All the people were alive, and went on with their normal lives as if nothing had happened-- they didn’t remember anything, just like when Trigon was beaten. The same applied to all the other creatures across the universe, as well as the ponies in Equestria.

Only the heroes retained any and all memories of the events that occurred.

Although the heroes did have cause to celebrate, the joyous happiness did not last long.

“Beast Boy…?” Terra cried.

He was no longer in his dragon form, and he no longer had his dark powers, but he lay on the ground, still badly injured from the battle. He was all scratched, bruised, and had bite-marks all over him, and instead of red-blood, he was bleeding a black substance-- liquid darkness!

He hardly had enough strength to keep his eyes open.

“Beast Boy, just take it easy. Let me help you.”

Beast Boy could not believe what he had just heard, and he also saw the others huddled around him, all with a willingness to help as well. “How can… you still show me… kindness?” he asked wearily “How can… you let me off so easy? I… I tried to kill you all. I did… so many horrible things. Even I… wouldn’t… forgive me!”

“Just stop.” Terra said calmly, “Don’t think about that anymore.”

No one could ever deny or forget the horrible things Beast Boy did, especially Cadance, for the way he killed her daughter; even though she was now alive and waiting for her back in Equestria. She couldn’t’ find in her heart anymore to call Beast Boy out on it.

“Friend, you have you been through so much.” said Starfire “You were driven to insanity and anger because of our behaviours towards you. Anything you have done is equally our doing as well.”

The other Titans all looked and nodded honestly, and Twilight and the ponies felt touched by the honesty and friendship they were all showing. “Beast Boy…” Twilight said “They really want to make it up with you, and I know that you want to as well.”

Beast Boy, breathing softly and unsteadily looked up at his friends and Terra, and smiled sadly.

Terra smiled down at him, with tears in her eyes, “Beast Boy, I’m with you now, and I want to be with you.” she paused “You were right all along; I can’t fight it. I know that now…

…We can put this all behind us. We can move on with our lives.”

Beast Boy felt like crying himself now, feeling very touched by what she had said. “I’ve waited to hear that… for a long time.” he said, but then he sadly shook his head telling her “But it’s… too late, now. I can’t… give you… that.”

Is body began to look a little pale, and not through just plain ordinary sickness. “What’s happening to him?” Elasti-girl asked with worry.

“Oh, no…!” said Copione “I was afraid this would happen. The image created by the darkness is beginning to break up.”

“What?” cried Terra.

“You mean… he’s… dying?” Rarity asked in shock.

Copione bit his lower lip, feeling really ashamed, but there was no other way to explain it, “With the Dark Prognostics gone, he can no longer supply his body with the life-force he needs, and even so, his injuries are far too severe. Even had we still possessed our light powers, I am sorry…” he paused and regretfully shook his head “…There is nothing that can be done for him.”

“No…” Terra sobbed softly. She felt her heart being stuck by a burning knife. The others all felt the same, even the ponies. They couldn’t stand to see hope for two lovers ending in tragedy, which would only add to the much tragedy they already had suffered.

“You knew this would happen?” Mento asked almost sternly. “I did not, I only guessed.” replied Copione “I did not wish this to happen.”

“Your majesties…?” Twilight sobbed softly at the royal sisters, but Luna shook her head, “There is nothing we can do.” she cried softly. “Even if we could heal his wounds, we can never replenish his life force.” said Celestia.

Twilight didn’t want to believe this, and would have given all the magic she could to at least try and help, but Beast Boy’s were too strange to her, and even she knew that she couldn’t replenish him. The dark power he needed to exist was gone, and it was beyond anything she knew.

“Perhaps…” Beast Boy groaned “…Perhaps it’s better this way.”

“No, don’t say that!” cried Terra.

Beast Boy shook his head, “Terra, I… I understand… how you felt, when you didn’t… wish to comeback. You… couldn’t face yourself, not after what you did.

…I don’t think… I face… what I’ve done either.”

Terra only looked down at him with such sadness, and her tears were falling harder and faster.

Then, like magic, she felt herself slipping into a small illusion…

There they stood, in a stark realm of nothing but pure white light that illuminated them, and Beast Boy began to sing to her as images of all that transpired happened, but it was way of saying he loved her!

(2:00 of the vid)

Knowing she was alive, and that she truly loved him, and was willing to forgive him for all he had done… that gave him all he needed to go in peace.

By the end of the song, he looked really bad, and very pale. He was going to go any second.

Terra’s tears were falling like pebbles, even splashing on his bruised face, “Beast Boy…!” she sobbed “Please, don’t leave me again!”

Beast Boy spoke so softly, he could barely be heard, “The… choice……………… isn’t…………… mine……………… Terra…!

