed her head, wiping a tear from her chin. ‘’Sleep, sister…Sleep, for the entirety of eternity is your bed, now and forever.’’ The last Alicorn said, casting one final glance upon her deceased sibling. She turned her back to her, and trotted out the door, meeting up with the Mare, whom had been waiting outside the door, and trotted down the hallway with her.
The lifeless form of Celestia remained still on the bed, as it continued to grasp the sword with it’s hooves, holding it tight in it’s embrace. Slowly, out of her body’s inability to keep her mouth closed, as all control seemed to be drifting away, or severed from her dying body, her mouth opened, hanging open.
Underneath her skin, gentle streaks of light moved, slightly, throughout her body. Gently, golden dust started to drift up out of her mouth, floating up into the air.
*Tap Tap* *Tap* *Tap Tap* *Tap* *Tap Tap* *Tap*
A rhythmic pattern started to beat within her dead mind, getting louder and louder, building itself more and more in intensity. Through the surface of her head, and front hooves, beams of light started to shine forth, growing brighter and brighter, as the light generated from, was sent forth, falling upon the walls, the floor, and the ceiling of the funeral room for Celestia’s body.
A separate piece of golden light moved up through the cracks in her horn, causing a momentary glow to burst from the tip.

Down in the lower, more damaged hallways of Canterlot Castle, a small group of guards, and regular Ponies were cleaning it up, gathering up large chunks of broken stone, throwing them into large containers that they were being stored inside, before being moved to another location where they would remain until a use for them was thought up.
A guard was using his magic to pick up one of the large ruined stones fragments…When he, suddenly, felt something on his face, the strange nuisance was for a moment painful, as it put a little strain on his eyes. He nodded his head out of the way, but still, he felt the light on his eyes…Wait! Light?
His head shot up, looking out in front of him. Outside the cracked wall, far into the distance, creeping up over the horizon…were bright and warm beams of light…Sunlight. His jaw dropped, hanging open, as he stuttered trying to respond what his eyes were refusing to believe, and yet…there it was.
Like a bright and powerful burst of light in the dark, the sun’s beams shone down upon the world, banishing the darkness of the night, paving the way for the new dawn. He turned, looking down the hallway, his mind battling to push back the thoughts that were being generated from his eyes.
‘’She can’t be…’’ He said in denial. His eyes shot open, wide, as they looked back out towards the sun, which had half of it’s form past the horizon, it’s growing ever brighter.
With a quick shift of his body, he turned around, and galloped down the hallway. Galloping with all speed.
In another section of the repairs of the castle, Luna’s eyes stared outwards, her jaw hanging open, as she looked out, feeling the warmth of the sun’s light upon her face. She shook her head in denial, but upon her face, a smile was forming, as tears of joy streamed down the surface of her cheeks. Ignoring the words of her Ponies, she turned, and instantly, started galloping down the hallway, hurrying with all speed back towards her sister’s temporary resting place.

Back inside the room. The glow that now enveloped the entirety of Celestia’s body now glowed with the brightness of one of the stars, high upon the sky. Calm, golden flames started to come into existence on her body, flaring brightly, as they banished any darkness that seemed to get close to her. Even on her head, the golden flames were most active.
Luna rounded a corner, hurrying forward…
The flames started to stretch outwards from her hooves, almost reaching out.
Panting from heavy exhaustion, but she refused to stop for anything, galloping past guards, common, hurrying with all haste back towards the room where her sister was…
From the outside, Ponies who had managed to catch sight of the constantly building golden lights that were coming from Princess Celestia’s room, were all gathering to look up towards it, wondering just what was happening inside the room with the Princess’s deceased form resting there.
Taking to using her wings, Luna jumped up into the air, using her wings to great use, as it surpassed her normal running speed by tenfold.
Using her flight worked greatly, as shortly after taking up their use, she could see the door to the room where her sister was kept. A relentless onslaught of golden light was shining out from inside it. A seconds more, and then she would have reached it.
Outside the room’s walls, the sun was also almost past the horizon, as it had been rising steadily with everything that had been going on…Just a little bit more, now.
Like a powerful explosion within her body, her eye shot open wide, her dropped the sword onto the floor, as she, suddenly, sat herself up-right, extending her hooves out, and shooting her head up, the golden flames that erupted forth from her body into a violent inferno, sending the flames flaring out with a high intensity.
Just then, in that moment, the sun finally passed by the horizon, it’s entire full form being revealed, fully. Ponies turned, directing their attention towards the restored sun, while others focused on the glow from inside the room.
In that same moment, a powerful shockwave erupted forth from Celestia’s body. Also in that moment, Luna landed, putting her hooves against the floor.
She stood in the open frame of the door. Her newfound happiness, turned into absolute shock, as she witnessed the scene unfolding inside the room, seeing only a figure wrapped in golden light and flames. She only managed to utter a loud gasp, as her eyes widened in pure shock.
The only thing that seemed to snap her out of her petrified state, was the powerful explosion that shot forth that powerful shockwave towards her. With great speed, it reached her.
Outside the Castle, the ground shook, shaking all of Canterlot. The shockwave passed through the walls, passing over everything and everyone. Dust, and debris were all grabbed by it’s intense grasp, and pulled it along with it, as shot outwards, moving through every nook and cranny of the ancient city. The powerful storm passed down the mountainside.
High above, the skies darkened, as a terrible voice screeched, loudly. Out through one of Canterlot’s rooftops, a beam of blue light shot up into the sky, causing a bright whirlwind to erupt forth upon impact with the clouds – The stone bricks collapsed, falling down onto the ground, hitting the floors, but some were deflected directly away from hitting a certain spot.
Ponies, taken aback by all of this with great fear, all bundled together, as they observed the events that were unfolding before their very eyes. All of Canterlot shook with a terrible force. A few of Canterlot Castle’s towers collapsed, coming crumbling down as their foundations gave away, crashing down upon whatever was underneath. Red bolts of lightning traversed the skies, as the winds shot through Cantelot, passing through the Ponies’ fur, sending a chill running through them.
The violent blue beam that shot up into the sky, started to crackle, loudly. It died down, vanishing away, leaving nothing but the bad, unexplained weather that now ravaged all of Canterlot, and a little of the nearby, surrounding populated areas around it, on the mountain peaks.
Calming itself down, the winds slowed to a mere breeze, the dark clouds grew lighter, returning to the shade of white, and the violent shaking that ravaged the city, stopped.

