Falling Stars
Moving Towards What's Right
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI got up from the mirror room in the old castle. 'I'm out of chaotic magic and chackra and I can't be seen by anypony what now?'
'How about you go to Canterlot and talk to the princess,'
'Good idea Kurama,'
I went over to the door and put an ear to it. "Well what if we...." I heard Twilight outside the door. She was trying to open the mirror again.
"Twi it's been almost 3 months he's not comin' back," I heard Applejack try to get Twilight to stop. They both started to walk towards the door. I looked up and jumped up to a lower rafter. I then jumped to a higher one until they wouldn't see me. "I understand what your goin through he was a good friend to us all even if we didn't express it a lot. Even if the town hates him we will still remember what he did for us,"
"Your right. Maybe it is time I gave up,"
"No not give up. Just take some time off,"
"Alright I'll get some rest, Applejack," Twilight said this and walked away.
"Ifin you can hear me through that mirror. I'd like to say I'm sorry for how I treated you and everypony else would too, even Rainbow if that ain't weird, I wish ya would come out of there,"
'I forgive you Applejack but I need to talk to Celestia first,'
'Alright go now they're all gone,'
I slowly opened the door and walked out. I close the door and saw two shadows from the P4 universe. 'The universe just had to dump the monsters here and now,'
'You really do suck at living without a problem,'
'Perks of the magic I presume,'
One of the shadows looked at me and started to run away. I pulled out a sword and cut it in two. The other started to run so I threw the blade at the other one. I stomped on the shadow that was now stuck in the ground. Once both shadows dissipated I went up the stairs.
I took cover behind the corner and peeked out. Everypony was gone and away from the castle so I transformed into my alicorn form. Darkness covered my form as the organization cloak I had on changed to fit my pony body. I flew up into the night. The hood of my cloak had surprisingly stayed up so my face was concealed.
I flew into the night almost as fast as I could making sure I didn't make a mach-cone. As I flew to the castle I noticed strange pink clouds. I thought of the possibilities of what I could do. 'I think these are coming from the Everfree. I might as well stop them.' I flew over to the clouds and straight into them.
"Aw buck they're sticky. Wait they taste like cotton candy. Aw buck this isn't good." I said this unable to curse normally and flew into the sky because the clouds started to multiply. They started to surround me. I flew straight down and the clouds matched my speed. I did one of my last tricks. The mach cone started to form around my hooves. I flew faster and it broke. A ring as blue as the night could be seen in the air and a boom as loud as a missile were seen and heard. All the clouds were destroyed and I flew even faster to Canterlot.
I reached Canterlot and I stopped the sonic boom. I glided down into the castle and changed into a human. My cloak returning into it's original form. I ran further inside and a night guard caught sight of a shadow moving. I hid behind a corner and got some chloroform ready on a rag. The guard walked up and I turned him around and applied the rag. The guard fell limp and I continued to Celestia's room.
After a few guards went asleep on the job I reached Celestia's room. I opened the door to Celestia's room. I saw something my eyes will never remove. "Fucking get out!" The guard ran out with one of Celestia's socks.
"Who woke me up?" Celestia asked groggily from just waking up.
"I'm back, but that's not important. Discord's free Tia," I told her the important news.
"We must call Twilight and the others," Celestia immediately woke completely up and wrote a note. "Chris,"
"My name is Fallen,"
"Fallen you're reinstated as a captain of the wonderbolts and your first duty is to send a note to the element bearers in Ponyville," Celestia only would do this in dire need.
I rose my hand in a salute. "Yes Ma'am!" I changed back into an alicorn and was given a wonderbolt costume. I put it on and took the note. "How fast am I allowed to go?"
"As fast as possible," Celestia gave me the all good to go. I opened her balcony and flew out. In ten seconds I broke the mach-cone. The time it took to get to Ponyville was two minutes. I stopped at the library. I knocked on the door.
"Hello," Twilight froze up as she saw me and started to cry. "But you...you,"
"I was gone but now it's business." I took the note and used a spell to clone it once. "The princess needs all of you at the castle. Well talk later k, Twilight?"
"Al-alright," I flew into the sky towards Rainbow Dash's house.
I used magic and created a plank of wood. Knock Knock Knock. "How in the hay, You're BACK!" Rainbow Dash ran up and hugged me.
"I'm not used to this sorry." I just started to hug her.
