"Cable…?!"
Deadpool looked up at the looming figure of his friend in both shock and fear. Cable stepped forward, revealing his features, including his stoic face.
"Hello, Wade, it's been a while," Said Cable.
"It has. It's been eight whole chapters since we've last seen each other," Said Deadpool.
"Princess Twilight. It is a pleasure to be in your presence again," Said Cable while bowing.
"It's a pleasure to see you too, Cable," Said Twilight.
"And you must be Spike. Ally of the Elements of Harmony and Wade, and the savior of the Crystal Empire."
Upon hearing Cable referring to him as the savior of the Crystal Empire, Spike puffed up his chest and put his hands on his hips while smiling radiantly.
"Please, you're too kind!" Said Spike.
"You all should not be here. Time as we know it is in peril," Said Cable.
"Aren't you curious about how we got here in the first place?" Asked Twilight.
"Twilight, he's a time traveler and psychic. He most likely saw everything that has transpired, including us getting sent back into the past because of the scroll," Said Deadpool.
"Oh. Right," Said Twilight sheepishly.
"Starlight Glimmer stopping Rainbow Dash's first sonic rainboom caused Equestria to go through turmoil for several years. As much as I appreciate all of your efforts to stop her, each time you have tried to stop her, the future of Equestria has only gotten worse. Lucky for all of you, I came to restore the timeline," Said Cable.
"Phew! That's a relief," Said Twilight.
"Are the four of us going to fight Starlight back-to-back crane style?!" Asked Deadpool excitedly while standing in a crane stance.
"No. When Starlight appears, I will use this on her."
Cable pulled out a high-powered plasma rifle. Realizing what he was alluding to, Twilight's heart nearly skipped a beat.
"H-Hold on a second! We can't kill her!" Said Twilight frantically.
Cable raised his right eyebrow.
"I know that Starlight has changed the past three different times-"
"To be fair, we did have a hoof with the third change," Countered Deadpool.
"Okay, yes. Regardless, is killing her really necessary?" Asked Twilight.
"Starlight's meddling with the past threatens the future of not only Equestria but the world as well. When she first stopped the rainboom, the war between Princess Celestia and King Sombra lasted for three years before Sombra was slain and the citizens of the Crystal Empire were freed. When she stopped the rainboom again, resulting in Queen Chrysalis taking over Equestria, the ponies of Equestria were suppressed for nine years until a rebellion led by Zecora with the aid of a certain red and black spandex wearing pony put an end to Chrysalis' rule," Said Cable.
"I knew saving the rebels and fighting my alternate self was the right call!" Said Deadpool while Twilight grabbed his shoulder and nodded her head affirmatively.
"Hm. And when the rainboom was stopped for a third time, Nightmare Moon's eternal night resulted in the extinction of most life forms on earth. Ponykind was only able to survive through the use of artificial lights to cultivate food and natural evolution to adapt to living in a world with no sunlight," Said Cable grimly.
Hearing the outcome of the world ruled by Nightmare Moon, Deadpool, Twilight, and Spike looked at each other in disbelief.
"Starlight Glimmer's actions have resulted in the suffering of millions of ponies. And if she continues to meddle with time, she could cause irreversible damage. That's why I'm going to take her out before she can stop the rainboom," Explained Cable.
"Why would you kill her here instead of right before she cast the spell at the Castle of Friendship? At least then if you don't take her out immediately, you could have some wiggle room to stop her," Said Deadpool.
"Because when she cast Star Swirl's spell to continuously send her to the past, she created a closed loop," Said Cable.
"Which means she will always be in the past," Said Twilight.
"Exactly," Confirmed Cable.
"I understand, Cable, that she has harmed many ponies by altering the past, and if she forces our hoof, then we may very well have to end her life. But we have to at least try something else first," Said Twilight.
"I'm sorry, Twilight Sparkle, but we need to act quickly, and the quickest option would be to kill her,"
Twilight placed a hoof on her chin, trying to come up with a way to stop Cable from going through with his plan. An idea quickly popped in her head.
