---Right after the teleportation 3rd POV---
As the other five women rushed in and quickly called out for Twilight as she was teleported away. They promptly began searching while calling out for their missing friend. Applejack promptly yelled out, "Twilight, where are you?"
As Rarity was closest to the windows, she could spot another part of the ruined castle light up. Most likely from the teleportation itself. She quickly called out to the others, "Over there look."
They quickly rushed over to the window and were able to see what Rarity was talking about. Applejack quickly ushered them out of the room. "We need to get over there."
"Rainbow, can you get over there to help her." Fluttershy asked, worried about her new friend being all alone with the strange being that first ponynapped their Princess and now has taken their friend.
"I would, but it looks like you all will need my help getting up there," Rainbow replied as she pointed at an area where the stairs themselves have broken apart.
As they quickly raced out of the room, they could not help but worry. Fluttershy asked nervously. "Twilight will be fine until we get their right guys?"
Applejack quickly comforted her nervous friend. "Of course, she will. You will see when we get there everything will be ok."
"We will be there in a jiffy, darling, and everything will right as rain until we arrive." Rarity replied with comfort in her tone.
---Seconds after the teleportation 3rd POV still---
As Twilight coughed up off the smoke, she looked up and was surprised to see Nightmare Moon holding the Elements of Harmony in the air with her magic. Nightmare slowly started chuckling as Twilight prepared herself to charge at Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon Gently lowered the Elements to the ground before she spoke up. "You are kidding right, You're kidding, right."
As Twilight charged at Nightmare Moon with a spell ready on her horn, Nightmare Moon smiled and started charging as well, but her horn did not glow at all, showing she was not worried. As soon as they were about to meet head-on, Twilight activated the spell in her horn. It was a teleportation spell this surprised Nightmare Moon, who quickly looked around for Twilight. Nightmare moon promptly looked back at the Elements of Harmony and was not surprised that is where Twilight decided to teleport to.
Twilight slowly gathered the energy into her horn. She spoke aloud, "Just one Spark…come on… come on…"
Nightmare Moon watched as the Elements started glowing because of what Twilight was doing. She quickly Growled out a curse. Turning herself into a mist to stop the young Unicorn from completing her objective. Nightmare moon landed right in front of Twilight, watching as Twilight was blasted away by what appeared to be the reawakened Elements of Harmony. Nightmare moon quickly let out a blast of words, "No… No…"
Twilight let out a triumph and relieved smirk because she did not have to risk her friend's life. The Elements of Harmony glowed a brighter color before they completely cut themselves off. Twilight let out a shocked gasp. "Where is the sixth Element?'
Nightmare moon quickly burst into cackles before she raised one of her legs and broke the so-called Elements of Harmony. Twilight could only let out a gasp of shock as she witnessed the Elements break apart before her very eyes. Nightmare moon began Gloating. "You little fool! Thinking you could defeat me. Now you will never see your Princess or the Sun again. The night will last forever."
---POV Twilight---
I quickly heard voices coming from the entrance of the room we were in, and that is when I felt it click in my head. 'I was right; they are the Elements of Harmony; the baubles are not the Elements of Harmony. They are like training tools for the wielders themselves.'
I quickly threw my head in the direction of Nightmare moon herself. "You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony so easily."
Nightmare Moon looked down at the pieces on the floor and then looked back up at the spunky Unicorn. "Indeed, I do little one. After all, I just did."
I quickly put on a gloating smirk hiding my low confidence in this plan, but it was the only plan I had currently. "Well, you could not be more wrong because the Spirits of the Element of Harmony are right here."
I felt them slowly move around me. I could tell the girls were confused about my boast, but I knew they were the elements themselves. I watched the rocks on the ground start to react to them, and I knew I was right then, that I was correct in my guess. I started explaining the things that made me realize that they were the elements themselves. "Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, she represents the Spirit of Honesty."
I quickly turned my head to the next girl, who helped me realize who they were. "Fluttershy that was able to befriend a raging manticore when it was in pain with just a little bit of compassion, she represents the Spirit of Kindness."