"I'm not either, but we all missed you and we're sorry,"
"I've heard, Rainbow but you've all got to go to Canterlot and no hugs, Twilight will get upset," I teased her.
"Yeah well that was your only one and it was only cause you've been gone so long. I have one question though. Why are you in a wonderbolts uniform?"
"Celestia reinstated me as a captain of the wonderbolts, but we've got no time about that now. Go to the library Go!" I told her and I flew off to Rarity's place.
Knock Knock Knock. "You have some nerve to. You're back." Rarity gave me a hug and I returned it.
"You've got to go to the library the girls are meeting up." I told her.
"Alright I'll go. You owe us all an explanation later!" She got into my face and walked towards the library. I flew up and towards sweet apple acres. I got towards the door and knocked.
"Who in the wide world of Equestria is...You're back!" Applejack Exclaimed this as she noticed who was at the door.
"You need to go to the library. All the girls are meeting there," I told Applejack.
"Alright I'll see you there," Applejack walked back to the town. I flew over to Fluttershy's cottage. As I flew down Rainbow Dash was there and Fluttershy was walking towards town.
"Thanks, Rainbow but you might not make it there in time," I said trying to elicit a race from her.
"Oh yeah well I could be in Canterlot in four minutes!"
"I can do it in two," I informed her.
"Let's just get to the library," Rainbow Dash and I made it to the library in a few minutes. I opened the door and walked in with her.
I saw everypony there including Pinkie Pie who I couldn't recall going to her place. "Oh don't worry I was already here!" Holy shit can she read my thoughts!
"Alright so what is going on here?" Rarity asked me.
"Well you all need to be transported to Canterlot as fast as humanly possible,"
"Why do we need to go?" She asked me this question.
"Someone is free. Someone nobody thought would get free,"
"An' how do ya know bout this creature?" Applejack asked me this one.
"Because well because I sealed him with my friends and the elements of harmony long ago. Let's go," I felt as if a wound had been opened.
"How are we to get there anyway?" Rainbow asked me.
"I'll teleport you all and fly there myself," They looked at me weird.
"Ya can't fly faster than Rainbow can ya?" We started going back and forward.
"Can she do a sonic-boom?"
"Ya mean a rain-boom?"
"They actually called it that. I said that as a joke! Well than yes," I got a look from them all. "How do you think I started the wonderbolts. They all saw the boom and thought that I could make my own branch of the military,"
"So you're actually a captain of the military?" Pinkie asked me calming down for a minute.
"Yes you could say that, but first I need to meet the captain of the other branches and the other wonderbolts. Alright we need to go now," I walked outside and motioned them to stand next to each other. I started to imagine the symbols and felt my harmonious magic moving. I then thought of the throne room in Canterlot. The magic released and everypony dissolved into light molecules. I flew up and did a sonic-boom and slowed down in the throne room. After I had slowed down everypony rematerialized.
"I thank you all for coming here on such short notice," Celestia said this.
"It's not really short notice if they barley got one sister," Luna said this stating an obvious thing.
"Yeah sorry about that we had no time. Tell them on the way to the elements," I told Celestia.
"Alright then." We started walking towards the chamber of harmony. " A foe long ago, one we had thought we beat,"
"I beat," I corrected mostly.
"You weren't alone in that battle." Celestia tried to take my victory.
"Anyway we beat him and we sealed him in stone, but he's escaped and we need you to seal him again," I said stealing the spot light.
"Why us?" Twilight asked us.
"Because we're no longer connected to the elements. Tia open the door," I told them all.
Celestia opened the door and pulled out the case containing the elements. The elements weren't inside. "Sorry I was later for the party,"
"What a touching reunion right brother."
"It's touching alright,"
"This has to be the worst reunion ever. There's no booze, no games and the only proper women in miles is stuck in an inanimate object!"
"I'm sorry I was so eager to see you I didn't bother to get the festivities." We turned to see a stain glass window speaking. "How are you today my dearest princess?"
"I'm not even going to give you the satisfaction Discord!" Celestia revealed the name of the intruder.
"Well that's no way to treat the party guests. Even if you did stick us in stone," Discord or more correctly known as my brother said.
"There is no we brother. I had as much of a hand in that as she did!" I yelled at him.
"Oh shut up you have me to thank for getting here and your powers anyway." He's gonna beat us in a battle of words. So how about a battle of swords. I swung my katana with my magic and hit my brothers broadsword. "Well you couldn't expect to hit me so soon after being in stone for 1000 years," He pushed me back and encased me in a magic bubble. "Now first off I've had a lot of time to view other parallel worlds so I've destroyed the elements." I pulled out my sword again and changed into a human.