"I'm sorry, Cable, but as one of the Princesses of Equestria, I will have to order you to not kill Starlight Glimmer," Said Twilight.
"With all due respect, Twilight Sparkle, due to the changes in the timeline, your authority currently doesn't exist," Said Cable.
Caught off guard by Cable's response, Twilight looked at him in shock.
"And when it comes down to authority, time is my jurisdiction," Added Cable.
(OH!)
Dumbfounded, Twilight stumbled to come up with an argument.
"B-But… I… You can't… But you can't kill her! Wade, you agree with me that she shouldn't be killed, right?" Asked Twilight.
When Twilight looked to her coltfriend, he saw he had his forelegs crossed while looking down at the runway.
"Wade?" Said Twilight.
"I'm sorry, Twilight, but… I agree with Summers on this one," Said Deadpool grimly.
"No… No!" Twilight walked up to Deadpool anxiously. "Wade, please change your mind! The night that you stopped Taskmaster, you agreed that killing villains would only be a last resort!" Said Twilight.
"What choice do we have, Twilight? We already fought her, and she has changed the timeline three times. In each alternate timeline ponies have suffered, and in one of those timelines, I was used to slaughter who knows how many. If we can't fix this, she will have taken away our home, our friends, our life… our love. I don't want us to lose everything. She has to die, Twilight."
She wanted to counter her coltfriend's argument. She wanted to give him a logical reason why they should keep sparing Starlight. To tell him he is wrong to believe she has to die in order to save their timeline. But Twilight couldn't; she had nothing to say back. She looked at him with glossy eyes, and pressed her forehead against his. As for Wade, he had nothing to say for once. As his beloved marefriend silently sobbed, he placed his forelegs around her torso. At the same time, Spike wrapped his arms around one of her forelegs, and looked at her sympathetically.
"I don't want her to die…" Sobbed Twilight.
"I know. And as much as I believe it has to be that way, I don't want her to die either," Whispered Deadpool.
"There just has to be another way…"
"I wish there was, too. Believe me, I really wish there was. But unless we can miraculously reason with her, I don't think there is anything else we can do."
Thinking about what could be done, Twilight realized that Deadpool said something they didn't try yet. They had not attempted to reason with Starlight. Perhaps if they could convince her to stop, then maybe they could stop her without having to kill her. Releasing herself from her coltfriend and Spike's grasp, she walked over to Cable while wiping her eyes with her right foreleg.
"Cable, when we tried to stop Starlight we only tried fighting her. We never tried reasoning with her. If we could convince her to stop preventing the rainboom, then we could restore the timeline and she can continue to live," Said Twilight.
"Twilight, I can't take chances. If you can't reason with her, then she will continue to jeopardize the future," Said Cable.
"Just give me one chance! No more, no less. If I can reason with her, then she can continue to live, but if I can't, then I won't stop you from killing her."
"Hmm… What do you think, Wade?"
"Me?" Questioned Deadpool.
"Yes, do you think that she can convince Starlight to stop her actions?"
Deadpool thought about how he should answer this question. As he thought about it, he locked eyes with Twilight. She looked at him pleadingly. He sighed, then looked at Cable.
"She was able to convince me to go down a more heroic path by not always resorting to murder to stop criminals. So, I believe she can convince Starlight to stop preventing the rainboom," Said Deadpool.
Twilight gave him a grateful smile.
"Fine then, I will allow you one chance to reason with her. However, I can only allow a small window of time before she can have the chance to cause more harm," Said Cable.
"How long does it take to reason with somepony?" Asked Twilight.
"I'll give you thirty seconds," Said Cable.
"That- What?! No!" Said Twilight.
"Best I can do. Take it or leave it," Said Cable.
"Wow! Back-to-back quotes," Said Deadpool.
Twilight and Cable looked at each other for several seconds. The former sighed in defeat, then reached out to the latter with her right foreleg.
