    As the Light radiating from the six mares came to an end, they found themselves freed from the dark barriers that had kept them imprisoned. The girls would have never believed it would be possible, despite the odds being against them, but because they did believe, the true power of the Elements of Harmony was unlocked and came to their aid.

    Twilight Sparkle felt so proud of herself and her friends. Suddenly, she saw Courageous Heart back on his hooves with his powers and strength returned. She galloped over to him and hugged him tight.

    “Courageous!!” The lavender unicorn held him close and pressed the side of her face into his coat, “I’m so thankful you are alright.”

    The young stallion hugged her back and smiled, “As am I, Twilight. It is all thanks to you and your friends.”

    Twilight blushed a little and look up at him, “Really?”

    “Yes. You asked the Light to aid us in the direst of times, and it sent the Spirits of the past to save not only us…but all those around your home.”

    Twilight smiled and when she noticed many specks of Light flying around in the dark, cloudy sky, she realized Courageous was correct: hundreds, if not thousands of Light Spirits were soaring all over, freeing those in the area from their corruption.

    With the many ponies, zebras, buffalo, dragons, and various critters restored, the Light was now much stronger than it has been in a long time. Yet the rest of Equestria and the world were still covered in Darkness, and only by defeating its Master would victory be achieved.



    “Princess Celestia!!” Twilight shouted as she ran over to where her unconscious teacher was.

    “Princess Luna!!” Fluttershy gasped at the alicorn who no longer looked like the wicked Nightmare Moon.

    Applejack and Rarity helped Twilight with the restored Princess of the Sun, while Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash helped Fluttershy with the Princess of the Moon.

    “Twilight…?” Princess Celestia muttered as she regained consciousness.

    “Sister…?” Luna muttered to Celestia once she heard her voice.

    “It’s alright, your Majesties. You have been freed from the Darkness that bound you to Tirek.” Twilight explained softly.

    Once the two rulers of Equestria were up on their hooves, the Mane Six were so thrilled to have them on their side again. Even Courageous was happy for them, yet he could sense the strength of the Darkness growing…somewhere outside the Castle.

    “I am sorry to interrupt this moment, but this battle is far from over; the storm clouds and Midnight Castle still present means Tirek is not through yet,” the Champion explained, “We have to get outside…Now!!”

    The Mane Six and the two princesses all agreed to what he was saying and followed him out of the throne room and back to the court yard.




*********************************




    Once the nine ponies made it back to the outside interior of the Castle, they saw a familiar group of former servants of evil who were just recently freed by the passing Spirits of the Light.

    Shining Armor, Princess Cadance, Discord, Spike, along with Garble and his gang of dragons were standing together, pleased to see their dearest friends and family members return safely. But before they could run up and embrace one another after being separated for such a long time, the ground began to shake.

    “What’s….happening!?!” Spike shouted.

    “Earth…quake!?!” Shining Armor guessed.

    “No!! It’s Tirek…and its coming down near Ponyville!!” Courageous confirmed, “I can sense it!!”

    “Then we have to get there now!!” Twilight informed her beloved alicorn as well as the rest of those around her.

    “Yes, and I think we should get out of here, unless you like the idea of becoming pancakes!!” Discord stated as the Castle around them shook with the probability of it coming down.

    “Everypony, stay close!!” Courageous ordered as his eyes and horn glowed with the power of the Light.

    Every pony, dragon…and Discord…gathered around the Champion as he focused hard enough to where they were teleported out of Midnight Castle and down to Ponyville. The rest of the ponies inside the castle, guard and citizen, ran out as quickly as possible. When everypony was outside, they were greeted by the dragons and pegasai that were restored and ready to give them a lift.




**************************************




    A bright flash of Light appeared in the center of Ponyville, and what the numerous ponies and other creatures saw before them were the Champion of the Light; the six bearers of the Elements of Harmony; the three Princesses; the Captain of the Guard; a group of young dragons, and the former Master of Chaos and Disharmony.

    As much as they wanted to cheer and give praise to the heroes who saved them from the Darkness that had a hold on them, the shaking of the ground prevented that event from happening.