"There's no way it's impossible to destroy the elements!" Rainbow tried to hold on to that hope. I started to mercilessly beat the shield. It started to give way. He snapped his claws and everypony besides Twilight and Rainbow stood there. I snapped my fingers and appeared next to them.
"I will protect these two with my life!" I got a stare from Rainbow but Discord chuckled.
"Alright go on protect them from yourself. I've got some chaos to make," He snapped his fingers and teleported out of the castle.
"Tch Hello hello how are you today?" I heard my own voice.
"I've accepted you!" I yelled and took a good look at my shadow.
"You didn't accept me. I allowed you to use the power. Now deep down I know you're hurt. But down there you still don't accept me. So I'm going to teach you a lesson!" I felt a massive increase of power. "Now die and let me take over!"
I looked back at my two charges and when I looked back my shadow had become a cross which upon it was a human crucified. That was just wrong. "You don't even care about this world why protect it!" It cast a spell and I used a shield. "You don't even care about them why even have feelings!" I blocked another spell. "This is all just slowing you down from ascending into chaos!" I blocked another the strain on my head was very taxing. "Just fall and become what you were meant to be!" I blocked the last spell.
"Just Shut Up. You're Me So You Know Exactly Why I'm Doing This! Sure it may not be for the right ones sure I'm not even supposed to be able to feel. It doesn't matter! I can feel so what! As long as I can feel I understand what's right and right now my heart is telling me that no matter what I must protect these two. Even if it means I have to destroy my own soul!" I summoned a blade from my chaotic magic and threw it at my shadow. The shadow morphed into a human again.
"I know your reasons and no matter what. Even if you need me. You'd rather destroy me if I harmed them. So do you truly accept me?"
"Yes your me and I'm you even if the world were to end only I could destroy myself." I shook his hand with my hand and he turned back into my persona.
"Well I honestly thought that would take longer oh well I'll just keep you in the castle tata for now!" His voice rang out from the walls and I felt the floor give way. We fell through onto a floor made of gems. I looked up to see a bunch of shadows. I took out my katana and held out my left hand.
A card flew down and I summoned the powers of persona. "Izanagi!" Lightning shot down from the sky and it destroyed a few shadows. I changed persona and crushed the new cards. "Orpheus!" Fire destroyed more of the shadows. I looked back and only one or two shadows were left. I turned to Twilight and Rainbow. "How are you two holding up?"
"I'm fine but Twilight's been out for a while!" We both knew she needed medical attention.
"Alright put her on my back I'll carry her out," I told Rainbow and she did. We ran as fast as we could towards the shadows.
"How do you know where to go!?"
"I don't it's just the major rule of gaming. The more enemies there are the closer you are to your goal!"
"This isn't a game!"
"You think I don't know that Rainbow! I've been through worse than just this!" We eventually reached a door. I opened it and walked into the top of The Castle of The Royal Pony Sisters. "Alright we need to get to somewhere safe,"
"How about Ponyville?"
"No he expects us to go there. How about somewhere not local?"
"Dodge junction?"
"That will work. Alright take Twilight for a minute," I changed back into an alicorn and grabbed Twilight with my hooves and held her there. "Which way is dodge?"
"It's behind us,"
"You should follow me," I told Rainbow and flew into the sky. I turned and flew to where Dodge Junction should be. We reached there pretty quick.
"What is going on here?" An earth pony had walked up to me.
"Where is the closest hospital?" I asked them not bothering to look.
"It's right over there," They pointed towards a building not far off.
"Thanks," I ran over to the hospital with Twilight on my back again. "She may have a possible concussion a few lacerations and minor burns! What are you waiting for!" A few nurses came out and took Twilight into the ER.
"Do you need to be treated sir?" A nurse asked me.
"No I'm fine for now," I said Rainbow walked in.
"Treat him I'll stay up," Rainbow said this and they put me on a stretcher and took me into a small clinic. Rainbow followed them and we got talking. "So why is here normal and everywhere else messed up?"
"Because Discord just broke out. If anything he'll wait a little and then spread," I said this and they got me my X-rays and had treated several wounds still on me.
"Sir I'm surprised you're still standing. How is this possible might I ask?" The nurse walked up with a record on every thing I had either scars or wounds that have yet to heal.