"Very well, then. Deal," Said Twilight.
"Deal," Replied Cable.
Both ponies shook hooves, cementing the deal they had made.
"I will give you thirty seconds to convince Starlight Glimmer to stop. If she chooses to continue with her plans, I will kill her. No exceptions."
Cable summoned a portal behind him. As he turned to enter the portal, he looked back at Twilight.
"I will be watching."
Cable then walked through the portal, and it closed behind him. As Twilight took some deep breaths to calm herself down, Deadpool walked up next to her.
"I hope you will be able to reason with her," Said Deadpool.
"Yeah, me too," Replied Twilight.
Suddenly, a teal-colored portal appeared in the sky. Starlight Glimmer appeared from the portal, using her magic to levitate in the air.
"Starlight!" Said Twilight.
"Ha! Good luck trying to stop me!"
Starlight flew towards the race course with Twilight following behind her while carrying both Deadpool and Spike with her magic. As a filly Rainbow Dash was about to make a turn, Starlight close lined her, causing her to fall towards the ground. A portal opened up above the three heroes, transporting them back to the present.
The land around them was on fire, and the ground began to shake. In the distance, they saw a gargantuan Lord Tirek. He was laying waste to the land of Equestria. Twilight swiftly cast the time travel spell, bringing her and her friends back to the past.
As soon as she came out of the portal, she fired a beam of magic at Starlight. Starlight nonchalantly stepped to the right, causing the beam of magic to encase Rainbow Dash in a crystal block on accident. The villainess slow-clapped at Twilight before the latter and her friends were transported back into the present.
Upon arrival, they found themselves in a pile of stuffed animals. It didn't take them long to figure out what went wrong in this timeline. Among the chaos Discord had caused, the Lord of Chaos was riding on a unicycle in royal attire while chasing Princesses Celestia and Luna, who had their manes and tails in afros and clown makeup on their faces. Twilight cast the time travel spell, and she and her friends were sent back in time yet again. Upon arriving, they saw Starlight was using her magic to help a filly Fluttershy navigate the race course. They were immediately sent back to the present, yet again.
Upon arriving in the present, they heard the deafening sounds of construction vehicles and smelt smoke in the air. Turning around, they saw two unicorn stallions wearing boater hats and blue-and-white striped shirts uprooting a tree with a feller buncher.
"Forget what happened to Sweet Apple Acres in Sombra's timeline. This is capitalism," Said Deadpool.
Twilight cast the time spell, returning them to the past. When they emerged from the portal, they found Starlight Glimmer floating above a cloud.
"Up for another race-ending fight, Twilight and Wade?" Asked Starlight tauntingly.
"No. Can we just talk?" Asked Twilight.
"Fat chance! Have you been learning how to deceive ponies from Wade?"
Starlight fired a beam of magic at the three heroes. Twilight summoned a shield around her and her friends to absorb the attack.
"Jeez! I'm sorry I tricked you so I could break your nose! If I knew you were gonna do all of this, I would've just kicked you in the shin!" Said Deadpool.
Starlight growled under her breath while lighting up her horn. Before she could attack, Twilight raised up her front hooves.
"I'm serious. No plans, no tricks. I just want to talk. Can't you spare thirty seconds to hear what I have to say?" Asked Twilight.
Starlight glared at her. Several seconds passed, then she extinguished the light from her horn.
"Fine, I will spare you thirty seconds. But if I suspect any of you will try something, I won't hesitate to attack," Said Starlight.
"Thank you. When you kept stopping the rainboom, you've attracted the attention of a protector of the timeline. If you don't stop tampering with the past, they're going to kill you," Explained Twilight grimly.
"HA! You think I'm that gullible?! Are you really so desperate that you came up with a story that you would read in a comic book?!" Asked Starlight.
"Hey, in this fanfiction, comic book stories are reality. Exhibit A," Said Deadpool while pointing at himself.
"I'm serious, Starlight! If you don't stop, you will die!" Said Twilight.