    As the earthquake continued, Twilight, along with her friends and family, looked all around them and were saddened by the destruction of their once beautiful home. All the cottages and other building were nothing more then rubble upon the ground. All this was the work of the Hydras, whom had fled after the arrival of the Light Spirits.

    “What is going to happen, Courageous!?!” Twilight asked her dear alicorn.

    "I don’t know! This is also new to me!!” Courageous speculated.

    Suddenly, without warning, a massive shadow appeared out of the ground before the ponies and creatures within Ponyville. The Dark shade took form in the shape of the one who wields the source of all Evil: Tirek the Supreme.

    “COURAGEOUS!!! I’M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU YET!!!” Bellowed the Master of the Darkness.

    Many ponies were both terrified and angered by the appearance of this wicked monster that dared to show himself to them. Courageous however flew over the crowd and stood before his sworn enemy.

    “It’s over, Tirek!! You cannot win this time!!” Courageous yelled for the demon centaur and all others to hear, “Your only strength was to turn all creatures in the world to evil, therefore weakening the Light. But you forgot about those who are of the Light from long ago!!”

    Courageous was referring to the Light Spirits that were flying above in the storm-filled sky, who were ready to assist their Champion in ending the reign of the Dark One for good.

    “You underestimated us, Tirek…and that has cost you everything you planned to take from all of us!!” Courageous’s words encouraged all around him to shout and stand up to the Overlord of Evil without fear, “The six great species, along with many others, are reunited again after so long…and this time you will fall, ONCE AND FOR ALL!!!”

    The many creatures cheered in unison at the Champion’s brave words and stood with him, ready to bring this to an end.

    Tirek’s voice rose in volume as he laughed nefariously at Courageous’s proud, yet foolish speech. “OH NOOOO!!! THIS…IS WHERE…ALL LIGHT, SHALL DISAPPEAR!!!” The Dark Master shouted. Tirek crossed his arms and the power of Darkness surrounded its chosen one. In mere seconds, the demon centaur began to grow in size, becoming larger than any being the world had ever seen.

    Everypony and creature gasped in terror as the Dark One kept growing, until his head almost touched the clouds. Once Tirek stopped growing, he stretched forth his claws to the sky. What followed was the storm clouds roaring with loud thundering booms; massive bolts of lightning struck all around in the sky and on the ground; the wind blew like a hurricane, one that even the mighty dragons could not navigate through.

    “MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! The massive monster laughed maniacally. With all the Darkness he had absorbed across the world, he was now at his strongest, one that no pony could challenge.




*********************************








    Panic spread all around to the numerous creatures all over the ground and the air; the sight of this enormous demon brought fear back into those that were ready to fight to save their homeland. Pegasai and dragons were blown in all directions, unable to stay in the air and fight against the strong currents of wind. The eaRth ponies, unicorns, zebras and buffalo were not having an easier time avoiding the lightning that struck around them, along with the trees and rubble blowing around.

    Many of them tried to run or fly away from the giant Tirek as he roared, “I WILL DESTROY IT ALL!!!!”

    Courageous Heart refused to let the Master of Darkness win. He turned towards the fleeing creatures and with his eyes glowing bright, he shouted, “NO!!! DON’T RUN!!!”

    Upon hearing his voice, all that tried to escape came to a halt and turned to the Champion.

    “STAND TOGETHER, AND FIGHT FOR YOUR HOME!!!” Courageous ordered and encouraged.

    Although he was right, and with more then enough to take on this great beast, these simple creatures were not strong enough to stop Tirek.

    The brown alicorn turned his eyes towards the skies where the Light Spirits flew and called out to them, “LIGHT…PLEASE…GRANT US THE POWER TO REMOVE THIS MENACE FROM OUR WORLD…FOREVER!!!”

    Flying in a one straight line, the Spirits of the Light soared downward and into different ponies and creatures of their choice. Soon, every pony, zebra, buffalo and dragon were empowered with the purity of the Light. Glowing brightly, they regained their courage and determination to fight and save their home.




    Tirek roared in anger and fear from what he saw, but continued his attacks to stop them. Using all the power the Darkness granted him, he unleashed lightning from the storm clouds; shockwaves by the stomping of his hooves; and the dark energy beams shot from his eyes.