"What's going on?" Rainbow asked trying to learn what was wrong. I nodded to the nurse giving my consent.
"Well you have multiple lacerations, burns. your skin looks like it's been hit by lightning your bones also show that. It also looks like you've been flash frozen many times. Your medical record has been updated and you've been treated for what you could and your friend is resting," The nurse said this and I stood up.
"May we see her?" both me and Rainbow said this at the same time.
"Why sure. She won't talk much though," The nurse said this and I knew Twilight wasn't in bad shape.
I walked in and saw Twilight sitting up. "Hello Twilight do you want me to fix you up?"
"No thanks this doesn't hurt that bad. I have to ask two things. What happened to my other friends and why did you call that Discord thing brother?" I didn't want to answer either.
"Your friends are probably in a different dimension and I called discord my brother because he is my brother. When I came to this world with my friends originally we weren't supposed to come here. We were brought here through the intervention of a mysterious entity that called itself the knight of harmony. When it did this we all got separated in the time line of your world. My brother ended up the furthest back of all. When we finally all got together again it had already happened. He had given up his normal form for what you saw back then all for the most power anyone will ever know. He once tried to get me to join him by giving me the powers of chaos and trying to corrupt me. It worked in the end apparently and took Luna with me, but before that I had fought him and in the end I won and my friends and I sealed him away," Shit that took long.
"Alright what are we going to do?" Twilight asked me.
"I want you to focus on the spark. The one you summoned the elements with," She did this and I tracked where it lead. I felt the elements and pulled them to where I was. I only pulled out the 5 besides magic. "Now I want you to focus on your friends," She did this and one by one I pulled them from different dimensions. "You can stop now Twilight," She stopped and I did to as I had almost run out of chaotic magic.
"What just happened?" Rarity asked me.
"Well as hard as Discord tried I'm the master of dimensional screw ups so I know spells that can pull things from different dimensions," I heard a ticking sound beneath the bed now that adrenalin ran out of my system.
"What's that ticking sound?" Oh shit.
"GET OUT!" I summoned magic and pushed everypony out of the room through a large window. The building behind me blew up.
"You didn't think you could escape that easy did you?" My brother flew out of the flames as I changed into a human. "You don't think you can win right?"
"I don't know but if I don't try I'll die!" He snapped his claws and the world felt different.
"Well than different rules for fighting. It's like our favorite DS game." He said this and I knew what game he was talking about. He charged after me and when he hit.
"Show Time!" I yelled this and started the battle.
I pushed him back and blocks appeared above my head. I looked at each one and changed it over to special by thinking of the right D-Pad. I thought of hitting A. It didn't work so I thought of X. That one worked and the block was broken into a menu. I tried the first thing listed.
My body took auto pilot. I ran up and cut him once I went back and cut him again. I then threw my sword into his feet. 'This is the move I used on the Ursa.' I ran up once more and cut him a bunch more times.
After this he broke out. "Well damn brother looks like you got better at these controls! My turn though!" He ran straight towards me. I blocked his first attack with a guard. My mind imagining the button presses as I did. Eventually through the onslaught I found a place to counter and I did. He jumped back to his original spot.
"Damn! When did you get good at fighting Nick?" I asked my brother.
"I took the liberty of watching you while in stone. Everything I've learned I learned to counter you. Like this," He snapped his claws and two things happened. He turned into a human once more and the world felt off yet familiar. "Just think of what we can do together brother. All the places we could rule. I could even give you your friends back!" He went into an evil laugh. "Everything I've done was only because of you! Nothing Can Stop Me!"
I looked back to Twilight ad the others. "You can bring them back?"
"Why yes just join me and kill those ponies! It's not that hard. Everything you've lost I can give back. Anything you wish," He bowed and I looked back at the elements of harmony. I felt something ignite in me once more. Something I lost before I was set in stone.
"That's a load of BULLSHIT! ANYTHING YOU'VE GIVEN ME HAS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE! NOTHING YOU DO WILL EVER FEEL RIGHT AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THAT!" I looked back to him and the elements behind me started to shine.
"This is impossible! How did you break out of my illusion?" He asked me this and everything started to become clear in my head.
"I didn't break free on my own. I feel sorry for you honestly. You'll never understand friendship or love. I finally understand why you do what you do and I'll give you one chance to stop. Do you accept brother?" I asked him and he threw his broadsword into my chest pinning me to the ground.