"Even if you were by the slightest chance telling the truth, if I can keep you and your friends from getting your cutie mark connection, then I will gladly die!" Said Starlight maliciously.
"You really are a vindictive bitch," Said Deadpool.
"The reason why they're after you in the first place is because what you're doing goes way beyond cutie marks! Everything we do here in the past - even the smallest change - can snowball into an avalanche of trouble for the future!" Said Twilight.
"Oh, next I suppose you'll tell me that 'the fate of all of Equestria hangs in the balance'!" Said Starlight mockingly.
"It does!" Stressed Twilight.
"Spare me your overblown ego!" Said Starlight while rolling her eyes. "No group of friends, not even Princess Twilight's, is that important!"
"Aaaaaaah!"
Starlight Glimmer fired a beam of magic towards the race track. It hit the young Rainbow Dash, causing her to spiral upwards. A portal quickly appeared from above. While Spike and Deadpool were sucked up, Twilight held on to a cloud.
"I don't know how important other ponies' friendships are to the future, but I can show you what the world is like without mine!"
Before the villainess could react, Twilight flew towards Starlight and tackled her. She then dragged her into the portal before it closed up. Upon exiting the portal, everyone felt something rough and coarse against their hooves and feet. They found they were standing on some sand, and looking at their surroundings, that was all they could see for sediment. What should've been Ponyville was only barren land. The only sign of life were dead shrubs. A strong wind blew in the area, stirring up sand. The wind caused Starlight and Twilight's mane and tails to flow rapidly.
(I don't like sand. It's coarse, rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.)
"Take your prequel quoting ass out of this fanfiction, now…!" Said Deadpool irritatedly to himself.
"Where are we?!" Asked Starlight angrily
"The future. Or rather, the present," Said Twilight glumly.
"But there's nothing here," Said Starlight.
"This is like that one scene from the 'Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water'," Said Deadpool.
"I wish I could say I was surprised, but every world we come back to is worse than the last. I don't know why we and our friends are so important to Equestria, but we are," Said Twilight.
"I don't believe you!" Said Starlight angrily.
"Come on, Starlight, look around!" Said Spike.
Starlight looked at the surroundings. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"Like I said, everything in the past affects the future, even the tiniest act. And what you're doing leads here. I know I can't stop you, but I thought showing you this might change your mind," Said Twilight.
"Change my mind? You don't know anything about me! I was perfectly happy before you two and your friends ruined what I built!" Shouted Starlight out of spite and sadness.
"I don't know what happened that led you to make your village without cutie marks, and I'm sorry Wade, my friends, and I had to take it away," Said Twilight sincerely.
Starlight Glimmer barred her teeth out of fury, and she levitated herself into the air. She then landed on top of the Cutie Map.
"You want to know what happened to me?! I'll show you!"
Starlight Glimmer cast her time travel spell on the Cutie Map, causing everyone to travel through time yet again. Upon exiting the portal, the heroes saw that Starlight had taken them to a small, quaint village.
"Where are we?" Asked Twilight.
" That map of yours is connected to every part of Equestria, and this part is my home," Said Starlight.
She walked away as the others looked at each other. They then followed after her. Starlight stopped at a house and looked through one of its windows. Twilight, Deadpool, and Spike looked through the window as well, and were surprised by what they saw. In what appeared to be a study was a filly Starlight Glimmer, lacking a cutie mark and her mane tied back as pigtails, and an orange unicorn colt with a red mane and tail. They were both stacking books with the aid of their magic.
"Who's that colt?" Asked Twilight.
"His name's Sunburst. He was the first friend I ever had," Said Starlight.
"I presume he was also your only non brainwashed friend?" Questioned Deadpool.
Starlight glared at Deadpool.
"Sunburst and I did everything together. In fact, I don't remember us ever being apart. Until today," Said Starlight glumly.
"Ah, this is a child- foalhood trauma origin story," Said Deadpool.
"Well you just shut up and watch!" Said Starlight annoyedly.