Afterward, I looked at Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie Pie was able to banish the darkest feelings of worry and fear by making me laugh in the face of darkness, she represents the Spirit of Laughter."
I watched as Rarity was shocked when I turned my head towards her next. "Rarity was able to help a distraught Water Dragon when he had lost something precious to itself, she gave up something of her own to help a being she did not even know, she represents the Spirit of Generosity."
I watched as Rainbow Dash, who was not even paying attention to the words, I was saying because of how focused she was on Nightmare Moon. "Rainbow was able to give up her dreams because it meant she would be abandoning her friends in a time of need, she Represents the Spirit of Loyalty."
"These are the five Spirits of Harmony, and they were able to get us through the most dangerous of challenges you have thrown at us," I Informed Nightmare moon.
Nightmare moon was looking too nervous before her confident smirk returned. "You still do not have the sixth Elements. The Spark did not work."
I was confident as well because I had realized that it was a different kind of Spark that we were pursuing. "But it did. A different kind of Spark was needed than what I thought, I felt the Spark ignite the moment I heard you coming up that walkway. It had made me genuinely happy because it meant you felt the same way I did. That you all considered me a true friend as much as I did."
We quickly looked up when a sixth rock teleported into the room itself. As it floated down to me, I started to explain to Nightmare moon herself. "You see Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the Spark that resides in the heart of all us, it creates the Sixth Element… the Element of Magic.
As I spoke, the rock quickly glowed along with the shattered rocks before they reformed, turning into extensions of our cutie marks. 'that is slightly embarrassing, but I was right.'
As we were pulled into a group bubble for a split second, I could feel everything they felt we were truly in Harmony with each other.
---Nightmare moon/Luna POV---
As the Harmony magic took on the form of a rainbow. Nightmare Moon smiled because at least she had lost to Harmony itself and not her sister. Nightmare moon let out a snarl as the Filth in her body tried to get her to dodge to do anything. Nightmare Moon was surprised that Luna, who had not made a play for the body in ages, took complete control with what little energy she had left to lock the body in place. Luna was able to send a gloating message. 'Well, Nightmare moon, it looks like I am getting the body back.'
'Keep it warm for me, Luna, because I will be back to rechallenge you.' Nightmare moon snarled at Lune, who let out a tinkling laughter
'Of course, you will because I would expect nothing less from my Nightmare.' Luna sounded genuinely joyful.
As the energy wash over their body, they felt the Filth get ripped from their body and destroyed as they watched the energy explode outward. Luna mused to her Nightmare, 'Looks like the filth will be weak for a long time after this.'
'Do not get comfortable, Luna, the Filth always comes back,' Nightmare moon warned as she faded into sleep.
'I will not Nightmare rest well until you are ready to rechallenge me,' Luna watched as Nightmare fell asleep in their mind.
---Onyx POV---
I feel the rush of harmonic energy exploding out and healing all beings and banishing all the generated Filth. I slowly Stood up and release the power supplying the dome. As I fell forward, I was caught by Big Mac, who asked a one-worded question. "Over?"
"Yeah, they did it. They beat her. I am going to rest, Big Mac, alright" I slowly slipped into a deep sleep.
---Big Mac's POV---
As I turned towards the other two, who helped me guard him. Informed them in my usual tone, "Over."
They nodded their heads before helping me get him to one of the doctors. I quickly spot Doctor Greymare. "Doc."
Greymare quickly took Onyx out of our hands and did a check-up on him before he winced. "He is not going to be doing any magic for a few weeks, boys."
"Is it that bad, doc?" Astral asked in worry.
"If he had to hold the barrier up any longer, it would have broken his horn boys," Greymare explained in sadness. "The fact he is only going to be down for two weeks is already a miracle because the harmony magic healed him, but it could only do so much."
I could not help the grimace that came out of me. I slowly spoke, trying to keep my rage down. "Anything we can do?"
"Make sure he rests," Greymare answered. "I know him as well as you do, and the moment he gets out of your sight, he might do some minor magic."
