It had been a full day since the battle had taken place in Canterlot City, a whole day to mark the end of the war that had plagued the city and its people, thanks in no small part to a group of individuals.

Sunset’s friends had come over to see if she was alright, and for a minute, Sombra wondered if she would be, having slept for almost a full twenty-four hours. However, all fears were forgotten when Sunset did wake, and when she did, she woke up ravenous. Celestia, Fluttershy, and Pinkie, went into the kitchen to whip up something for all of them.

When the food was finally ready, Sunset, the one with the Witchblade, had been seated at the head of the table and without further delay, dug in. It was a sight to watch, Sunset was wolfing down food like there was no tomorrow, and rightly so considering all the fighting she did.

“Sis, you better be careful, or you’ll bite your own finger off.”

“I’m starving! Just make sure I don’t!” Sunset replied.

“Yeah, no, if we try, I’m pretty sure you’ll accidentally bite one of our fingers off,” Rainbow commented.

“Ah think she’s earned the right to stuff herself silly, just eat up Sunset – er – Shimmer,” said Applejack.

“Yeah, about that,” the “younger” Sunset spoke up, “I decided to go with something else. I don’t think it’s fair that Sis just gets to be called by our last name. So, from now on, I’ll go by Sun and Sis will be Sunset again.”

Sunset gulped down a swig of water and said, “You don’t have to do that, I told you, you were here first so you get to have the first name.”

Sun wagged her finger. “Nope, that’s how it is, I’m putting my foot down on this.”

Rarity cleared her throat a bit and added, “It does make it a bit easier when speaking with both of you in the same room, if you don’t mind me saying.”

“I’m with Sun on this one, you don’t have to take away your first name, it’s your name too, you should be called by it by your friends, and your girlfriend,” said Pinkie.

Sunset looked around the table and sighed. “Alright, so long as you’re cool with it, Sun, then I am.” It was then that Sunset noticed that Sombra wasn’t in attendance. “Hey, where’s Sombra at?”

Celestia paused in her bite and said, “I believe he was sitting in the living room. Why?”

“I just thought he'd join us.” Sunset noticed the awkward looks she was getting for suggesting that. “Look, I know he did a lot of crappy things, really crappy things. But most of that was the Darkness’ influence, and he helped us defeat Neighsay in the end.”

“The guy’s still a criminal, a gangster,” said Rainbow.

“Rainbow, it doesn’t do any good to hold onto a grudge. Forgiveness is the way,” said Fluttershy. “Yes, he’s done a lot of bad, but when it came down to it, he did the right thing in helping us all. It doesn’t erase what he did, but it’s a step in the right direction.”

“I’m with Fluttershy on this one, plus, if you guys thought I was a lost cause after Princess Twilight left, I doubt we’d be having this conversation,” Sunset stated.

A round of nods was seen all around, it was hard to argue with such facts. Sunset got up from the table and went into the living room, there she found Sombra lounging on the sofa while the TV was on, the news was reporting on yesterday’s events while replaying footage that was either shot by news cameras or from people who were just close enough to film it but not enough to get caught in the crossfire. Sunset saw the plate of food on the coffee table, along with a beer bottle that Celestia had procured for him upon his request.

Sombra glanced to his left and grinned. “How ya doin’ kid?”

“Better now that I’ve got some food in me,” said Sunset.

“Glad to hear that.”

“So, why are you in here?”

Sombra raised an eyebrow at that question. “Figured you’d want some time with your friends and family in there, ‘sides, you don’t need someone like me darkening up your celebration.”

Sunset rolled her eyes and walked over until she was standing next to Sombra. “You have just as much right to celebrate as we do, this victory is all of ours, and you helped with that. Now c’mon and sit with us, or I can whip out my armor and drag your ass in there by chains.”

Sombra chuckled. “Kinky, kid…but…a’ight”.

The gangster grabbed his plate and beer and followed Sunset into the dining room. The room went quiet when she returned with Sombra, all eyes were on him as he took a seat at the other end of the table while Sunset returned to hers.

“Heh…hey, uh…wow this is awkward…” Sombra stated as he rubbed the back of his head. “I just want to say, sorry for all the shit I put ya through, ‘specially you Celestia, Sunset.”

Eyes shifted back to the two women in question. Celestia sighed and turned her gaze upon the man who was had made their lives hectic for the past few weeks. “One of my students here said that holding onto a grudge doesn’t help anyone, that forgiveness is way. I won’t pretend to know what else you’ve gone through before coming to Canterlot City, but I will say, that today, I will consider you good company.”

