We did it! Pinkie said as she Fluttershy,Rarity,Rainbow,and Apple Jack celebrated that the sun was finally back,and the ancient evil was defeated. For Dusk however,even though he too was glad that everything was back to the way it was. He still couldn't get his mind off of what he experienced in the Tabernacle. Looking at his armor it was grey but also had gold lining to it. In the middle,of the chest plat laid a symbol of a star. Though Dusk didn't know it the crown on his head also had the same symbol. While trying to contemplat what he was going to do when he got back to town he heard Fluttershy ask him… Are you Alright? With the best smile he could muster Dusk told her he was alright. With the other girls a little concerned about him but,just than all of them heard a voice that well… I see you,did a fine job of putting an end to Nightmare Moon's reign. Even though Dusk was surprised he knew the voice. The girls heard it too but had no idea who it was til they all looked up and saw who,it was. Like Dusk when they saw where the voice was coming from their faces too were a mix of surprise,and shock,when they all saw it was their leader,and protector Princess Celestia. Looking down the ruler Equestria was impressed that her student had fellowed her letters instructions,or so she thought but was even more astonished that his new acquaintances were girls and,to top it off he looked different. As she flew down. Flying down with her elegant white wings the girls watched in awe as her golden heals touched the old castle floor. She wore a long white dress with a golden waist chain with the symbol of the sun attached to it and a golden crown on top of her head. upon seeing her Dusk kneeled down as he always did when in the presence of the Princess. Seeing that Celestia told him to rise. Now closer to her student she saw his new armor more clearly and his..wings? She thought. Keeping her composer she smiled as she said to Dusk. I see you've changed. Well… He explained. I've recently gotten back from the Tabernacle. Shocked by this the Princess asked how he gotten there? Well after being defeated by Nightmare…Dusk explained to her. I was somehow taken to where the sun was still shining. I couldn't believe it myself I was there but.. He continued. Thats where I met the Element's of Harmony, and where I got this sword. Dusk showed her. With that Celestia silently, gasp, because she knew that it was the Caliber sword. As she was told many centuries,ago anyone able to pull out sword would bring peace to Equestia most darkest hour will be would be a new royal. Looking at Dusk how he changed reminded Celestia how her appearance, changed her once brilliant pink hair turned into a Mystical of colors ,after using the Elements to defeat Nightmare Moon. Uh Princess? Dusk said Celestia said. Oh! sorry. She got caught up in thought is all. She apologized. But Im glad your here with us, and Im happy the Caliber is in your hands. She told him with a smile. Yes. Dusk told her I would like to admit that didn't exactly fellow your letters instructions though Spike told me me about them but.. Things just worked out regardless. Excuse me. Oh I see. Celestia said believing it was the Elements that helped Dusked form bonds with girls. Ummm…Excuse Apple Jack,said. Sorry if Im interrupting,but Im just curious what these symbols on our necklaces mean? Yeah there cool and we know they came from the Elements. Dash what do they actually mean? And what was that place you guys were talking about? Asked Pinkie? The Tab..taber taba..uhh…Pinkie its the Tabernacle the most Sacred place in all of where only a few can enter. Oh. She replied. After looking at the pendents Celestia said to Apple Jack. Well it looks like your the Element of Honesty. Honesty? A.J. Said. Yes. Celestia told her. Thats the Element that chose you. What about me? Rainbow asked her. For you the Element of Loyalty. Looking over at Rarity and Pinkie Pendent symbols,she told them they are the Elements of generosity and laughter. Seeing Fluttershy she told her she is the Element of but not least,as she looked at Dusk crown and chest plate when she said. And your are the Elememt of Magic. Looking at his wings she so glad your with us now Prince Dusk. Hearing that from the Princess Dusked frowned. The girls especially Rarity heard what Celestia just said.A Prince?Apple Jack said. Did you just say Dusk is a Prince? She asked the Princess.A Prince! Rarity said. Than this is a miracle. As she grabbed his arm. A Prince? Pinky said excited. Oh this great we should celebrate! Dash hardly reacted other than being seemingly surprised. Fluttershy being the shy and quiet one of the group,smiled when she heard this. Getting