-PrinceOfDarkness.

A week had passed since she had sung in front of her entire family. She'd felt much stronger and alive than she'd ever been.

She was interrupted when her grandfather mentally summoned her to where he was.

Every angel, as well as Sunset, Zarachiel, Celestia and Luna all stood in the Throne Room in Heaven. God stood in front of them all. He didn't know how to tell all of His children that He and their mother were retiring.

"My children, it is time for me and your mother to retire. Before you ask, we have picked two people to become the new God and Goddess in our stead. That is, if they wish to take our place in Heaven." God said, looking to His wife, Ashera, before he turned to Zarachiel and Celestia.

Zarachiel didn't know what to say. His father was retiring now? But he was God, surely he didn't get tired. He thought it near impossible.

God heard His son's thoughts and gazed at him with a sad smile. "Yes son, I get tired. Every being does. It has come time for me and your mother to retire from being the God and Goddess of this universe. I would like for you and Celestia to take over for us. That is, if you would like to? I will not force you into the role, my son." God said, watching HIs son's expression carefully.

Zarachiel didn't know what to think. He was already a prince in Equestria. he didn't know how he could be the God of everything as well as a prince.

God heard his thoughts and squeezed His son's shoulder comfortingly. "You'll learn what to do. You're smart. You'll figure it out." He said, smiling at his son as Goddess stood next to her husband. She smiled at Celestia, showing she was alright with it. She was happy that Zarachiel had found love. She was also happy that she had a granddaughter. She and Her husband would try and visit from time to time.

Zarachiel clicked his tongue as he thought it through. He'd have to remain in Heaven most of the time, but he would visit Earth or Equestria from time to time. He wanted to make sure they would be stable and functioning.

"Celestia, what do you think about this? I won't do it if you don't want to. I love you more than wanting to become God. I will go wherever you go, my beloved." Zarachiel said, clasping her hands in his own, looking into her eyes.

Celestia was stunned silent, as were the others in the room. They knew that Zarachiel had experience as a prince. They knew that he would be fit for the job.

Amenadiel spoke up. "Brother, if you do become the new God, then you will have my full support." The dark-skinned angel said, nodding to his brother with respect.

"Amenadiel is right, brother. Zarachiel has my full support." Zadkiel said, standing next to Zarachiel, as did Amenadiel.

Lucifer decided to chime in. "Zarachiel has as much experience as I have. We are both rulers and understand how to be one." He said, nodding to Zarachiel.

Zarachiel didn't know what to say. He didn't know if his other brothers and sisters felt the same way.

Jophiel and Remiel spoke up, giving their voices. Soon, Raphael, Sariel, Ariel and Castiel gave their voices to the proposal. They all wanted Zarachiel to rule. He would be a great one.

Zarachiel smiled, he was happy to see that he had the respect and support of his brothers and sisters.

Azrael joined in, as did Gabriel.

"Zarachiel has my vote." The cheerful prankster said, grinning at his older brother. Zarachiel was a good brother. He respected him.

"Zarachiel has my vote, too." Azrael said softly, smiling at her older brother. She had confidence in her older brother leading them.

With most of their siblings on his side, he was leaning towards the idea. He looked to Celestia, who smiled and nodded. She wanted to retire from being a princess. She didn't know if she would be more tired as the Goddess of the universe instead of just a princess.

"My husband has my vote, and I will become the Goddess of this universe with him. Wherever he goes, I will go, too." Celestia said, smiling lovingly at her husband who smiled back.

Zarachiel knew that being God would exponentially give him more power. He knew that he'd become omnipotent and omniscient like his father.

The married couple nodded, earning claps from all the angels. They would do the job together. At least they would get to spend time with Sunset together now instead of having to go between realms or through portals.

God nodded to Zarachiel who nodded back, confirming the job role.

"I'm proud of you son, never forget that." God said, smiling as He looked to His wife.

Ashera smiled at Her son, walking over to him. She hugged him tightly, feeling a tear trickle down Her cheek.

She opened a portal to Her world, an exact clone of Heaven and Earth. She looked to all of Her children and Her granddaughter one last time as she waved goodbye. She walked through the portal, Her husband following.

Zarachiel knew that this would likely be the last time he'd ever see his parents again. It broke a part of him. Yet, he hid it.

God heard His son's thought as He smiled at him. "Don't worry, you'll find a way to connect Heaven and Equestria. You'll figure it out." He said, walking through the portal as it closed behind Him. God would try and visit from time-to-time. He wanted to keep visiting his family whenever he could.