Opening her eyes back up, Luke looked out in front of her at what awaited her, the magic aura that surrounded her horn, died down, causing the magical barrier that surrounded her to retract itself back down into the floor, before vanishing away.
‘’Whoa!’’ She said in awe, her eyebrows raising, as she laid eyes on the condition of the room that Celestia’s body had been kept. It was in a state of complete and utter mess, the entire room looked like a powerful energy blast had shot down into it. The walls were blown out, the glass had been shattered, and the bed was in tatters, scattered around the room.
Down below, underneath the destroyed room, Ponies looked up towards it, creeping closer to each other, staring up as holed each other, their fear blown to a much bigger level when the strange glow had shot through the sky.
In the center of the ruined space, Luna gasped, her jaw dropping, as she shot an amazed glance towards the only thing in the room that seemed to be unscathed from the whole occurrence. Her jaw still dropped, she, slowly, trotted inside the room. Unable to take her eyes off the figure that stood before her.
Swallowing down, she opened her mouth, her eyes popped out of her head, looking down, looking at the figure’s face, it’s legs, before returning her stare back up towards it’s face, as she reached it. Stopping in place, and just shooting up a heartfelt smile, as a tear ran down her cheek as the reality of her situation became reality…
‘’Hello, Luna.’’ Celestia’s soft voice, spoke in a gentle, motherly tone, as she smiled warmly, back towards her younger sibling.
Without another moment’s hesitation, feeling much joy flow through her body, she leaped forward, wrapping her hooves around Celestia’s body, hugging her sister, tightly, embracing her like she had never done before.
‘’Oh, Celestia…’’ Luna sobbed, her voice breaking, as she hugged her restored older sister.
Suddenly, behind them, several of the last remaining stone bricks, crumbled apart, causing a large chunk of it to disappear behind them. The two of them turned, but a large dust collection of dust and broken stone drifted upwards, forcing the two siblings to leap out, just making it out before the dust took up the last remaining space. When they became airborne, they unfolded their wings, and caught the wind, and drifted down through the air. The group of Ponies gathered, looked up, catching the sight of the two Alicorns flying above them. Celestia and Luna floated down through the air until they reached a small platforming. They landed atop it, planting their hooves firmly on the ground.
Luna, out of sheer happiness, raised her hoof, holding it out, and speaking loudly with an overjoyed voice.
‘’Ponies of Canterlot, may I present to you, the Return of Princess Celestia!’’ She called out. Celestia’s mouth dropped, hanging open, as her sister’s announcement was greeted by a loud explosion of cheer and praise from their subjects. Many called out with joy filled shouts, some Ponies even cried as they laid eyes upon her. Acting happier about her than usual. The strange thing that stuck out to her, though, was that she did not know why they were acting this way.
Watching from a ruined balcony, a tall, hooded figure watched the ongoing cheering of the Ponies, below. From behind it’s hood, it’s eyes glared down towards the platform that Celestia and Luna stood atop. It glared, malevolently, as it brought it’s arms up, crossing them.
‘You may have won today, Princess Celestia…but my vengeance will be satisfied, some time or another.’ It thought to itself. At the bottom of it’s cloak, a tail moved out, wriggling a little, around on the floor.
Down underneath the balcony, the Ponies continued to cheer in a seemingly never-ending onslaught of sound. This only angered the figure more, as it glared angrily towards the stand where the two Princesses stood.