annoyed Dusk was about to say something till he and everyone else heard groaning. Turning their heads they noticed it was where Nightmare Moon had fell. Telling Celestia about this they readied themselves as they headed to deal with Princess of Dusk and girls,Celestia included. Went to face off against the nightmare goddess before,she could case anymore trouble,however,when they reached where she fell, they were stunned when saw someone else in her place. A woman who closely resembled Nightmare was seen in the lying in the rubble groaning and coughing. The woman Unlike Nightmare Moon wore no armor. Instead starting from her ears,had two silver Crescent moon earrings,with a matching necklace pendent with three stars that hung between her black long sleeve crop top and her long dark blue dress,with matching heels A small black crown was placed on her long sapphire blue hair. Though Nightmare Moons helmet did lay shattered near her. Anther noticeable difference about was her wings which were not black, but were the same color as dress,she looked at Dusk and the girls,With same confussed expression as them,though a little dazed. Hey your not Nightmare Moon. Said Pinkie. Who is she? Asked looking over gasp at the sight of the woman. While looking at everyone,the mysterious woman's cyan eyes widen as she saw the leader of Equestria. After seeing her Celestia's said. Your back. As her pale magenta eyes filled with tears. Hearing what the Princess said as she walked towards the unknown woman. Rarity ask Does she know her? I think so. A.J. answered. But who could she be? Asked Rainbow. Thinking of who the unknown winged woman could be.. Dusk immediately thought. No it couldn't be. But there was other explanation. Its been a millennia since I last saw you like this. Princess Luna. The name echoing inside Dusk head confirming his Luna? Apple Jack said to herself. Wasn't that Celestia sister that granny told me about she thought. As Celestia continued to Say… I have missed you these past thousand years, and please forgive me for sending to your imprisonment,and my arrogant ways that allowed you to transform you into that horrific being you once were, and to rule by my side as my sister as we did so long ago. Hearing her Older sister words Luna stood up and told Celestia. Oh sister I've missed you too. As the two embraced each other. Looking around Luna asked. Sister what happened to our castle?With that Celestia explained. Well a lot has progressed after your banishment. But I shall take to where the new capitol is. Looking at the new Prince as she told Dusk to tell the Mayor she'll be over to Ponyville soon. After that Celestia along with Luna teleported away. Well y'all its been fun but I think its time back to Ponyville. Said A.J. Raity. After a night of dealing with forests creatures and the shadow monsters,I look forward to returning to now we can… CELBRATE! Pinkie said in A singing voice. After seeing Celestia vanish Dusk couldn't help but think what his new title meant or how he was go to explaind this to his parents let alone his sister. After a moment of thinking he turned and said to,the girls. Alight lets get out of here. As his staff glowed Rainbow wondered how she was going to impress the Wonder Bolts after Nightmare Moon interrupted the ceremony. As all of them teleported away.
After a bright flash Dusk Rarity,Pinkie,Fluttershy,Rainbow and Apple Jack finally made it back to Ponyville. Looking around they'ed realized they were in the towns square. At first nobody notice them until the Mayors aide spotted them nearby. Miss Mayor. She said to her. Yes. The Mayor replied. Look over there. The Aid pointed. It's Rainbow and the four girls, who were with her when they left,and I think I do see the Princess protégé. Looking at them The Mayor did see Rainbow and the four girls who left with her during the crisis,she Also recognized Dusk,but the how and when he got wings was beyond her. But she knew that he,Rainbow and the rest were responsible for brining back the Celestial sun. Also nearby Apple Bloom,Scootalo,and Sweetie Bell were walking worried about their sisters though, Scootalo was an only child,but she did have a sisterly bond with Rainbow. Spike was with them too worrying about his older adopted sibling. Hey Look! Sweetie Bell yelled and pointed. There back! Looking into the distanced Apple saw her older sister. With that the trio started running. Spike also looked into the distance and recognize his elder brothers face. As he ran the adopted imp notice that his older sibling looked different. Hey where did get that armor? As he Spike got closer he noticed something else. Wait he now has wings? Spike thought. What ithe world happened? As