…I……. Love……………You!”

Terra couldn’t help herself, and she leaned down and placed her lips over his, tenderly and gently, not like from their battle before.

Everyone thought it was so sweet, but the girls and the ponies had tears in their eyes for such a heartbreaking moment.

The second Terra pulled off of him, Beast Boy’s body began to vaporize into little tiny bits of darkness that faded into nothingness, leaving behind only what was left his tattered outfit.

She clutched the tattered remains ever so tightly to herself, and shut her eyes really tightly letting her tears fall. She was so hurt and upset, she couldn’t make a sound.

Robin, devastated, bravely held Starfire, who was weeping softly.

Raven was quivering trying to fight her sadness back, “I’m not gonna cry! I’m not gonna cry! I’m not--” she stopped when Cyborg just cut in, shaking his head at her telling her to let it loose, and he then held her close as Raven began to weep very softly in his arms.

“Garfield!” Elasti-Girl wept as she fell to her knees. Her husband caught her and held her tight, but his insides were aching.

All the ponies were crushed! Again, they could never deny the horrible things that were done, but after all that had happened; they knew Beast Boy didn’t deserve to go, and Terra didn’t deserve to lose him all over again.

Twilight was especially upset, because it meant that the friendship could never reignite, never be reconciled, almost as if it had failed.

“Couldn’t we just have just frozen him or something?” Pinkie asked. Applejack shook her head, “It wouldn’t have helped.”

The next day, the gang all got together and finished what the Titans and the Doom Patrol initially planned. They had buried Beast Boy’s original body, which had been restored, still frozen and dead in the capsule.

Terra even added the last of Count Logan’s tattered outfit into the box.

The box was buried in a cemetery, deep within town. The Titans, the Doom Patrol, and the ponies, even Copione and Terra; all just stood around the special monument stone Cyborg had made.

No one said anything, not even delivering a service. It was too painful for any of them to come up with anything to say. He was dead, and in many ways it was really all of them who killed him, and anything they wanted to say, be it an apology or an “I would miss you” would only hurt them more.

The ponies still felt horrible that a friend had died, and in some ways, they, too, played a role in what happened. Not directly of course, but the two tomes originated in their world three-thousand years ago, so in many ways, the Equestrian world was slightly responsible too.

Not that it mattered. Nothing said or done would bring Beast Boy back. Terra knew this, and she had to accept it, and she promised from that day forth to fight in her love’s honor.

The next day after that, Robin helped the ponies use a map to locate Canterlot High, where the portal back to Equestria was.

“I know I need not ask, but… Must you return?” Starfire asked.

“Sadly, we must.” replied Celestia “Equestria needs us… but we shall never forget all of you, dear friends.”

They all exchanged goodbye hugs, and hand to hoofshakes. Though Pinkie hugged everyone extra tight, “I’ll never forget you guys!” she sobbed “Say you’ll come and visit us someday!”

“Okay… okay… we will!” groaned Robin, and Pinkie let him and the others go.

Robin then gave Twilight a special Titans-Communicator. “I know it probably won’t work across dimensions, but if you’re ever in town again and you need us, you know who to call.”

Twilight smiled, and kissed his cheek, much to the playful irk of Starfire.

The Doom Patrol decided to leave as well. “It’s been a pleasure serving with you all.” said Mento. “We’ll miss Garfield a lot…” said Elasti-girl “But now we’re going to fight in his memory.” Robot-Man and Negative Man nodded in agreement.

“I, too, must be going.” said Copione “With my starship repaired, I must return to Psyconia at once. I wish to see my parents again, and I will have many stories to tell to them and my people.”

The Titans all looked a bit down, but he could already sense what they were thinking, even without his foresight, “Fear not. One day I shall return. I owe you all such a great debt.”

“Well, in that case…” Robin said, and he tossed him another communicator, dubbing him an honorary Titan. Copione shook Robin’s hand, hugged Starfire, and gave Cyborg a bro-fist, and then he stopped at Raven. She looked rather sad that he had to leave, “I… um…” she stammered trying to think of words to say, and he acted just as bashful.

Cadance could see this was her calling to act, and so she gave them both a little blast form her horn, which made the two magically heart halves appear, and join together making them both realize and admit their feelings for one another, and they shared a kiss in front of everyone.

“Aww…!” some of the ponies cried, and Twilight cast a naughty look at her sister-in-law. “Well, what could I do?” Cadance said.

With all said and done, the ponies huddled around Celestia, and she used her magic to teleport herself and her team across the skies like a ray of light, bound for the portal. The Doom Patrol took off in their ship, and Copione’s starship rocketed into the skies and zoomed across the cosmos.