Looking through the window again, they saw that the two foals had finished creating their book stack. It was twice as tall as they were. Their finished project brought immense joy to filly Starlight, as evidenced by the fact she was clapping her hooves with glee. Sticking her tongue out of the corner of her mouth, she pulled out a book from the bottom of the stack. This poor choice caused the entire stack of books to fall towards her. Just before the stack of books fell on her, Sunburst managed to catch all of the books with his magic.
A bright yellow light surrounded his body as the books circled around him. He then neatly placed all of the books back onto a singular book shelf in the study. Afterwards, a cutie mark of a sun with three golden rays appeared on his flank. Overjoyed at finally earning his cutie mark, he bolted out of the study and the house. He came across a unicorn mare and stallion who were presumably his parents. Delighted to see Sunburst with his new cutie mark, the stallion grabbed the young colt and he and the mare made their way towards the center of the town with other townsponies following behind them.
While they were off celebrating Sunburst finally getting his cutie mark, the filly Starlight watched everything that had transpired from the entrance of the house. Having been left behind, she teared up as she shut the door behind her.
"And just like that, my friend was gone. His family recognized his magical talent and sent him off to Canterlot. I never saw him again," Said Starlight sadly.
"Well, why not?" Asked Spike.
"Because of his cutie mark! He got his, and I didn't! He moved on, and I didn't! I stayed here and never made another friend because I was too afraid another cutie mark would take them away, too! And until I finally earned mine, I was relentlessly taunted by all of the foals in town for not having one! Ponies alienate those who do not have cutie marks! You don't have any value in society if you don't have one!" Shouted Starlight with tears in the corners of her eyes.
(Society!)
(Shush!)
"Sunburst was the one good thing I ever had that I valued more than my village. But once he earned his cutie mark, my happiness went away with him…" Said Starlight sadly.
"That's ridiculous. A cutie mark can't take your friends away," Said Twilight.
"Not everypony's lucky enough to get her cutie mark at the same time as her friends!"
Wiping the tears from her eyes, Starlight cast her time travel spell, creating a portal above her that sucked everyone in. The portal opened up back in Cloudsdale's flight school, and everyone landed on the runway.
"You don't know what it's like to lose a friend because of a cutie mark! But once I stop the rainboom, you will!"
Before any of them could react, Starlight stole the scroll containing Star Swirl's time travel spell.
"And when I destroy this scroll, there'll be no way for you to change it!"
With the heroes watching in terror, Starlight slightly tore the scroll lengthwise with her magic.
"Starlight, you're right! I don't know what you went through! But I do know you can't do this! I've seen where this leads, and so have you!" Said Twilight.
"I only saw what you showed me! Who knows what'll really happen!" Said Starlight.
"I've seen it a dozen times! Things don't turn out well in Equestria without my friends!" Said Twilight.
"Ugh! What's so special about your friends?!" Asked Starlight frustratedly while slightly tearing more of the scroll. "How can a group of ponies that are so different be so important?!"
"The differences between me, Wade, and our friends are the very things that make our friendship strong."
Twilight calmly walked towards Starlight. As she did so, filly Rainbow Dash and the colts flew by, racing each other as it is supposed to happen. Starlight appeared to be conflicted, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"I thought Sunburst and I were the same, but we turned out to be different, and it tore our friendship apart," Said Starlight tearfully.
She ripped more of the scroll. She only needed to rip it one more time before the scroll was completely torn in half.
"So try again! Make new friends! And if something that you can't control happens that changes things, work through it together! That's what friendship is! And it's not just my friendships that are important to Equestria! Everypony's are! When yours ended, it led us here! But just imagine all the others that are out there waiting for you if you just give them a chance!" Said Twilight.
Starlight glared daggers into Twilight while tears trailed down her face. The scroll shook in her magic as her body trembled out of both anger and sadness.
"Come on, Starlight. If you destroy that scroll, you will be killed. Don't you at least want to live?" Asked Deadpool.