he and the the girls were about to approach. Rarity! Apple Jack! Apple Bloom and Sweetie yelled. Turning their heads the eldest daughter of Sweet Apple Acres,and fashion designer. Saw their younger sisters running towards them. Seeing this Rainbow notice Scootalo who now stood in front her. With a smile Rainbow said to her. Hey whats up squirt? Before Scootaloo could say anything,she notice the thunder bolt pendent on her Sweetie Bell and A.B. saw the same thing on their sisters necklaces, though the pendants were different. Looking up into the sky Dusk was glad the sun was back in its place. However oblivious to his surroundings, the new Prince of Equestria heard a familiar voice that said. Big bro? Looking down Dusk saw his pointy eared assistant looking at him from to head to toe. What happened? Spike asked him. when did you get wings? Where did you get that armor and sword? Well…Dusk tried to explain. Well all I can say is when I encountered the Elements,this what they did. Though the brothers learned of the exists of the Elements Harmony Spike didn't know they could do that. With that according to Spike Dusk did something unexpected. He smiled which was something something he do often unless it was a sarcastic smile as he kneeled down and patted his head. With that Spike noticed A crown on his head and asked. So whats with the crown? Oh uhh. Dusk tried to explain but Pinkie chimed in and said. Oh He's a new Prince now. Prince? Spike said questionably than asked. The Elements of Harmony made you into a Prince? Before anyone could speak everyone turned their attention to the Mayor as she said. Excuse me. Sorry if Im interrupting anything but are all of you responsible for brining back the sun? With that Apple Jack thats us. with smile the Mayor said. Well thank you Ponyville and Equestria is in your debt but, tell me..Have seen Princess Celestia? Yes. Dusk told her. She'll be here Momentarily. Good. Said the is it true your a Prince? With a bit of a defeated look Dusk answered yes. Thats what the Elements and Celestia told me. I see… Told the Mayor. With she said. Congratulations. Come she told her aid. let prepare for the Princess arrival. After an hour much like before everyone was waiting in town hall everyone Princess goddess to show up,ad much to his dismay, everyone learned Dusk the princesses, protégé, was now a didn't want to think about how his sister was going to react let alone his parents. Suddenly in a moment of a bright flash Princess Celestia Equestriax appered. With that upon her arrival the crowd cheered. As they calmed down the said to her. Greetings your majesty its an honor that you have made appeared before us. With a smile Celestia replied. The honor is all mine. So your Protégé is now Prince and his Associates helped him defeat Nightmare Moon? Yes I would've looked and fought her myself but I couldn't risk her breaching the scared land in all of Equestria. I see. The Mayor said. Turning tomface thecrowd the Mayor said. Ladies and gentleman lets have anther round of applause for Celestia,for protecting the sacred land,and Prince Dusk and his associates Rainbow Apple Jack,Rarity,Pinkie and Fluttershy. Who were standing on stage along side with Dusk and Celestia. Much like Fluttershy Dusk hated the Publicity. In the crowd Pear Butter and Bright Mac were proud of their daughter and friends for defeating the evil that Plugged them. After the cheering the sun goddess Spoke and said. For those who don't know In the ancient times of Equestria I had sister name Luna. Who Vanished after Nightmare Moon first appeared however upon her second defeat my sister has now returned,however the reason she is not right now is because so much has changed since she was imprisoned by Nightmare goddess. But all of you can rest assured once she understands todays world She will govern the night that she once did. Everyone clapped in admiration knowing the lost sister of the princess has returned. Soon after the citizens of Ponyville started partying and dancing. Well everyone except Dusk the Princess and other high associates. Looking at the girls and Spike having a good time. Dusk stated to think with everything he had experienced, he had a sad look on his face. Seeing that Celestia told him. So Prince Dusk you ready to go back to Canterlot after this is over? Looking at her the new Prince Princess. he he gestured her to leaned in so he could whisper into her a few moments Celestia said. Very well you may do your research and report back to me when you can. Not long after the party was over and everyone headed back to where they were. While looking for Spike Dusk as lost track after speaking to the Princess he encountered Pinkie