"FALLEN!" The girls yelled at this and then they stopped when they realized I was lifting myself off the broad sword. After the hilt went through the wound healed immediately.
"When the five are gathered a spark will ignite them and the sixth shall appear. There was a prophecy about these that I never understood before nopony did. Twilight you read this you only you understood after you summoned the power. But I guess I knew all along. There's one more prophecy to these elements. "When the sixth had been summoned another spark shall be seen by one of different ideals. This is the one that shall bring about complete balance that will seem surreal." This power is now to be mine,"
"But you aren't even of this world. How come you are able to gain this power and I'm not!" Nick yelled this and I looked at him saddened
"The prophecy was made before Celestia and Luna came to rule. We were always meant to come to this world. When we stopped the bomb we almost destroyed reality. Brother give me the sixth element and I won't have to hurt you," I asked him nicely.
"Never!" He ran past me and grabbed his broadsword and started to swing at me. Every attack was blocked by a magic shield.
"Brother I am sorry but I warned you," I summoned a keyblade. One of my gifts from fixing the Kingdom Hearts universe. I attacked him and pulled magic from his heart. I threw it over to the others and they changed back into the necklaces and big crown thingy. I walked over occasionally pushing my brother back with magic. I took all the elements and put them on.
I looked like an idiot, but as soon as magic touched my head the elements teleported onto the girls with a bright flash of light. When I reopened my eyes I was standing in a full suit of grey armor.
"My name is Falling Star. Element of loyalty, Prince of Equestria and The Knight Of Balance. Hero of justice. Enemy to you!" I said this and he snapped his claws gaining a set of black armor.
"There's no way you can beat the God Of Chaos!" He yelled this and charged at me. Every swing he used was blocked effortlessly. "You Can't Stop Me!" He started to attack again. "I WILL RULE THESE DIMENSIONS!" He attacked again and I grabbed his sword with one hand.
"If you ever try to rule these dimensions again I will destroy you," I said this calmly and destroyed his sword with my other hand. "Girls Use The Elements And Seal Him!"
"But You'll Get Hit!"
"It'll Pass Right Through Me," I said this and they summoned the powers of the elements. They shot out the rainbows and hit me. My armor absorbed it and amplified the power by ten-thousand fold.
He was turned into stone as his chaotic form.
I stood back up and the world felt as it had when I first stopped him. Except I could feel no rifts to other dimensions. I took off my helmet and looked at my reflection in it. My eyes were green once more and I could no longer feel Kurama's chakra anywhere.
"We Did It!" Rainbow said this and flew into the air.
"We sure did," I said this and walked over to everypony else.
"Your eyes are...!" Twilight said this and stopped short.
"No Twilight. The dimension have been returned to normal. Everything that was here that didn't belong got sucked back," I said this and two lights appeared from the two celestial bodies which were in a perpetual dawn. A third then appeared from the middle.
"Falling Star. You have learned thine lesson from thine past problems. Dost thou wish to stay here in this dimension?"
"Yes and before you leave what is your true name?" I asked the one I knew as the knight of harmony.
"You shall learn at the end of thine years on this plain. I must be off," He said this and dissipated. The other balls of light turned back into Celestia and Luna.
"Fallen it seems you've earned a right to live here. What do you wish to do?" Celestia said this and bowed to me. Everypony that had formed a crowd around had bowed including Twilight and the gang.
"I never had to earn the right. My princess," I said this and bowed as a knight in Ye Olden Times would have. "I would like to do what I have been doing and keep the job of captain of the wonderbolts,"
"I shall accept your terms good sir," She said this and we both started to chuckle until we broke out into full blown rolling on the floor laughing.
"Why did you even invent all this royalty stuff!" I said this in between my laughter.
"I-It was we-when you left!"
"Alright in all seriousness we'd better get back to the castle. After you ma'am," I said this and snapped my fingers. We all were teleported to the castle.
"You Know What We Should Have?" Pinkie said this appearing in the middle of the air and hovering. "A Party!!!!!!!!!!!"
We were immediately all sitting at a table with three throne like chairs. I looked at the throne chairs Celestia, Luna and I were in. Lavish red silk form fitting to all of us embroidered with gold. "I don't want to know how much power she has," I said particularly to nopony.
I heard something from the front and I saw everypony from the town enter the town hall. They all cheered at me. I felt so relieved and held a hand to all. My grey armor shined out and all had stopped. I stood up and took a deep breath. "I should not get all of the praise. In fact I should get none."