"Inform Pinkie?" I spoke up what was indeed a cruel punishment, but Onyx loved the scatterbrain for some reason.
"That would do it." Greymare nodded in agreement with the plan.
---POV Princess Celestia---
I slowly stood up and cracked my back after the bubble disappeared. I suddenly felt the harmonic wave wash over me, getting rid of the Filth in my castle. I looked at Rose before speaking. "I will be going over to Twilight and then making my way back the slow way."
Rose bowed to me along with my guards. "Understood, my lady, we will be waiting for you to return."
As I made my way over to where Twilight was and the newest generation Element bearers, I could not help but smile. 'Luna was cleansed of the Filth, and it looks like she has complete control of her body again.'
I felt my own nightmare stir of the mention of our sister before it fell back asleep. 'At least Daybreaker did not wake up, and if I had my way, it would stay that way.'
I quickly checked myself for any filth tainting me before nodding my head when I found none. As I flew over Ponyville, I saw what looked like a small battlefield with a single manor in the center with the whole town folk there. 'Onyx protected everyone in the town. Good, that means no deaths from what I can tell in Ponyville.'
As I floated towards the castle, I felt Twilight and the others start to get back up.
---Inside the castle 3rd POV---
While pushing herself off the ground, Rainbow slowly groaned out. "Ow… my head."
As Applejack looked around as she was standing up, she painfully asked, "Everyone alive?"
After Rarity had stood up, she was shocked and let out in a triumphant tone of voice. "Oh, thank goodness, it is back."
Fluttershy slowly inspected Rarity for her while walking around her in circles. "Everything looks about how it was before Rarity, and your new piece of jewelry looks amazing as well."
When everyone had heard Fluttershy's words, they quickly saw what was probably really embarrassing. There was a piece of their cutie mark in the form of a necklace before seeing the tiara on Twilights head. Applejack spoke up. "Twilight, I thought you were just boasting to Nightmare Moon, but it looks like you were telling the truth about what we were."
A golden glow exploded into the window of the room before they heard a voice they had been hoping for all night. "Indeed you are."
The sun slowly rose into the air as Princess Celestia appeared into the room, causing all but Twilight to bow to her. Twilight quickly rushed to the Princess, giving her a hug "Princess Celestia."
Princess Celestia let out in a happy tone of voice, "Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student, I knew you would figure it out."
Twilight looked at Princess Celestia, confused. "You told me it was an old pony tale."
Princess Celestia slowly snickered at her confusion. "I told you that you need to make some friends, nothing more."
"I saw the returns of Nightmare moon way before you had even sent me that letter. The reason I told you to make some friends is that I knew you had the magic inside you to defeat her." Princess Celestia informed Twilight. "You just were not ready to unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart."
Princess Celestia slightly lied with her next words. "Now, if only another will as well… Princess Luna."
"It has been a thousand years since I have seen you, little sister. It is time to put our differences behind us." Princess Celestia looked the weakened Princess Luna in the eyes. "Will you put this our differences behind us?"
Princess Luna quickly realized that Celestia was putting on for her student and decided to follow along. "I am so sorry. I missed you so much, big sister."
The tears they were releasing were genuine because it had been a thousand years since they had talked for these two sisters. "I have missed you as well."
---time skip Ponyville Luna POV---
As the subjects made merry, I sat beside my sister before speaking up in thought. "Twilight Sparkle does not yet know of the rot, does she, sister."
Celestia replied in a melancholy tone. "Only a certain portion of Pony society knows about the Filth Luna."
"Is it still…" I was hesitant to ask the question that I knew I needed to ask.
"Indeed, it is still incurable on a mass scale. This is the first time that Filth has been banished, and it took the Elements of Harmony awakening to even cure you. It shows that it can be beaten." Celestia explained in sadness for all the lost life taken by the rot. "I do not want to put that weight on her."
"Why Filth?" I asked Celestia a question about the new name.
"We cannot yet cure people and animals, but we can cure places, and once the Filth is removed, the place recovers almost like it was only dirty," Celestia explained.