    Working together, the various creatures of Equestria fought with all they had, whether it was from their own strength and skills, or that of what the Light granted them.

    Applejack and Chief Thunderhooves led the Earth ponies and Buffalo on the ground. They charged and either headbutted or bucked Tirek’s legs and hooves, while avoiding his stomping.

    Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy led all the pegasai around the giant monster, attempting to draw his attention away from the others as they attacked.

    While the pegasai did their part, Spike and the Wise One guided the dragons through the strong currents of wind and when the time was right, they breathed Light instead of fire out of their mouths at Tirek.

    Pinkie Pie, Subira and Zecora stood with the zebra archers and fired many dozen Light arrows as high as they could, right onto the body of the beast.

    Twilight and Shining stayed side by side as they commanded the unicorns. Aiming true, they shot beams of Light from their horns at Tirek and held it for as long as possible.

    Princess Luna, Princess Celestia, and Princess Cadance all flew together in a triangular pattern. They aimed their horns at the wicked creature and fired upon him.

    The Light Spirits, along with Discord, flew around Tirek shooting the Light from their eyes, mouths or horns in attempts to weaken him.

    With every pony, creature and spirit working together to fight the Master of Darkness, their chances of victory were become much higher, now that Tirek was showing signs of weakening from all the attacks.

    The giant demon centaur felt himself getting slightly weakened from the attacks, but refused to let his entire conquest that he began over four-thousand years ago be undone by the weaker creatures of the world.

    Standing tall and resisting what he could, he shouted for all to hear, “YOU…CANNOT STOP ME!! I…AM…TIREK, THE SUPREME!! THE END…OF ALL LIGHT!!” He tried to attack the creatures of Light with his own power, “MY WILL IS UNDENIABLE!! MY POWER IS UNSTOPPABLE!!" He then caused a shockwave to form and knock them all back, “I!!! AM!!! THE DARRRKKKNNNEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!!”

    Every pony and more were blown back a bit by Tirek’s attack, giving him a chance to strike back. But before he could do anything, a pony in the distance was charging right at him.

    It was Courageous Heart. With his body and eyes fully empowered with the Light, he flew straight towards Tirek, while shooting multiple beams at him. He soon changed directions and flew up into the sky.

    Twilight and the rest watched as the Champion reached the clouds above. Once there, he fell downward at great speed towards the giant centaur. Like a comet falling from the heavens, he struck Tirek hard, causing the Master of Darkness to fall onto his knees, stunning him greatly.

    The many creatures cheered for Courageous and his heroism.




*******************************




    With Tirek temporarily weakened and stunned, Courageous turned to Twilight and the other mares and called to them, “It is time, my friends!”

    The Mane Six knew what he was referring to. With the Light aiding them, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight rose up into the air towards the Champion of the Light.

    Every pony, creature and spirit watched as the six mares and one stallion stood together in the air. They all glared at the monster before them that was responsible for so many terrible deeds that were committed from thousands of years ago to this time. This was where his reign of evil would end for good.

    Tirek however was not going to let these little ponies summon the one and only power capable of defeating him. Opening his mouth, the Darkness poured out and surrounded the seven ponies, trapping them in a ball of evil.

    The creatures below gasped and cried for their dear friends, believing not that they were swallowed by the Darkness.

    “HAHAHAHAHA!! IT IS OVER!!!” Tirek declared with pride, while still in a weakened state. But soon he realized that he was wrong:

    The sphere of Darkness was immediately shattered and the seven ponies appeared unharmed; at that very moment, nothing stood between them now.

    With no words needed to be said, Courageous looked around at each of the mares, giving them a firm smile and nod, letting them know that now was the time to summon the greatest power of the Light.

    Applejack focused hard and activated her Element of Honesty.

    Rainbow Dash snarled and her Element of Loyalty glowed.

    Rarity gave a firm stare and the Element of Generosity shined.

    Pinkie Pie gave a big smile and her Element of Laughter lit up.

    Fluttershy stood strong and activated her Element of Kindness.

    Finally, Twilight Sparkle’s eyes glowed bright and the crown upon her head, know as the Element of Magic lit up.