Sombra was honestly shocked to hear that from Celestia, considering that he kidnapped her, her sister, and Sunset, threatened them, and stabbed her, effectively killing her.

“You already know my position, so for now, guys, let’s just be happy to be alive and enjoy a meal,” said Sunset.

Sighs of resignation along with smiles were seen on the Canterlot Five, along with Sun. Once the ice was broken, everyone started to go into conversation, some of them were just about what was going to happen after all this, others about the fight itself and about Sunset’s newest transformation. All the while, Sombra couldn’t help but feel…at peace, for once. There were no jobs that needed doing, no plans to be made, just a meal with some…friends? Well, friends may’ve been stretching it, but it was good company at least.

“You know, Spring Break will be coming soon. And, after all this, I think we’re all due for some relaxation. So, I was wondering, if you guys can get it cleared with your folks – and if I can get it cleared with Twi’s parents – I was thinking that we can all head to the beach together. What do you think?” Sun asked.

The others blinked, including Celestia.

“Um…just to be clear, darling, you’re saying you’re willing to pay for a vacation, for all of us?” Rarity asked.

“Yep.”

“Like, plane tickets, hotel, the whole thing?!” Rainbow asked.

Sun scoffed. “What are these ‘plane tickets’ you speak of? We’re taking my private plane, and to a little private resort, all on me!”

Everyone’s jaw dropped, with Sombra whistling impressively at hearing how Sun was able to flaunt her money.

“W-We couldn’t possibly make you do that!” Fluttershy stated. “W-We know you’re rich, but you don’t have to spend your money on us like that.”

Sun shook her head. “You guys aren’t ‘making’ me do anything. I want to take you all on a vacation, and I want to take Sparky on one too. God knows she deserves one after all the crap she’s been put through.”

“Well…that sounds great, but just be sure you all are safe when you go, I know you two have the Witchblade and Ember Stone, and magic, but that doesn’t mean you can take risks,” said Celestia.

Sun glanced to her with confusion. “What do you mean? You’re going too, and your sister.”

Celestia looked at Sun in shock.

Sombra was in enjoying this banter, but he couldn’t help but notice that someone was missing. “Hey, what happened to that Cajun gal who was here?”

“Oh, um, Sister Meadowbrook had to talk to the Vatican about what happened with Neighsay. There’s obviously going to be a lot of questions once the news figures out who he was before he became that powerful thing. Giving them a briefing on the events that occurred here will help them when the media eventually come to their doorstep,” Fluttershy explained.

Applejack crossed her arms and scowled a bit. “Sounds like they wanna find a way to cover up what actually happened.”

“Can’t really say I didn’t see this comin’. Guy that high up in the Church is gonna cause a scandal.” Sombra leaned forward as a question popped into his head. “On that note, what are we going to do with the Prism and Siphon?”

Silence filled the room for a moment, it was the elephant that hadn’t been addressed yet. Currently, the Prism and the Siphon were resting in Sunset’s room, but the ultimate question was where were they going to be housed from now?

“Personally, I say we take them out into the middle of the ocean, tie some weights on them, and then throw them overboard in the deepest part we can find,” Rainbow suggested.

“We could send them up on a rocket and shoot them into deep space! Do you think you could make that happen, Sun?” Pinkie asked.

“I’m rich, but not that rich Pinks.”

“Oh…” Pinkie pursed her lips as she thought about it for a moment. “Oh! What about Equestria?! Sunny, you cloud ask Princess Twilight and see if she can hide them there!”

Sombra blinked in confusion. “Uh, I’m sorry, Eques what now?”

“It’s a parallel dimension where there are doubles of us, but they are sapient, magical pony creatures,” Rarity explained.

Sunset thought about it for a moment, true, hiding the Siphon and Prism in Equestria would prevent them from falling into the wrong hands, no one could get to them from this world if they were hidden in another world. However… “It would be a good hiding place, the only problem is…while Equestria does have magic and those who can use it for good, there are those who can also use it for bad. Princess Twilight has had to repel different threats from time to time, and I really don’t want to think about what could happen if just one pony or creature, or whatever, gets ahold of the Prism of Siphon, it’ll be worse for us here and there.”