"But you!" Twilight said this standing next to the table.
"Because if this had all happened again and nopony was with me. You wouldn't be cheering on a hero. All the praise should go to my friends for without their heart's strength I wouldn't have withstood Discords illusions," Everypony started to cheer on Twilight and the gang as I gestured to them.
After the cheering had died down Celestia, Twilight, Luna, Rainbow and I went to the food table talking along the way. "Oh by the way Fallen have you seen my fourth sock? It has gone missing and I can't seem to find it," Celestia said this and i thought back to the night guard who took her sock when I entered her bedchamber.
"I have no clue Tia," I'll protect him. After all socks are special. I looked to the spread and saw one table that had nopony around it. I saw my most favorite food in the history of ever. "I'm going over there now," They looked at me in horror. "I'm an omnivore. I don't eat ponies though you all are safe," I said this and they went to talking again as I walked over to the table full of meat.
I looked at the table and decided no one was going to eat these until I saw a minotaur walk in. He walked over to me and picked up a plate. "What is your name fellow meat eater?" I asked him knowing this would get his attention.
"Iron Will is my name. Training ponies is my game. Now what is yours?"
"I'm Falling Star," I looked back to see everypony else sitting down. "I've got go. Nice meeting you," I walked back to the table and sat down with a plate of meat and a few blueberry pies. After a few moments I started to tear into the meat like a barbarian.
"That's gross," Rainbow said this and looked in disgust at my display.
I stopped for a second. "I've only eaten one meal after being stuck in stone for 1000 years and I need this part of my food pyramid," I went straight back to eating. Celestia looked at me and immediately looked to Luna then back at me.
"Fallen you do know about the streams that lead to chaos right?" She asked me this.
"What. Are they the rips through different dimensions?" I asked her back.
"They don't just lead to different dimensions. They lead to parallel worlds," She said this and I looked at her as if trying to judge her info by her eyes.
"You can feel them still?" She looked down and nodded.
"I need you to stop them no matter what. The first one is right here too," I looked around the room to spot anything out of the ordinary. I saw another set of armor standing on it's own.
"There's something wrong Tia," I got into a whisper. "Get everypony out of here now," Celestia waved a hoof noting that everyone should follow.
"What's going on Fallen?" Rainbow asked me.
"Bad things. Bad things Rainbow," I stood up and walked over to the set of blue armor. "Why are you able to do this?"
I heard a voice but saw no movement. 'Harmony? I must stop. No Harmony must be stopped.' The voice stood up and grew a lot. Maybe as tall as town hall. The ceiling of the town hall burst up.
"Oh Fuck," It stomped on me. I felt something weird inside. Then I felt good really good. I stood taller than the armor. "SHOWTIME!"
I punched the armor and it flew back towards the tree house. I caught it by the gloves. I swung it around again and again in a circle until I threw it into the air. It flipped mid-air and hit the ground feet first. It picked up it's pace and ran at me sword in hand. It swung the sword at my face and I blocked it with my own katana.
'I will stop Harmony. I will stop you for the sake of this world,' The armor said this and pushed me back. I got ready to counter. It lifted it's hands and summoned a large storm.
"You really sweat the small stuff huh. That's always like you brother," I spoke to the armor and it stopped for a minute.
'You will not trick me again Harmony!' It said this and attacked full force. I was just barely stopping the attacks getting through. I was wondering what he was talking about Harmony. Did he mean the knight of harmony?
He went through and cut off my chest plate and we stopped attacking. The rain around us started to fall after being stopped by our sword swinging. I looked at him and looked back to the ponies.
I felt some weird magic run through me. I had a major realization. I snapped my fingers. All of my armor fell of as I had no right to be the knight of balance anymore. The dimensions were opened once more. My organization XIII cloak on once more. I felt no power rush back though. I was almost defenseless. The armor swung at me again.
I blocked it with the keyblade oblivion. "FALLEN YOU'VE LOST ALL YOUR POWER! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!" Luna yelled at me thinking I was an idiot.
"Luna I don't need my own power. Look at where that left him! Stuck in stone and his emotions running rampant! I need no power if I'll end up with none of my friends! Now Throw me the elements of harmony!" I said this and as I did we both shrank and a golden suit of armor walked out of light.
It took of it's helmet to reveal a skeletal face. "You disappoint me Fallen. You gave up your position of authority for friends," I said this without moving anything.
