Dead Equestria: Dante Clarke

  They looked up to see the eclipse, and the skies turning red. Then they noticed that the eclipse had a hole forming in it. "Well, that's my cue, Celestia, I need you to launch the Marker up into space." He said to her, she was looking up at the skies and the eclipse. "Celestia! I need you to launch me, and the Marker, into space!" He shouted at her getting her attention. She nodded and prepared her magic. He grabbed onto the Marker and held tightly. There was a yellow aura around him and the Marker, then he felt a rumble beneath him.

Then he felt himself launch into the air with explosion under him. He looked under him to see that the castle was nowhere to be seen. The Mane Six were seeing the skies turning red and the eclipse happening, then they noticed a bright orange light through it all flying towards the moon. Twilight saw the tablet light up and they saw Dante. "Dante are you seeing this orange light? And why are you vibrating?" Twilight asked, everyone saw him on the screen. "Um. A) Because Celestia just launched the Marker into the air. And B) I AM THE ORANGE LIGHT!!!" He shouted. They looked back at the orange light in the air leaving the atmosphere. It was out of sight once it fully left the atmosphere. "Alright how much time do I have left?" He asked. "You've got thirty minutes before eclipse is finished. Make em count!" Twilight shouted. Alright, thirty minutes. I got this. Dante thought.

He looked up to see debris everywhere, but it was a nice view. "Girls, have you always wanted to see the stars up close?" Dante asked. "Well here ya go." He was slowly floating through space towards the open moon. He saw that mines were floating through the debris. Shit! He used his thrusters to maneuver through the debris and the mine field. "Ah, shit! I got mines on my end, I'm gonna see if I can't use my thrusters to get through it." He says trying to Marker out of the way. He uses all of his strength and force in his thrusters to push the marker. He lets out a loud grunt and moves the Marker way off to the left. Oh right, I'm in space so it's not that hard. He saw more mines incoming so he stopped the Marker. Okay so far so good. He thought.

He was making good progress he was almost there. "Come on, Come on!" He used his thrusters and pushed forward to the moon. "Dante you have ten minutes. Hurry!" Dante used all of his thrusters. But he was forgetting something. His eyes widened and he turned. He had one minute of air left. "Shit!" He was going as fast as he could using all the force in his thrusters to push the Marker forward. "Hey girls, this is it but..." He stopped and closed his eyes. "But what?" Applejack asked. "I, don't think I'll be able to keep that promise..." He said looking back at his air. Thirty seconds. "No... you... you promised!" She said beginning to choke up.

"I'm sorry Applejack, truly I am, I just won't make it, my air I...." He stopped, He looked at his air. Five seconds. He took a deep breath of what air he head left and pushed the Marker, he used the last of his force by pushing the Marker at the same time while boosting with his legs, sending launching into the moon. His camera angle changed to show the Marker flying into the moon, then causing a shockwave, then an explosion. With the of his air, Dante said, "I love you Applejack, I love you." He said beginning to drift off into space. His air gauge reached zero and his health bar began to go down. Applejack was crying. "I love you too." She said through her sobs.

Dante's health bar went blue to yellow, to red, in a matter of seconds, but she managed to say it before it went to nothing. He slowly floats back to Equestria and goes through the atmosphere burning through the skies, then crash landing. Just like the first time he came to Equestria. He enjoyed those times, having fun with the girls, spending time with Applejack, snuggling Applebloom for the first time. Applebloom absolutely loved Dante, almost like a father, and he loved her almost like a daughter. He would never be able to feel those feelings again. Loving Applebloom and Applejack, their soft coats, their love, their emotion towards him. He was like family to the Apple Family. The Mane Six, Apple Family, Cutie Mark Crusaders, the Princesses. All gone.

He was falling, slowly, lifelessly, and then it all ended with a crash, and there wasn't a med pack that would help his injuries. The girls looked up to see the eclipse fading away, the skies turning back to blue and the clouds calming down. And they saw Dante falling like a meteor down to Ponyville. "Come on! Lets go!" Rainbow Dash shouted. They quickly rushed back to

Ponyville, they followed the smoke cause they knew that's where he'd be. They were running through the Everfree Forest towards his direction, then they found him. He punched through the ground and into a cavern about eighty feet down. They descended down into the cavern and found his body lying there. His suit was destroyed beyond repair, luckily he had his helmet on when he fell or else he wouldn't have a face. Applejack galloped over to him and pulled his helmet off and them put her fore hoofs of his cheeks.

"Dante? Dante! Please wake up, please!" She says shaking him. "Move over for a sec." Twilight said. She used her magic and flipped them over. His RIG had no bars. "I'm sorry, he's gone." Twilight said. "No! There's gotta be some sort of healing spell!" She shouted sobbing over Dante. Twilight just shook her head and then picked Dante's body up with her magic. "He died with pride, courage, and love. His death will not be in vain. He sacrificed himself for the good of others." Twilight said walking out of the cavern with Applejack following close by.

  Dante died the same way as his father. Destroying the Marker, and sacrificing himself for others. Ponyville  mourned in his name. Everypony knew that he sacrificed himself for them. They loved him dearly, he was a good man. Applejack was happy knowing that he was too and so was Applebloom. The last Marker was destroyed, the galaxy was saved from the deadly Necromorphs, and Dante and Issac were written down in history, as heroes.