Those who did understand what that implied shuttered, the Canterlot Five did not want to imagine what would happen some villain that the Princess was fighting somehow managed to find the two Artifacts and use them in the same way that Neighsay did, or heaven forbid, found a way to release them onto that world. A world filled with magic and dark magic alike.

“Well, we really can’t trust them with the Vatican.” Fluttershy spoke up. “I want to believe that not everyone is like Neighsay, the Prism and Siphon were already a temptation, but now they both contain Angelus and the Darkness inside them…”

Sombra crossed his arms next and said, “I definitely don’t want either of ‘em. So, where does that leave us?”

Sun looked around the room and coughed. “Well, why not just keep ‘em here?” Everyone looked towards Sun now. “I got a pretty badass vault down in the basement, my Dad had it built to protect things he treasured, it also acted as a panic room.”

“How strong is it?” Celestia asked.

“Strong enough to withstand a hundred tons of TNT exploding in its face. My Dad didn’t mess around. Plus, I live here, and I got this baby.” Sun pulled out the Ember Stone. “If anyone tries to come here and rob me, I’ll applaud them for having the balls to do it.”

“I here that,” Sombra commented.

“Well…” Sunset thought it over. “I guess it’s better than nothing, plus, I am planning on hanging out around here more often.”

Sun scoffed and moved closer to hook an arm around her “big sister’s” neck, “Pssh, ‘hang out’ nothing, you can live here!”

The dinner continued like that for most of the night, and all the while, Sombra couldn’t help but smile.

Later that night, Sombra had decided that it was time for him to leave. This was their time and there was no need for him to stick around and muck it up. Most of his stuff was at the hideout for the Blood Kings, so he’d have to make a quick trip there to get whatever was left and then leave town. As he walked the halls of Shimmer Manor, and arrived downstairs, Sombra shook his head, not at all surprised to see that Sunset was waiting for him by the front door.

“Figured you’d try to leave,” said Sunset with a smirk.

Sombra stuffed his hands into his pockets and leaned against the railing. “Don’t get me wrong, Sunset. I’m not runnin’ because I’m afraid of goin’ to jail.”

“So why are you?”

Sombra looked up for a second and took a calm breath before exhaling it. “It feels like, for the first time in thirty-one years, I feel free. Ever since the Darkness came into my life, I’ve always felt it there, a shadow, an overbearin’ presence that made you know that it was loomin’ over you. It was stifling, like you were caged in and yet you were free to move about. And now, I don’t feel that anymore. So, I figured I’d go out and do, well, whatever I can while I’m a free man and all. But, I understand, I’m a criminal, I’ve done wrong, so, do what ya gotta do.”

Sunset looked upon Sombra for a long moment, she closed her eyes and breathed in a calming breath of her own. “I’m going to let you go.”

Sombra raised a skeptic eyebrow. “What’s the catch?”

Sunset chuckled. “I just want you promise me one thing.” The flame haired girl walked towards Sombra and stopped a foot away from him and looked him dead in the eye with a narrowed glare and a cocky grin. “I want you to promise me that you won’t get caught, because I’m the one who’s going to bring you in.”

Sombra smirked back at her. “Oh, that a fact?”

“Yeah, no one else, but me.”

“That sounds like somethin’ a cop would say.”

“Yeah, and?”

Sombra removed his hands from his pockets and crossed his arms in front of his chest. “Alright, but in return, you gotta promise me somethin’.”

“And what’s what?” Sunset asked.

“Stay alive, do everythin’ you wanna do. Finish your schoolin’, enjoy your girlfriend, enjoy your life. ‘Cause on the day ya do come for me, I’m not goin’ easy on ya.” Sombra leaned forward and glared at Sunset, his smirk matching Sunset’s. “I’ll fight ya with everything I got, whether or not you have that Witchblade when we meet again, I won’t hold back. Guns blazin’, full fist fight, hell, maybe even a bomb or two. I don’t want ya havin’ any regrets when that day comes, ya get me?”

“Heh, I get you. And that’s good, I didn’t want it to be too easy,” Sunset shot back.

Sombra uncrossed his arms and held out his right hand towards Sunset. The former unicorn met his hand with her own and shook it, a promise had been made between the hero and the criminal, one of mutual respect and a bit of competitiveness.

“Guess I’ll get to enjoy my freedom for a few more years,” said Sombra.

“Yeah, so make ‘em count, because I don’t want to hear you bitch and moan when I take your ass down,” replied Sunset.