Zarachiel stared at the spot where his parents once stood. He sighed sadly, grieving the loss. Without saying a word, he unfurled his wings as he flew to the thrones. He sat in his as he felt waves of power flow through him. Omniscience and Omnipotence. He now knew everything. Beginning, middle and end.

He smiled at the times Sunset would spend with her mortal friends before they passed from old age. However, there would always be Twilight and Cadance, as well as Flurry Heart.

Celestia flew over to the other throne, receiving the same power that her husband was given.

Zarachiel made his first declaration.

"Hear me now, angels and humans in Heaven. Your God has retired and I have taken His place. I will fix the problems within Heaven. I promise you, that I, your God, will fix the system and fix what my mother and father could not. This I swear to all humans residing in Heaven." Zarachiel promised, snapping his fingers as His declaration came into effect within an instant.

He made a third throne for Sunset, who would recieve His Omnipotence and Omniscience. He wanted her to have as much power as He and her mother did.

The angels cheered, supporting their brother and their sister-in-law.

"Sunset, my daughter. Come forward and take your place at the third throne beneath me and your mother. I want you to have some power over the universe. You care about justice. You will have the power to right wrongs and fix the system alongside me and your mother." Zarachiel said, smiling down at His little fledgling.

Sunset silently walked over to the throne and sat on it, feeling mass waves of power flow into her. Omnipotence and Omniscience. She could see all, just like her parents could. She saw the corruption of Humanity and had the desire to fix it.

Zarachiel knew that even though He was ruler here with His wife, He and Celestia would need to retire as prince and princess of Equestria.

Wordlessly, he opened a portal to Equestria. Sunset, Luna, Celestia and Himself teleported to it. He could do so now because He willed it to happen.

Twilight and the Elements Of Harmony faced Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. They couldn't believe what they had heard.

"Well Twilight, it is time for us to go. We have decided to retire now. We know that you will do good as the princess." Celestia softly spoke, smiling warmly at Twilight.

Sunset decided to make her voice heard as she looked at her friend.

"You'll make an amazing ruler, Twilight. I have faith in you." Sunset said, walking over as she hugged Twilight.

With words shared and tears shed, it was time for them to go.

"Goodbye, Princess." Twilight said, a sad smile on her muzzle as she hugged Celestia for what she felt was the last time.

Soon, the both of them pulled away from the hug.

"Goodbye, Twilight." Celestia said, nodding to the mare.

Zarachiel's eyes glowed as He teleported His family back to Heaven. Before He did so, He nodded at Twilight. She'd earned His respect by defending Sunset and being her friend.

"And that's the story of how I met the elements of Harmony and met beings called angels, Luster Dawn." Twilight said. She looked much older and had grown taller due to becoming an alicorn.

"So, your friendship with Sunset was always there because you kept in touch and never lost faith in each other?" Luster Dawn asked her teacher happily.

Twilight chuckled and nodded, smiling at her student. "Yeah Luster, that's how it happened." She hadn't seen Sunset in years. She wondered how she was.

"But Princess, I still don't understand friendship." Luster admitted, lowering her head with shame.

Twilight looked at her with compassion and warmth. She knew how she could teach her student. The same way Celestia taught her.

"That's alright, because I know exactly where to send you." She said, the Mane Six turning to look at her as they all smiled.

Twilight knew how Luster felt. She felt the same way when she was a little filly. She'd learned about friendship because of her mentor and teacher. Now, she was going to teach her student the same way she learned.

She knew that Luster Dawn would see friendship and see how it worked.

She teleported the both of them to Canterlot, the place where she now lived.

Equestria was full of magic. Their bonds only ever grew stronger and lasted as long as they had known each other.

Pinkie Pie burst out of nowhere, making Luster Dawn jump. However, the pink mare smiled at the older party mare.

Rainbow Dash soared above the light pink unicorn, trying to impress her. However, the got the message across. They would always be there and always supportive of each other.

Twilight sang, teaching her student the value of friendship and remaining friends.

Applejack joined in, singing along with Twilight. Friendship would be passed down for many generations to come.

Rarity joined in with the both of them, teaching Luster about her element. Friendships were full of believing in each other. Faithfulness

Fluttershy added her voice to the song. Fluttershy loved all animals, big and small, regardless of species. Friendships happened naturally and always lasted.

Twilight remembered her past. She grew up thinking that she never needed friends, or friendship for that matter.

Soon, each member of the Mane Six had joined and and had begun to sing. They stood next to each other. Spike joined in with them.

