A "Happy" War to Wage

" But Daddy! When would I be able to fight!" It was never fair to me when my father would go into battle, and I wasn't aloud to fight too.

"Wyatt, we've been over this, you're too young, and besides, you've only got eight years left." Daddy chuckled, I crossed my arms and huffed. He always teased me about how long I would have to wait.

"That's too long! Eights years is like, half of my life!!! Please Daddy can I go! I will fight really hard too! Mom said that I will grow up to be a strong fighter! Do you not agree with her?" Daddy looked surprised, he gave me a sad look. I covered my mouth, it made Daddy sad when I spoke about Mommy.

"Of course I know you will be a strong fighter, but it's not my fault you have to wait." Daddy sat down next to me," Your Mother was right, you will GROW to be a strong fighter, sometimes,son, you have to wait to achieve what you're born to achieve, and this is the time to do that. In the mean time, always remember,I love you, and your mother did too" Daddy kissed me on the forehead and hugged me, "I want to give you something, Wyatt"

"What is it?" Daddy reached in the back of his robe and pulled out a yellow star.

"It is an Oracle Star, Wyatt" He saw the confused look on my face. "It can assist you at the time of need, Wyatt, soon you will get a robe, and that robe will hold this star. When you need assistance that is crucial, you tear the star off of the robe and hold it in all of the indents. If your robe is damaged or burned, the star will still be usable, it is indestructible, use it only when it is extremely needed. It has a one time use, one day, Wyatt, you will need this star" He placed it into my hands, and it glowed. It poofed away and a large robe appeared in my hands. My eyes widened when this happened.

"D-daddy! Look! I got a robe! I finally got my first mage's robe!!" Daddy chuckled and I hugged him, the star was present on the robe, I looked at it and smiled. I quickly put the robe on and it was large, the sleeves almost dangled past my knees, and the bottom would've tripped me if I began to walk.

"Daddy! IT FITS ME PERFECTLY!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!"

I shuffled on the hard ground, wiping the dirt off of my face. I began to cough profusely, hacking and holding my chest. I remembered what had happened, there was an explosion, and I fought Celestia in a battle of no mercy. I was lying at the bottom of a large crater, it seemed that everyone else was blown back by the blast. My body was in pain, I felt weak, and helpless, I struggled to stand. I stood on my feet and flapped my wings, I got a little bit off of the ground. I hovered up and out of the crater, it was larger than I expected, probably twice the size of Ponyville. I looked out into the distance, I saw Scooter, and a few others lying on the ground. Gravel and dirt was being blown everywhere, it was like a sandstorm. I saw the silhouette of a limping pony in the distance, but due to the current weather condition, I couldn't make out who it was.

"My god, this is a tragedy" I said, coughing some more and shielding my eyes from dirt. From the state that the area was in, this could be described as a wasteland, empty and lifeless. I walked towards a body, it was Twilight's body. She was dead, from what I could see, her neck was definitely cracked. I moved on, I needed to find Celestia and kill her, I tripped over a body.

"Aw, shit!" I yelled as I hit the ground, hitting the side of my head. I looked over at the body, it was Klum. I crawled over to him, and shook him.

"Klum, wake up… please Klum, wake up dude." No response, I shook him more and waited. He stirred in his unconscious state, I beamed and said his name a couple of times.

"Wha… what happened? Are we in a desert? Did you w-win?"

"No Klum, but w-we have to find Celestia right now, the battle isn't over yet, get up" I help Klum stand up and put his arm over my shoulders. We walked in the direction that the figure went, the hoof prints were fading away, so we had to move fast. I heard a feminine voice coughing madly, and a mumble come from the same direction.

"She's this way, Klum, just a little more"

"Wyatt, i'm proud of you, you didn't give up, good job" Klum said, smiling at me.

"Dont mention it, we have a war to win" We continued to follow the hoof prints, we saw some ruble and debris sticking out of the ground. There was a figure behind the debris, me and Klum slowly walked towards it. Celestia was sitting behind it, she spotted up and quickly stood up.