Soon, the Titans all headed inside, they now had to rebuild Terra’s bedroom now that she was a permanent teammate. Soon, it was exactly how it was before. “It looks just like I never left.” She said “Thanks, you guys.”

“It is the least can do for you, friend.” said Starfire.

“It’ll be awesome havin’ you back.” added Cyborg.

“Yeah, sure…” agreed Raven. She wasn’t pretending to be sarcastic, she really meant it, and Terra smiled.

Then the alarms went off. There was trouble in town. “Ready?” Robin asked Terra, and Terra snapped on her goggles, “Ready!”

“Titans, Go!”

The Titans dashed out of Terra’s room and down the hall, but along the way, Terra stopped at the open door that lead to what was once Beast Boy’s room. The entire room had been cleaned, cleared of all the trash, and was left with all the furniture covered in cloths. Even though they knew Beast Boy would never come back, the room was to be kept available to anyone who needed it, as a spare room.

“Terra, come on!” Robin called to her.

“Coming…!”

Once the ponies were back in Equestria, Celestia immediately held a wonderful dinner party for the entire group. Spike, Discord, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart were there too.

Cadance couldn’t stop cuddling and smothering her baby. “Ooh, I missed you so much! Yes I did! Yes I did!” she cooed, and Flurry cooed and giggled. “Whoa! I’ve never seen you this affectionate before.” said Shining Armor.

“Yeah, um, remind me again of what we’re celebrating?” asked Discord “I don’t know what kinda tux I should wear.” and he snapped his fingers trying on an assortment of tuxedos.

Pinkie tried to say, “Oh, well, the world was ending and--” but Applejack and Rarity hushed her. “Uh… we’re celebrating our… return… from our… business trip. Yeah that’s it.” said Twilight.

Spike felt confused, “Funny, I don’t remember any trip, or I would’ve gone with you. Either that or I was really tired. I must’ve slept through the whole thing.”

“Yeah… that’s what happened.” Rainbow said, trying not to spill the beans that he like all Equestrians had just come back from the dead.

Twilight was still very happy that Spike, her brother, her niece, and everyone else was alive and well, but it was solemnly sworn amongst the heroes never to tell anyone of what happened. It was so horrifying to remember, and would put everyone at unease.

Twilight gazed down at the communicator she had with mer. “Hey, Twily, where’d you get that?” her brother asked. “Oh… this…? Uh… well… it’s just a souvenir from my trip. You know me, always taking home souvenirs.”

Her brother felt she wasn’t telling him something, and before he could try to question her, Fluttershy suddenly cut in snapping “A TOAST…!!” she then cleared her throat “Um… I mean… a toast… to good friends.”

Everypony else raised their glasses, and Shining Armor didn’t bother question again.

Long after Dinner, when every-pony else had gone home, Twilight remained in Canterlot for a while. Spike was already fast asleep in bed, and he couldn’t hear a thing, while Twilight stood out on a terrace and looked up at the night sky.

Celestia and Luna came to join her. “Are you alright?” Luna asked.

“I was just looking up at the stars, and wondering…” she paused “… I was wondering if Beast Boy is happy… wherever he is.”

The sisters wondered the same thing, and still found it amazing that they were caring about him though they never got to know him too well, not as Count Logan, but just himself. “I hope that he is too.” said Celestia “And I also hope that our friends are coping with it as well.”

At that precise moment, in the human world, the Titans were already visiting Beast Boy’s monument, and Terra laid a huge set of flowers on the stone, while Celestia continued to speak.

“There are many things that Friendship is capable of, but there are some things it just can’t fix or help. Fate is never always carved in stone. Sometimes, things can unexpectedly happen that can change the way we feel and live, and how we view things.

Whatever it is that happens may there always be hope to guide you; for better or for worse.”

The Titans all stared grimly down at the stone, especially Terra, which they would promise to visit as often as possible for their lost friend.

(Credits Roll)

I decided to cancel the Alternate ending (It would involve BB living, but still running out on everyone not wanting a thing to do with them... too harsh for this one)

Now let's see...

-Killed Beast boy for even THINKING of letting Terra go and moving on with his life. (Check)
-Beaten up the Titans for having it so much better than BB ever will have in my view (Check)
-Thrashing Terra around for her foolish actions and behavior on Things Change (Check)
-Giving the MLPs a good beating for all the discomfort they bring me (Check)
-Torturing Princess Cadance... (Double-check) Heh-Heh-Heh...!!
-Show my bullies and haters, they can't push me around and tell me what I CAN and CANNOT write about (STAMPED IT)

Well... that was fun. Some angry steam well blown so I could sleep a little easier.

So, until the next time I need to bash the Titans and the ponies in an act of discomfort (Preferably the ponies)