I nodded my head at the explanation. I watched Celestia's student approach the airship along with a juvenile gem dragon. 'Why has sister not killed the creature? Does she not remember the plague they were when fully grown.'
---POV Celestia---
"Why so glum, my faithful student," I asked Twilight why she was saddened. "Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?"
I could already tell what she really wanted, but as her teacher, I must teach. So I was not surprised when she spoke up with words that I knew she wanted to speak. "That is just it. As soon as I started making such wonderful friends, I have to leave them."
I knew what she wanted, and she is pretty much done learning from me anyway. I quickly looked at Spike the Dragon 'Luna will most likely ask why the Dragon is still alive; I want to see if the young could be saved. After all, I have plenty of time, I mean, that is why I did not immediately have it destroyed when Twilight hatched it. But so far, It is looking like the young can be saved.'
"Spike, take a note, please. I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree the Unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria, she must continue to study the magic of friendship made up of the Elements of Harmony, she must report to me all her findings from her new home in Ponyville." I watched her break into a smile as her friends surround her.
I slowly move back towards the chariot, where I see Luna looking smug. "Getting soft dear eldest sister."
"Only for those close to me." Luna nodded happily with that answer. I was surprised at how correct that answer was because I would destroy anything that would threaten Equestria.
"Do you still have him as a statue?" Luna asked, curious about the one being that we could not destroy.
"For now." I admitted, "There is much for you to learn."
"I know, sister." Luna sighed as she watched the Ponies play and run around. I was not surprised when a pony raised out of my shadow, and Luna did not even flinch. "I was wondering when the shade would rise."
Luna was always the battle master between us. I greeted one of my spies, "Solar Dusk."
He looked at Luna in question. "Luna was infected with the filth she has now been cleansed."
He nodded and started his report about what happened in Ponyville itself and what happened to Onyx.
---POV Pinkie Ponyville hospital---
"How did you know it was going to happen, Onyx?" I asked him straight to his face, "and how did you know I would be involved?"
Onyx watched me for a second before he made a motion, and the room sealed itself from any listers. "The Royal Rune Society of Equestria has known about the 5 elements being people for a little over 900 years. They confirmed for me that you five were the current generation. We also knew about Nightmare moon returning exactly a week before it happened."
"And what you did nothing to prepare for it?" I was genuinely curious as to his answer.
"Pinkie, we did everything we could but help you, girls, because Harmony likes to tell a story, and there was nothing I could do to fight Nightmare moon. She is an Alicorn." I was confused about the name she was given.
"Alicorn?" I poked him in the shoulder.
"As much as Princess Celestia does not want to admit it, Alicorns are god beings for us Ponies," he explained what an Alicorn was.
I thought about it and nodded in agreement. "It is the name we came up with when Princess Celestia banned the word, God."
"Do not think just because you are injured and that you saved everyone in ponyville from monsters that you are getting out of your punishment for hiding things." I looked at him before kissing him on the lips and climbing into his lap. I slowly growled at him. "Once you are better, we are going to a romantic dinner, and then I am taking you home and rocking your world, mister."
I could feel a particular part of his anatomy like that thought. He slowly spoke to me with an apologetic tone, "I am sorry I did not tell you. I was not allowed to. Whenever we find an Element, we tell central, and then they send someone to protect the Element. As I was already here and we were dating, they decided I was enough to protect all five of you. Guess you did not need protection. In fact, this is the first time in a long time since the Elements are completely active. It is a new age, Pinkie."
I shot him a look that said explain. "Yesterday, there were no elements, not a single one truly, and before the rock went inert, the elements were truly active. Now after 900 years, the elements are active again. It is a new age of Harmony."
---Ethereal POV---
Harmony and Discord looked at the planet, seeing it damn near spotless since before the Filth arrived on the planet.
'This is your win, Harmony.' Discord complemented.
'No, this is our win, Discord.' Harmony insisted. 'the Filth is at an all-time low, and a few more doors are closed.'
Discord hummed in thought before nodding in agreement. 'Our win.'
As they both stood there, they could not help but wonder what the next game woul