After taking in everything she had just heard, as well as what she saw was awaiting Equestria, she stopped glaring at Twilight. Her ears drooped down, and she loosened her grip on the scroll.
"How do I know they won't all end the same way?" Asked Starlight tearfully.
"I guess it's up to you to make sure they don't."
Twilight reached out her left hoof towards Starlight. The latter saw Rainbow Dash dive downwards, preparing to make her first sonic rainboom. After looking at her and Twilight a couple times, she reached her right hoof towards Twilight's. Once both ponies took each others' hooves, they both gave each other a small smile. Starlight had let go of the scroll, and Spike caught it before it could be carried away by the wind.
BOOM!
Down below, Rainbow Dash had just created her first sonic rainboom. The explosion of colors spread across Equestria. Now, Twilight and all of her friends would get their cutie marks at the same time, restoring the timeline. As a rainbow formed above them, a portal appeared, sucking everyone in. The portal opened up above the Cutie Map. Everyone fell on top of the map then onto the floor. The scroll slipped out of Spike's hands and flew underneath the portal. It was then surrounded by a blue orb of magic. The scroll was sucked into the portal, and then both disappeared in a flash of white light that could be seen several miles away. As they got up, Twilight, Deadpool, and Spike realized they were in the Castle of Friendship. Overjoyed to finally be home, Spike dropped back down onto the floor and kissed it.
"One Castle of Friendship - check!" Said Spike.
SLAM!
Suddenly, the doors to the throne room slammed open. Spike looked towards the entrance to the throne room, and found his friends standing in the doorway.
"What in Equestria was that?!" Asked Rarity.
"Is everypony okay?" Asked Fluttershy concerningly.
"Eek! Can you do it again?!" Asked Pinkie excitedly.
"One group of amazing friends - check!" Said Spike.
"Yeah, Spike. It looks like we're home!" Said Twilight.
"Finally! I was not looking forward to a part four of this chapter," Said Deadpool.
"Uh… what's she doing here?" Asked Applejack while pointing at Starlight.
While Applejack and Rainbow Dash glared towards Starlight, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie were frightened by seeing Starlight. Feeling ashamed of her actions both in the past and today, Starlight avoided making eye contact with any of them.
"Actually, it's kind of a long story," Said Twilight while placing a hoof on Starlight's shoulder.
Suddenly, a light blue portal appeared in the throne room. Cable stepped out of the portal, surprising everyone but Twilight, Deadpool, and Spike.
"Twilight Sparkle, I-"
"Don't worry, Twilight, I got him!"
Without asking questions, Rainbow Dash flew towards Cable. As she was about to deliver a kick to his head, he caught her leg effortlessly with his bionic arm.
"You have a metal arm? That is awesome dude!" Said Pinkie.
"Nice quote, Pinkie," Complimented Deadpool.
"Thank you!" Said Pinkie.
"Hey! Let go of me!" Said Rainbow irritatedly.
Cable let go of Rainbow Dash's leg. She was about to try to kick him again when Twilight used her magic to stop her and move her away from Cable.
"Who are ya, stranger?" Asked Applejack cautiously.
"Gals, allow me to introduce you to one of my BFFs! This is my time travelling friend, Cable! Cable, these are my friends, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rarity. I'm sure you know who they are, but formalities," Said Deadpool.
"Hey, Twilight, is he by chance the one who would have killed me if I did not stop changing the past?" Asked Starlight.
"Yes," Replied Twilight.
Starlight gulped out of nervousness.
"You have nothing to fear, Starlight Glimmer. I came here to speak to Princess Twilight," Said Cable.
"Oh," Said Starlight timidly.
"Twilight Sparkle, first I would like to congratulate you, Wade, and Spike for stopping Starlight and restoring the timeline," Said Cable.
"Thank you," Said Twilight.
"And the other thing I would like to discuss, which is why I am here, is I would like to apologize to you."
"Oh?"