"I need no authority if it means I lose any chances of getting my friends back!" The other suit of armor looked at the knight of harmony.
'Harmony must be stopped!' It attacked the knight and got promptly pushed back. I took matters back into my hands and snapped my fingers. My brother was released from his stone prison.
"What are you!" He looked from me to the knight in gold. "Harmony you can't be allowed to go on!" He said this and the armor appeared on his now human form.
"You all disappoint me. You did what you were meant to. Now stop and live out your never ending lives," It sounded this out in disgust.
"Not if we stop you! Brother just like our favorite DS game right!" I said this and he changed the world back to the DS games rules.
"LET'SA GO!" He said.
"Okie Dokie!" I responded.
We sounded like idiots but the battle started. The knight didn't get used to the rules yet and wasted his turn by trying to run. "What did you do!?" My brother just nodded and I pulled out a window. "What is that!" We jumped in and started the team attack.
I jumped, He jumped and it repeated differently sometimes with us coming out two at a time. I kept getting faster until multiple images of me and him appeared at random. This ended as one of my images hit his. We were both thrown back to our original places.
The knight ran up and cut through me with a metaphysical blade. I fell onto the ground feeling darkness wash over me. "CHRISTOPHER!"
I woke up as I looked to see the knight rushing back to his spot. I tasted something weird and looked to my brother. "Thanks!"
We bumped fists and ran up to the knight. My brother snapped his fingers and the world was normal again. We cut right through the knight broad sword and keyblade making an X.
The knight looked back and my brothers armor fell off and he lost his chaotic magic. "Not so tough without your magic huh!" His sword disappeared and I looked to him.
"Even if you lose everything you'll always have me next to you brother. Friendship is more powerful than even you Harmony!" I felt all the elements in my hands behind me and broke each jewel in half. Everypony looked in horror. I cast magic on the jewels and light appeared behind me.
"Took you long enough to figure it out Star!" All my friends stood behind me. I looked to my wife and our daughter. The rest of the girls stood behind us and I looked to the knight of harmony.
"Even if you stand for harmony. I can take you on with no magic or powers! With my friends by my sides I'll never lose against the likes of you!" I ran up to the knight of harmony and punched him straight in the face repeatedly and with every punch the amount of people behind me grew. Some light forms the others actual ponies.
I looked back and the knight charged at me. His sword cut through me and I turned. The blade went through flesh and bones but I had no scratches. "How is this possible!" The knight looked in horror at all the forms behind me.
"You've forgotten yourself about the powers that allowed you to become this. With your friends anything is possible. No matter how powerful or how talented you are if nobody is on your side you'll never get past your goal. These are the things I learned because of you. If I never became the knight of balance I wouldn't have seen the power again."
"I AM YOUR GOD!"
"No true god gives a subject the lifeline to affect nothing."
"I AM ALL POWERFUL!"
"You're still one person."
"I'LL DESTROY YOU ALL!"
"AND I AM GOING TO STOP YOU!" I punched him again and pulled out a keyblade. I kicked him back and caused a prison to enchain him. "EVERYBODY GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY!" I held my keyblade to the sky and I felt energy rush through me and then into a ball in the sky. When the ball grew to the size to destroy the knight I swung my keyblade at the prison. He broke out and was hit by the ball of energy. He stopped it for a minute and turned the energy evil. It grew three sizes bigger. I looked at it and I put my hands up this time. I was still gaining the energy and I made a smaller ball. I jumped and threw the small ball of energy at the big one. I hit it perfectly and the big one flew back as it turned good once more.He stopped it like before but he ran out of evil energy and the ball crushed him and blew up.
I woke up on a small platform and saw everypony else on the ground on small spots of ground. I looked over to where the knight was standing a few moments ago. I saw him get up once again and headed for me. I was out of energy and he walked over. Once he was next to me he lifted his sword and missed my head. I felt something dripping on my face. I smelled blood but it wasn't my own. I saw the knight remove a rainbow maned body next to me.
"Well looks like we aren't getting out of this." Rainbow said this and I got stabbed in a lung.
"I don't think so Rainbow. Funny what the face of death will make one do. In the next life I hope I'll find you," I said.
"They weren't there were they?" The knight moved onto everyone that was alive. It would take him a while to get there.
"Nope I couldn't even separate them from the elements if I wanted to. They were just illusions brought because of my hearts resonance to the elements being broken and they aren't broken forever," I said this and got up shakily. Rainbow stood up too and we made our way over to the knight.