    With all six Elements active, it was now time for Courageous to do his part to complete the cycle and summon the great power of the Light. Focusing hard, he was nearing the final moment.

    “IT CANT BE!!! NOOOO…!!” Tirek bellowed in denial, but it was already too late.

    Courageous’s eyes glowed brighter than ever before; his wings expanded and grew, and his four legs all spread out. The Light, along with the Elements, had combined and summoned that which lifted up from them and into the sky. Every pony and creature marveled at the sight that had finally appeared after so long: The Rainbow of Light!

    Glowing with many colors of purity and harmony, the Rainbow of Light shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds. It curved and aimed downward, straight at the demon centaur, who was unable to escape it‘s path.

    “NOOOO!!!” He yelled as the Rainbow was nearing.

    Finally, within seconds of being summoned, the mighty Rainbow of Light came down onto Tirek, covering him in the brightness and power that represented all that was good in this world.

    As a being of pure evil, the demon could not fight against this power and found himself hollering in pain and agony.

    “NOOO!!! NOOO!!! Tirek yelled into the sky as he felt the Light all around him, “AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

    With that final echoing cry and the Rainbow of Light illuminating all around him, a massive shockwave of Light was released that spread all over Equestria and the rest of the world.



**********************************



    Throughout all of Equestria, the dark storm clouds parted and soon vanished, opening the sky to allow the sun to shine once more upon the land.

    To the south where Appleloosa and the Badlands resided, the ponies, dragons and critters that were turned into servants of the Darkness were freed as the wave of Light came through their homes, restoring all that was destroyed to its original state.

    To the west, Los Pegasus was hit by the wave, and every pony there was back to the way their were: free and thrilled to be so.

    In the north, The Crystal Empire was restored to its beautiful state, with every Crystal Pony cheering upon being released from the nightmare that befell them.

    To the East, the Hayseed Swamps were back to the way they were: creepy and muddy, with the zebra residents cheering for the ponies that saved them. The cities of Manehatten, Filly Delphia, and Baltimare were restored once the wave passed through them, and everypony there was grateful to be themselves again.

    Across the sea to the many corners of the world, the great Kingdoms and Homelands of various creatures saw the shockwave pass through their lands, clearing the skies, repairing all the damage that was done, and bringing all the good creatures back to their senses. They then chased out all the wicked monsters that invaded their homes and cheered in glory for the heroes of Equestria.

    Finally, back in the center of Equestria, the town of Ponyville was restored to the way it was before the Darkness came: the sky was clear and bright, birds were singing, and everything was beautiful once more.

    The City of Canterlot was restored as well. The shining jewel of Equestria was once again sitting on the top of the mountain, in all its beauty and glory.



    With all of Equestria restored to its greatness, the ponies and other creatures felt much happen to themselves as the Light passed through them from the shockwave:

    Princess Luna felt the last amount of corruption inside her disappear for good. Any trace of Nightmare Moon, was gone at last. She was very happy for her past finally put to rest.

    Spike was reverted back to his baby dragon form, much to his delight and disappointment.

    Many others could feel the corruption leave their hearts and bodies. They were finally free from the Darkness.




*****************************



    As Courageous and the six mares returned to the ground, they were quickly greeted by the hundreds of creatures that were so proud of them for bringing Equestria back into the Light.

    But soon, they heard the painful moaning of the Master of Darkness before them. He was still there, but barely. Back to his original size, Tirek could feel the dark powers he was given leave him. The Light surrounded the demon centaur as he glared weakly at the simple creatures that defeated him.

    Twilight, Courageous, and the many around them watched as Tirek reached up into the sky, begging for the Darkness to help him. But his pleas were not answered this time. He soon saw himself beginning to fade away. With his last ounce of strength, he turned his gaze to the Champion.

    Courageous only looked firmly onto his sworn enemy, and watched as the demon completely faded away. At that moment, Tirek the Supreme…the Master of the Darkness and the enemy to all creatures of Good…was gone; Banished and Vanquished...into Darkness.
After a long time, it all comes down to this: The forces of the Light in the final battle against the Supreme Master of the Darkness. Witness this epic final conflict that will decide the future of Equestria and the rest of the World.