"You can't win, you are weak, I can easily overpower you" Celestia said, weakness in her voice. It wasn't us that were weak, it was her, she was trying to intimidate us, or break our spirits.

"You know that is not the truth Celestia, take your defeat seriously" She raised a dagger with her magic, it was covered in a green substance that wasn't hard to recognize. Due to the effect of the poison residue, gas finding it's way towards me, my eyes began to water and my breathing turned harsh, I fell to my knees and struggled. Klum did the same, she had that poison on the dagger, and I had nothing to do, we were both rendered useless.

"It may just be the truth, Human, now it is time that your days of living are ended, immediately" I tried to say something witty and smart, but I was weak. She began to slowly move over to Klum, she rose the dagger, I tried to move over to try to block it, but Klum's fate was already decided. I closed my eyes and let my tears fall.

I closed my eyes and let my tears fall while Daddy hugged me.

"Daddy, please, do you have to die now? Please Daddy, please don't go." I cried into his chest as he lay on the hospital bed. He couldn't respond with words, but he just shook his head and hugged me tighter. Turns out, someone had put an illegal substance into his food, effectively poisoning him, the poison flowed through his blood stream, his heart only pumped it through him faster. I reached to the back of my robe and pulled off the star.

"Daddy, c-can I use this on you? To h-heal you? You said t-to u-use it when I really needed to, D-Daddy, and I r-really need you!" He tried his best to put on a smile, but I knew that he was almost dead. I held the star in all of the indents and aimed it at Daddy, nothing happened, I tried again and again. The heart monitor began to speed up, I cried harder as my feeble attempts to heal my father failed.

"No Daddy! PLEASE NO, NOT LIKE MOMMY! NO PLEASE, IT'S NOT FAIR, NOTHING IS FAIR!!!" He put his hands on my shoulders and finally spoke some words. What he said, changed me.

"Wyatt… I love you, very much, I know you want to heal me, and it may seem important to you, but that star will be needed to save your own life one day. I care about you more than I care about me, because Wyatt, I love you… Just stay strong, you'll grow up to be a strong man some day" He closed his eyes and the monitor went flat, there was a constant beep instead of an occasional beep. The doctors ran inside and tried to save him, but his death was inevitable. I held the star in my hands, gripping it tight and looking at it.

"If you say so, Daddy, I love you too" The star glowed and appeared back onto my robe.

As Celestia raised her dagger, I reached to the back of my robe and pulled off the Oracle Star. I looked up and saw my father, standing there, pointing at the star. I gripped it tightly and activated it, Celestia jammed the dagger into Klums stomach. She heard me moving and she looked at me. The star glowed and began to flash, it cleared the weather and the land was clear again. I became enveloped in white lights and I was lifted into the air.

"What… What is this!" Celestia screamed, unable to move. The star floated out of my hands and hovered above me.

"Sorry, Celestia" The pulsating light fired at large laser at the princess, the noise was immense, and Celestia screams were muffled. She was slowly disintegrating into vapor, starting from her hooves. Holes were forming in her body, lights shooting out of them. When the beam was dying down, Celestia was no longer there, just emptiness. Her crown just lay there, unharmed and still in mint condition. A golden light appeared in front of me, it spun around me and lifted me up high, I felt a tingling sensation around my body. It made a large flash and I was dropped to the ground, I felt overloaded with strength and power. I looked around me, the crater was gone, out town was back, nothing was destroyed. My friends were still on the ground, using my newly developed strength, I levitated them up. I couldn't find Luna anywhere in sight, this war wasn't over. Many ponies still live out there, in fact, Fluttershy, The Pink One, and The White One are still in that city. Along with Luna, and probably other princesses out there that needed a good ass whoopin'. Klum, was not injured, the dagger had be vaporized, and the poison was gone.

I walked over to Celestia's crown, picked it up and looked at it. Maybe Celestia could hear me, probably not, I didn't know, but I had some unsaid words.

"Daddy's Orders…"