who said to Hey Dusky did you enjoy the party? Before Dusk could answer Rainbow Dash came and said. Hey egghead when you leaving? That was also the time Rarity spotted them and asked. So darling I mean Prince Dusk. When are you going back to Canterlot? Apple Jack who Just appeared over heard Rarity and asked. Yeah its an honor to have met ya but when are you going back? Fluttershy who saw her close associates with Dusk,and over heard what they saying,walked over and said.I'll mess you Dusk.I hope I wasn't any trouble. Don't worry you weren't. He told her. And Im not leaving I'm staying. This surprised the girls especially Rarity. Yo.y..your staying here?Rarity Stuttered. Yes. Dusk said simply. I've decided to stay until I finished my research Fluttershy tried to hide it she was glad that now Prince dusk was staying with them. Well good for you. Rainbow said. I could use a new fly buddy. Dash said to him as she put her left arm around his you know how to fly? Dusk reponded. Well uh no. Great! Dash said with a wide smile. I can teach you first thing tomorrow. Yeah but Dusk told her. Im not going out like this, or bare I need someone to sow my outfits for my new wings. With that Rarity smiled and said I can help with Dusk now that your staying here. Pinkie told him. We can now have parties any time. And before we go. Pinkie continued. Lets have our first group photo. Uhhhh. Dusk Said before she set up a camera as all of them came together as the camera flashed and a photo came out. Well I dont know about y'all. Apple Jack said. But Im gonna go get some sleep. Yes Fluttershy said. I got to go feed Angel. And have to feed and deal with my cat. Wait I got something to tell all of you. Dusk told the girls. I wanted to apologize for what I did in the Ever Free Forest. Leaving you guys vulnerable to the elements and the beasts. Oh its okay. Said A.J Were just glad to caught up with you. Yeah. Complied Pinky. Well The Elements showed me how much you guys struggled just to get to that old castle. Oh don't worry silly. Said Pinkie. We had lots of fun. Didn't we? She asked the girls. Listen Dusk Apple Jack told my family we never leave a man or woman behind. Sure you were a little stubborn,but we fought hard to find you,and defeat the Princess of nightmares. And thats what friends and family are here for. Hey why Don't we give him a anther big group hug before leaving. No I don't need that. Dusk told Pinkie. And I'm sorry for face planting you into the ground. He told Rainbow. Hey don't sweat it. She told him. You saved me from becoming Nightmare Moon victims and shadow demons. So were even. Come on everyone one big group hug before leaving. Pinkie told everyone. Pinkie! Dusk was about to say… Til she embraced him the other girls fellowed suit. So warm Dusk thought. Okay see ya tomorrow. Rainbow said as she and other girls left the building. During that Princess Celstia watched from behind the curtain whale talking to the Mayor. She had wide sinister smile on her face as she left quietly out the back. About to leave himself but dusk heard his assistant, say. Big bro? Spike? He said. Where were you? I must've passed out on in one of those under tables over there. What was that hug all about? Spike said watching the event unfold. Well I'll explain everything once we leave. Dusk told him as the two made their way out.
As the transport neared its destination Celestia looked out and notice the night stars. With a smile and a nod Celestia has to Give Luna credit. Even though was gone for a thousand years she still can make her nights so wonderfully beautiful. As the transport landed Celestia saw two soldiers awaiting her. Did everything go well? the Left gaurd asked. Yes everything went splendidly. She told him. How is my sister? Celestia asked. She's fine. The right guard told her. Her nights are beautiful. He told her. The left nodding. Yes they are. She said. As she walked past them and made her way to a huge door,that opened. Inside the castle Celestia made her way to her private quarters, as she passed the many hallways and rooms. Getting closer the sun goddess heard a female voice calling her name. Turning around Celestia saw Gleaming Shield running towards her. She stoped once she approached,taking off her helmet and putting her right fist on her left chest cavity. Gleaming. The day time Princess said. I trust that Prince Miaroré is alright? She asked Dusk's eldest he's fine I wanted to know if Dusk made it back? The gaurds told me you were here but they said nothing about him. Is he spending the night in Ponyville and coming back the next morning. Well… Celestia explained your brother will be in ponyville until his reaserch is complete. Huh? Gleaming