"You should stay down and die quicker traitor." He said this and looked to the pony laying on the ground. I saw Twilight and she was cut in two. Her intestines were falling out of her stomach. He moved on.
"I'm sorry about this Twilight but I can't do anything right now. Just sleep and it will be alright." Rainbow and I cried as Twilight closed her hurt eyes.
We walked over to the knights next location to see everypony we knew either decapitated or with their guts on the floor. We kept on crying and the we reached Celestia and Luna. They were both hanging upside down from their back hooves on the sugar-cube corner sign. The words "You shall be last" were etched into their stomachs.
We walked on and saw the knight sitting on the ruined steps of town hall. "This could have been avoided if you followed my instructions. Now you've watched all your friends die I'll let her die too," He pointed at Rainbow and she closed her eyes after so long. I let her fall gently to the floor and I looked up. Tears were all gone from my body.
"Do you have anything to say?"
"What's different about my eyes?" I asked him after interlocking all my fingers.
"Their purple so what?" I realized why he wouldn't kill me yet. His life was attached to mine that's why he let all my friends in the dimension.
"You've given me the rinnengan and now I can use the outer paths because you're keeping me alive," I activated the last jutsu I would ever use. Everypony was back to life including all my friends. In the elements or not.
"You did it!" Everypony looked at me and saw I was still dying. The knight of harmony had passed away because I broke his enchantment. My life was tailored to his and his mine.
"Somepony heal Him!" Twilight and the others yelled this.
"No! He can no longer be healed." The girls looked at me and started to cry after hearing Celestia say that.
"Why Not!"
"Because that's what I did Twilight. I gave up my life for everybody. Nothing can stop this I will die. But at least I accomplished my goals. I got everyone out of the elements and when I die all the universes will be bordered off because nobody will have anymore chaotic magic." I said this and started to feel woozy. "There is nothing you can do but to let me go. Forget about me go find yourself somebody. Let me be lost to history. Everything will be normal again. If you can Celestia," I looked up to her almost losing myself to the darkness. "Find a nice hill and bury me under a tree. Just remember if you see any falling stars. I'm watching over you." I closed my eyes knowing that this was the end of my life and there is no coming back. Short of destroying the world boundaries once more.
*/// Twilight's POV \*
I watched him give up his life and close his eyes. "Celestia can we grant him his wish?"
"I will find a suitable place." My teacher said this and I looked to her.
"I'll do that. Strike him from all records. Everything about him," I looked at her and she nodded at me and flew away with Luna. The girls looked at me and I picked him up slowly with my magic. Everypony parted and I walked to the only hill I knew of that fit his request.
I walked up onto the hill and saw a bag laying next to it. I opened the bag and shuffled through the strange things that were in there until I came upon a letter. I opened it and read. 'Dear Twilight and Rainbow. To answer one thing I used chaotic magic to get this written and here. When you read this I'll be dead and my soul gone from the world. Almost Nothing can save me. I'm the only one who could've brought me back. If you pull out a metallic rectangle and enter the password: Loyalty you can listen to my music. Anything listed MLP is related to you guys. If you feel alone just listen to a song and remember I'll watch over you. Tell my wife I love her and tell everypony I'll see them in 50-70 years. Sincerely -Christopher aka Falling Star.'
I put the note down and started to dig. The other girls started to after they walked up. Once we were finished everypony showed up and we gave him a proper burial. After the burial I walked up to his friends from the elements. "He told me to say goodbye for him," I said and they all looked up to me.
A brown pegasus stallion wearing armor spoke up first. "He's always so lazy. Couldn't give a proper good bye,"
An orange earth pony colt spoke next. "I never thought this would happen to him of all people,"
Next was a white unicorn filly. "If only we talked again,"
Next was the only one I had any clue about. "If only he could have been with us all these years. We all missed you for one-thousand years. We'll meet again in the afterlife though. I'll miss you." His wife said this and held a hoof to the sky. One single star fell to the ground far away.
"He'll miss us all. but it's time to move on. We've got to get back into the elements mom," His daughter walked up and so did one other pony we didn't know about.
"Come on you all. It's time to go back," They started to walk towards the elements.
I looked at the grave sadly and I read what was written again.
'Most loyal and dependable of person to grace this planet. Great friend, excellent hero, and most loved creature by everyone in the town.'
I walked back to town in hopes of finding a way to bring him back.