“Ooh, this will be fun, kid. I’m actually lookin’ forward to it.”

When they finished their handshake, Sunset moved out of the way and allowed Sombra to walk to the front door. He stopped a minute to look over his shoulder and smiled at the teen.

“That dinner tonight, that was the best meal I’ve had in years. I forgot what it felt like to be a part of a family, or have friends, even if it was for a little while, it was nice.”

With a twist of the knob, Sombra King opened the front door, taking in the crisp cool air of the outside, his first real breath as a free man. He gave Sunset a thumbs up before closing the door behind him, and just like the shadows in the light of day, he vanished from her sight, for now at least.

Two more days had passed since the end of the battle, and the city was still trying to get back on its feet. Downtown had taken a beating from the battle, property damage galore. The Deputy Mare was sworn in already to maintain a working local government, and with that the new mayor’s first act was to arrange a grand funeral for the late Mayor Maria Mare. While preparations were occurring, Sunset had met up with Shining Armor, schools had been cancelled for the week, and with Spring Break coming up, the school districts just decided to start it early and give the kids some extra off time to be with their families, and or to get away from the city for a couple of weeks to unwind.

Shining Armor met up with Sunset at a coffee shop, a place that was out of the way enough that they wouldn’t be seen by anyone within their social circles. The last thing that Shining needed was for his cop friends to start ribbing him about trying to pick up jailbait, although, honestly, Sunset was eighteen already and not jailbait, but still, it wasn’t going to stop them from joking about him leaving Cadence for a younger girl. And for Sunset, mostly because she didn’t want anyone from school to ask why she was seeing some random older guy.

“Thanks for meeting with me Shining,” said Sunset.

“No prob, gotta say though, even with things settling down, it’s still pretty hectic around here,” Shining replied.

Sunset understood what he meant, the Blood Kings had completely disbanded after the incident, there was a void in Canterlot City, and the one thing that Shining and Sunset knew well was that nature abhorred a vacuum, sooner or later, another criminal element was going to fill in that vacuum, and take advantage of the still recovering city.

“Hey, if you guys ever need help with getting things under control…”

“I got your number, but, honestly, I think everyone’s worn out after all this supernatural crap. Hell, I think the criminals are still a bit scared to come out because they think something else is going to happen.”

Sunset shivered. “Oh, please don’t jinx it, Shining. I want to hold off on any more craziness, at least until after Spring Break is over.”

Shining leaned back in his seat and took a sip of his drink. “Oh yeah, Twily told me your ‘sister’ was going to treat you, her, and your friends to a little beach vacation.”

Sunset rubbed the back of her head. “Yeah, I’m just glad that you and your parents allowed her to go.”

“Well, she’s old enough and smart enough to make her own decisions, plus, your sister’s going to be there, along with your friends. And Miss Celestia’s going too, right?”

“And Vice Principal Luna, and really, Celestia – Mom – really deserves it, especially after the funeral this week…” Sunset spoke with lament.

Shining sighed, he had recently found out about the late mayor’s relationship with Celestia, the police detective couldn’t imagine how much Celestia was hurting, but he also couldn’t help but admire her strength for doing what needed to be done during that harrowing time in spite of her grief.

Sunset fidgeted in her seat as she felt a bit skittish about the next subject she was going to bring up. “Soooo…you’re not still pissed at me for letting him go, right…?”

Shining Armor dragged his hand down his face, when Sunset had called and told her that she let Sombra go in the middle of the night, after all he did, he will admit, he did give her a chewing out for that. Considering that she didn’t consult anyone about that, which of course he would’ve said a flat out “NO” if she did, Shining Armor could kind of understand why she did it. Emphasis on kind of.

“A little, I really wish you consulted me and everyone on that, but…I respect your decision.”

“Good, ‘cause, what I wanted to talk to you about is kind of concerning that.”

Shining Armor raised his eyebrow but leaned in and listened intently.

Sunset brought her hands on top of the table, lacing her fingers together as she took a moment to collect her thoughts. “Everything that’s happened to me recently, the Wendigos, the Darkness, the Witchblade, it’s given me some things to think about. When I first came to this world, I hated it.”

“Ouch,” Shining commented.

“Well, how would you feel if you were suddenly thrown into a body that’s completely alien to you, losing the parts of you that have been with you since you were born, and feeling totally confused about a world that you’ve never been in or seen before?” Sunset asked with a grin.