not believing her ears. Did you just say my brother is staying in Ponyville? Yes. Celestia replied. Gleaming found herself at a loss for words. And anther thing. The sun goddess told her. You might want to addresss him as Prince. P.p.p prince ? She said in stutter, disbelief. Yes he has wings now. When deafting Nightmare your brother became a Prince. Gleaming felt like someone slap her across the head. My brother who spends all in his tower is in Ponyville and is staying there? The captain of the royal gaurd thought. Taking a deep breath Gleaming said. Well must have been hard for him fighting that nightmare witch alone I'll give him …Celestia explained. Not necessary, she told her. He had five associates with while dealing with her. Getting more of a head overload. Gleaming asked Calmly, as she could. Who are these associates? I'll let you figure that out,but I will tell you just like your brother they are part of the Elements of Harmony. I see. Gleaming said. As both of them went their separate ways. Still unable to comprehend what she older sister couldn't believe that her younger brother was staying in Ponyville let alone a Prince. I must tell Rome and mom and dad about this. She said as Walked outside. So were staying until your research is over? Spike said after Dusk informed of everything. Well thats the told him. nd not mad that told Flittersh your secret and she ended up telling everyone else? Well the new prince explained to him. I was mad at first however. Dusk continued. I think it saved me from the Clutches of Nightmare Moon. Oh. said Spike. So I'll let off the hook this once. As the brothers neared the libary. Well at at least I have more time to spend with Sweetie Bell and her friends. After a few more feet the two brothers stood in front of the wooden structure before sweet home. The imp assistant said as Dusk stared at the wooden library. A small smile formed on his face as the two of them went inside. Not long when night settled in Spike slept like a rock in his cot as he snored. Upstairs in his new room Dusk struggled to sleep. It wasn't his new bed but his new wings. I got to figure how Rainbow and Fluttershy sleep on these things. He thought. As he struggled, he managed to get himself comfortable and finally slept. After that he started to was in his casual attire,but now with his new wings with light lavender color. Looking around he notice he was in space,with the stars swirling around him. Seeing this he heard a voice say..Beautiful isn't it? Looking for where the voice had come Dusk to his disbelief saw the moon and its Moon? He thought. No it couldn't be. Just than the shadow bounced off the moon and morphed into a single being. It wasn't Nightmare but someone else whom he was Familiar with. P.p.p princess Luna. He stuttered. Looking at him with an almost emotionless stare she said Greetings. What felt like hours of them staring at each other Luna said Tell me… She asked thou have any feelings of anger or resentment, towards me due to my other self? Confused at first but Dusk soon understood what she was saying. Oh Princess Luna don't worry. He said smiling at her. I don't resent you. Upon hearing that Luna smiled,and walked uncomfortably close to him. Looking along with Luna Dusk saw the distance stars and comets though out the cosmos than the princess of the night spoke once again. Its been a millennia since able to my show off my night after many centuries. But Despite that Im still capable of doing on it on my own as I showed my sister Celestia. Yes your night and stars are Beautifully. Dusk told her. Thank you. Luna replied. But thers is one thing I have to Tell you she told the new prince of Equestria. And that is? Dusk ask her. Well Luna though I was Dormant inside Nightmare I remember seeing memories of you well my sinister self looking into you memories well you Unconscious after our second encounter with you. So please forgive me for I will not tell a soul o fwhat I saw. With a smile Dusk said. Its alright Princess you don't have keep it a secert sense everyone already knows. I see.. Luna replied. Well just so you whenever you are a sleep I will be there watching over you and the rest of the Equestrian citizens. With that Luna told Dusk as she grabbed both of his shoulders. Well let this serve you as my token of my gratitude and her lips up pressed against his. Even as dream Dusk thought it felt real. Suddenly the new Prince awoke in his room of the library. Seeing a window the sun was almost up but,he also saw the moon. A shadowy figure of woman appered showing Luna was watching over him. with morning fast approaching. Dusk Stretched as he yawned. He decided to get ready as it would be a busy day.