Luster stared in awe at the sight as she heard her mentor and the Elements Of Harmony sing.

Twilight finished the song, drawing it out for as long as she could. She walked over and nuzzled Luster Dawn affectionately. The light pink mare jumped and walked over to her friends as they walked off, leaving the Mane Six and Spike to watch her and Luster's friends leave.

Twilight felt a bittersweet tear roll down her cheek as she waved goodbye to her student.

It had been many millenia for Sunset. She hadn't aged a day. Due to being a nephilim, she was immortal and couldn't die. Most mortal weapons, if not all of them, couldn't hurt her. The bullets would just bounce off and the blades would not harm her, but would damage clothing.

She'd witnessed her friends pass on and die. It broke her heart every time. She wept for them.

Lyra, Bon-Bon, Gilda, Lightning Dust, Octavia, Vinyl Scratch, Adagio, Aria and Sonata. All of them had passed on. The sirens had lived longer than the others. It didn't hurt any less.

They all felt guilty about something and made it her job to help them. She'd eventually helped them all one by one until they absolved their guilt and dealt with it. Doing so brought closure to them.

Eventually, they'd made their way into Heaven.

"Yo, Sunset! Wanna go hang by the forest? After all, it's your home and you live here." Lyra said behind her. The girl looked to be in her early twenties, as did the rest of her friends.

Her uncle Lucifer stayed in Heaven to be with his wife Chloe. He also wanted to be with her cousins Rory, Charlie and Charlotte.

Her aunt Linda had passed on from old age and was in Heaven with Amenadiel and Charlie. The baby had grown up to become an independent young man and she'd watched him grow. She'd supported him as his cousin.

She became a mother herself. She adopted kids who passed away caused by unfair and horrible circumstances. She'd taken them in and raised them as her own. Even though they were in Heaven, they aged until they reached their twenties.

She loved each and every one of them. Sure, they weren't blood related, but they were her kids nonetheless. She'd asked her father if she could make them into angels, and he agreed, as did her mother. She asked her children if that was what they wanted. They agreed to it and they became angels who served alongside their mother and the rest of their family.

"Just coming Lyra. I want to let mom and dad know where I am first. They get worried." Sunset said, giggling as she flew to the royal bedroom, where her parents were.

"Mom, dad, I'm just going to hang out with Lyra and the others for a bit." Sunset said. She knew her parents liked them. They respected her friends for helping her and simply being her friend.

"Sure, kid. Have fun. I'll know where you are, Sunset. You don't need to worry. Be as long as you want until it gets to your namesake." Zarachiel said, giving His daughter permission.

"Thanks dad. Love you guys!" Sunset yelled, running off to be with her friends.

"Love you too!" Both Celestia and Zarachiel yelled in unison. Even though they knew she wouldn't hear them, she knew that they did love her deeply.

Sunset flew over to the forest which had a giant river in the middle of it. On one side of the river and forest was her Aunt Chloe and Lucifer, who were sitting on a picnic blanket with Rory and Charlotte.

"Ah, Sunset. It's wonderful to see you again, dear niece." Lucifer said, getting up as he hugged her softly.

"Good to see you too, Uncle Lucifer. It's good to see ya, Aunt Chloe." Sunset replied, smiling at her aunt-in-law and her cousins.

"Sunset, hi!" Chloe said, grinning at her niece warmly. The girl had a close bond with Lucifer. He explained that the both of them rebelled against their parent and was forgiven by them.

Sunset flew off and eventually landed in front of her friends. She furled her wings away as she and the cluster of friends held a group hug.

They were all impressive musicians with their respective instruments.

"Lyra, Bon-Bon! I've missed you! How've ya been?" Sunset said, grinning with pure joy.

"We've been good, Sunset. We love it, here in Heaven. I'm glad you fixed the system. I'm proud of you, Sunny." Bon-Bon said, handing a sweet to Sunset as she ate it.

Gilda and Sunset shared a special handshake. The same could be said for her and Lightning Dust.

The white-haired woman looked over at Sunset, smirking. She knew how to pass time in Heaven.

"Hey, Sunny, you up for a game of soccer?" Sunset grinned and nodded, cracking her knuckles as she exercised to give herself a better advantage.

The group of friends walked and eventually found a spot of grass to play on.

They stretched and planned the positions as they played Soccer.

Sunset couldn't help but smile. Her friends were in Heaven with her. Even Twilight and Luster. She'd teleported them into the realm after many millenia of each other.