“Good point, continue.’

“I had planned to conquer the high school, and then show up my mentor by stealing a magical artifact and showing her that I can wield it better than her most current protégé. Of course, that backfired spectacularly, and after that…I’ve felt directionless.” Sunset twiddled her thumbs as she released a sad sigh. “I didn’t know what to do here, I was resolute in making this place my new home, but I had no idea what to do here. I’m smart, strong, but what can I do with it? My intelligence, my brawn, and now my partner here.” Sunset raised her right arm up to show off Witchblade.

“Sunset, at your age, not everyone has it figured out. Twily knows what she wants, and I knew what I wanted, but there are just as many people who don’t know what direction they want to take their life in, you’re almost out of high school, and almost into college, some kids don’t figure themselves out until they get into college.”

Sunset put on a deadpan expression. “…Yeah, before I came here, I was originally in my early twenties. For whatever reason, that portal aged me way the hell down. Physically, I’m eighteen, mentally, by now, at least mid to late twenties. I had my life figured out back in Equestria, but here…I didn’t.”

Shining Armor felt bad for Sunset, she really has had to go through a lot here, a new world, a new body, losing her magic, and losing her dream. However, Shining picked up on something in that last bit. “Hang on, you said ‘didn’t’, as in past tense.”

“Yeah, ‘cause I think I know what I want to do with my life here. I like helping people, not because I can play hero, but because I honestly feel good helping them, in here.” Sunset rested her right hand over her heart and smiled at the thought. “I get sad when I think about those I couldn’t save, but I smile when I know I have saved a life. I want to protect this city, and its people, and when called on, the world. So, Shining, I want to join the CCPD, I want to be a cop, more specifically, I want to be a detective.”

Shining Armor blinked, he had to take a moment to process that. There was a strange feeling of pride building inside him, without realizing it, he had come to look upon Sunset as a pseudo little sister. The police detective, leaned back and smirked at the teen before him and asked, “So, you want me to use my connections to help you get a spot on the force with your Witchblade?”

Sunset rolled her eyes playfully. “No, Shining. I want to enroll at the police academy and work my way up. I was just wondering if you could help me get there, or give me some advice on what I need or what I need to do?”

Shining reached out and placed his right hand on Sunsets left and smiled. “Sunset, I would be honored to help you do this. I can tell your heart’s in it, and I’ll do everything I can to see that you’re wearing that uniform.”

“Heh, not just the uniform, I want your job, Detective Armor,” Sunset shot back with a smirk.

“Heh, by then, it’ll be Captain Armor to you, Boot.”

Many had gathered for the funeral service of one, Maria Mare. Canterlot’s longest running, and most decorated female mayor in Canterlot City history. Many came to pay their respects to the woman who did everything she could to lead their city through these harrowing times of supernatural mayhem.

Attending this funeral were many of Canterlot City’s top movers and shakers. Celestia was there, both Sunsets, the Canterlot Five, Twilight, and Luna. Sister Meadowbrook attended as a Nun for the service, various police captains attended as well, including Captain Broadside of Shining Armor’s precinct. Shining Armor, Cadence, and Spearhead were in attendance, but the event was just a little soured when they noticed Principal Abacus Cinch was there, along with her daughter Sunny Flare.

Twilight noticed her classmate and principal right away, but pushed them out of her mind for now, this wasn’t about them, this was about Principal Celestia’s lover. Plus, she had both Sunsets here, along with her new friends to protect her, even Shining Armor and Cadence, so there was no reason to be worried about them.

The service went on with different people coming up and retelling stories of their encounters with Maria, her actions as mayor, how some didn’t agree with her methods or logic, but in the end, they respected the results she was able to turn out for them and the city’s people. Sunset felt bad for Celestia, Maria hadn’t come out to the people, so no one knew she was gay.

Sunset had told Celestia to mention this when it was her turn to speak, but her reply was. “It’s not my place to out Maria, not like this. That was her decision to make, that, and I don’t want anyone smearing her for loving a woman, especially some public-school principal.”

The former unicorn wanted to correct Celestia, she wasn’t just “some public-school principal” she was Maria’s lover, her partner, and people deserved to know that Maria had someone who loved her very much. But she agreed with part of what Celestia said, Maria’s secret was hers to spill, and to out Maria here would disrespect her memory and privacy.