"Yes, I would like to apologize for not having faith in you being able to reach Starlight. Something I'm sure Wade would also like to apologize for."
"Oh, uh, yeah… Cable's right, I am sorry for believing Starlight was a lost cause, Twilight," Said Deadpool.
"Thank you, both of you. Although, I am surprised that you allowed me to. Considering that three more alternate worlds were created before I could try to talk to her, and Starlight nearly destroyed the scroll containing Star Swirl's time spell, which would have prevented us from being able to try to stop her from preventing the rainboom," Said Twilight.
"Well, when she was planning on destroying the scroll, I had decided that was when I had to intervene and eliminate her," Said Cable.
"So, why didn't you?" Asked Starlight.
"As I was about to travel back in time to kill you, I received a vision."
"A vision?"
"Yes. In the vision I saw that by allowing Twilight to continue trying to reason with you, you will play a part in creating a brighter future for Equestria. You will help put an end to some of the land's greatest threats, and you will mold the minds of the next generation."
"I will…? How will I do all of that?"
"You will know in time, Starlight Glimmer."
Cable summoned a portal, and just when he was about to enter it, he looked back at the group of ponies.
"Farewell, heroes of Equestria."
Cable stepped through the portal, then it closed behind him.
"Okay, now I'm confused. What happened?" Asked Applejack.
"Allow me to explain," Said Twilight.
A few minutes later…
Inside the throne room, Twilight just finished telling her friends about her, Deadpool, and Spike's adventure through time while Starlight waited outside.
"I knew my rainboom was awesome, but I never thought all of Equestria depended on it!" Said Rainbow.
"Or on us!" Added Pinkie.
"I think it's more than that. Friendship connects all of Equestria, and undoing one group of friends made its magic less powerful," Said Twilight.
"I can't believe y'all were able to travel through time like that," Said Applejack.
"That Starlight must be pretty magical!" Said Pinkie.
"She obviously has more talent for magic than almost anypony I've seen. My magic couldn't stop her," Said Twilight.
"I was only briefly able to stop her. And Twilight had done most of the work," Said Deadpool.
"The only way we were able to stop her was because I convinced her to stop on her own. Once I realized that, everything fell into place," Said Twilight.
"But if she's as powerful as all that, we can't just send her on her way, can we?" Pondered Applejack.
"Actually, I kind of have something else in mind."
Starlight Glimmer was pacing outside the throne room nervously. She was waiting for Twilight and her friends to decide what they should do with her. One of the doors opened up, revealing Spike on the other side. He waved Starlight over. Gulping out of nervousness and taking a deep breath to collect herself, she stepped into the throne room.
"I know there's no excuse for what I did, but I want you all to know that I'm ready for whatever punishment you think is fair," Said Starlight.
"Well, Starlight, for your crimes against Equestria, we have decided to execute you," Said Deadpool.
Everyone in the room glared at Deadpool.
"Too soon?" Questioned Deadpool.
"(Sigh) I've been thinking a lot about how badly Equestria fared without just one group of friends. Because even when one friendship dies, the results can be disastrous," Said Twilight.
"I know first-hoof how true that can be," Said Starlight.
"And that's why I've asked you here. If you're willing to learn, I'm willing to teach you what I know. You'll have the power to make Equestria an even better place."
"How do I start?" Asked Starlight in a hushed tone.
Twilight walked over to Starlight and placed a hoof on her shoulder.
"Starting is easy! All you have to do is make a friend! And you've got eight of them right here," Said Twilight.
The Mane Six, Spike, and Deadpool walked over to Twilight with smiles on their faces. Starlight placed a hoof over her chest, overjoyed by all of them willing to give her a chance and be able to have true friendship back in her life again.
"Thank you, all of you," Said Starlight happily.
Everyone joined together in a group hug, with Starlight in the center.
"Alright, time to wrap this shit up! This chapter has gone on for too fucking long! Either this chapter ends or I end the author's life!" Said Deadpool irritatedly.
Uh… Yep! Wrapping it up!
Fin!