When it came to Celestia’s turn, she made a slow walk up to the podium and spoke. “Maria Mare was a dear friend to me. I knew Maria when I worked on her campaign staff when she first got elected into office. I was captivated by her words and actions, and eventually, I would come to call her a friend. She didn’t want me to be in the limelight with her, mostly because she feared what the press was going to do to me if they found her ‘slumming’ with a school principal.”

The crowd chuckled a little and so did Celestia.

“But…regardless, my time spent with her was some of the happiest times of my life…” Celestia began to choke up. “She loved this city…she loved its people…and…” She loved me. “…she loved being its mayor. So, while we…we mourn her passing…let us also honor Maria Mare, one of Canterlot City’s finest.” Celestia turned to face the closed casket and smiled sadly upon it. “Goodbye, Maria, you’ll live on in our hearts…”

A round of applause were given for Celestia’s words, when she returned to her seat, Sunset and Luna hugged her tight to grant her some comfort. After the service, the funeral proceeded to the graveyard, where Maria Mare was finally put to rest. Minutes passed, and little by little, those who came to the service filtered away until barely a handful remained, chief of among them were Celestia, Luna, the Canterlot Five, Shining Armor, Cadence, Twilight, and both Sunsets.

Another pair that remained were Cinch and Sunny, both kept a respectable distance away from the gravesite and people around it. For Cinch, she saw this as a problem, the goings on at Crystal Prep were mostly kept silent thanks in part to Maria Mare, no one else on her staff knew of the incidents or what she did to sweep them away. However, now that she was dead, the safety net was taken away, which meant that the next time something happened, Cinch would have to make some hard decisions going forward.

For Sunny Flare, she was a bit stunned, she thought her eyes were playing tricks on her when they were at the church, but now she knew she was seeing clearly. There were two Sunset Shimmers, perfectly identical. They wore different outfits and did their hairs differently to distinguish themselves apart, but there was no denying that Sunset Shimmer had a twin. There was only one way she could tell which was which, the one she knew at Crystal Prep always wore a necklace, and she could see it hanging around one of their necks. Sunny was a bit scared at this point, she didn’t know if this twin sister of hers had powers too or was even more dangerous than the other sister. No doubt they kept each other abreast of each other’s lives, which meant that if they wanted to, they could switch at any time and get away with whatever they wanted, a perfect crime was waiting to be committed and the police couldn’t possibly convict because twins are identical down to DNA.

She could sic her twin on us and kill us for what we did to Twilight, and no one would know which one did it! Sunny thought.

“Sunny Flare,” Cinch spoke up.

“Y-Yes, Mother?”

“Our safety net is gone, from this moment forward, I’ll need you to keep tabs on the problem students. We cannot afford any major incidents at the school.”

“B-But you have connections still, you don’t have to worry,” said Sunny.

Cinch glared down at her daughter and made the teen flinch. “Maria Mare was the heart of it all, she was at the highest station in the city, could make things happen that some of my other so-called ‘connections’ can’t make happen. And now, if something happens, like say, Indigo or Sour going off the deep end, we need to snuff that out before it starts a fire.”

“O-Okay…I understand.”

“Good, let’s go, this place depresses me.”

“It’s a graveyard, of course it’s depressing,” Sunny muttered under her breath.

Meanwhile, Celestia believed she had watched over the grave for long enough and decided to head back to the car, Luna offered to take her back, with Shining Armor and Cadence accompanying them. The Sunsets stood at the grave, with their respective girlfriends standing next to them. For Twilight and Pinkie, this was probably their worst fear, to end up like Celestia, to be standing at the grave of the person they were in love with. For a moment, their minds swapped the name “Maria Mare” with “Sunset Shimmer” and imagined themselves giving those eulogies.

Sensing their fear, both Sunsets patted the arms of their lovers.

“Hey, don’t worry, we’re not going anywhere,” said Sunset.

“So long as we stick together, nothing can stop us,” said Sun.

The Canterlot Five joined them, all of them locking hands with each other in a makeshift human chain, reestablishing their bond of friendship and love. Sunset looked down her left and right, etching the faces of those whom she had come to call friends as well as family. She was sure of her life’s direction now, she wanted to be able to continue helping people. Fate had brought her and the Witchblade together for a reason, there may be supernatural enemies out there to do battle with, and there would always be criminals to punish, and so Sunset would continue doing just that, both as a future police detective, and as the wielder of……The Witchblade.
