Harry Osborn: Rebirth

A heavy feeling fell over me. Its too similar to what happened on Earth so long ago.

"Guess that's just how it is." I said to myself quietly,  before jumping down. When I fell on the lowest level of the airship, I dove under, putting myself under it, so it appeared on my shoulders. Wings, please don't let me down this time. Slowly, I took the weight of the airship on me. My spine screamed and shouted, as sweat poured down my head and chest.

Balancing on my speed mode, I made my wings flap as fast as possible, creating little hurricane under them. But it worked. The ship slowed its fall, but never stopped.

I looked down and saw ponies underneath. I couldn't let them down. Not now.

A crazy idea came into my head. It was impossible. But I think I could do that.

"YEEAAAARRGGHHH!!!" I screamed, slowly moving to the city's edge. Meter by meter, slowly, I moved.

My wings were aching badly. I felt the bones bend and repair over and over again. Each meter drained my energy. Slowly and painfully, the edge came closer and closer.

You can do it, Harry! You can do it!

"Harry, what a hay are you doing?!" Sunset's scream came through my head.

"Sorry... Suny! It's the only way to save the city!" I told her.

I felt that she knew what I was doing. She just didn't want to accept it.

"Harry, no! It's to dangerous! You might die!"  She screamed, crying.

My heart ached stronger than my wings did.

A wall. I barely flew over it. No more houses where under me. Just an empty space that went all the way down.

"Sunset?" I could barely hold. I had just few seconds.

"Yes?!" She screamed. She knew. She knew there was very little possibility I would survive that.

"You have beautiful eyes.." I said as the last drop of energy left my body.

"Bye..." I added, letting go. The air rushed through my mane, as I flew down, unable to move away from the airship.

A scream filled my ears and agony filled my heart.

A bump hit me in a spine, crushing all the air out of me. I closed my eyes not to see the ugly airship fall on me. The moment when I expected a collision... Nothing happened.

About to fall apart, I opened my eyes. The airship hanged millimeters from my face. It glee med with dark blue light. Next second, it got shrunken by magic and thrown away.

A bright blue angel landed by me and I felt her whisper:

"Don't die on me, boy. Sunset will kill me if you do."

It wasn't Luna's voice. It was younger and higher. My bones, shattered by the fall impact slowly came together, moving the nerves and muscles away from their way.

Blood came to my mouth and coughed with the little bits of air left in my lungs.

"Hooouuuu boy... Let me help you a little." The same voice said. My eyes were out of focus and I didn't see my savior's face. She came closer to me and helped me to breath with a mouth to mouth way. A warm air rushed into my lungs. They were crushed by the ribs, but it was getting better with more air rushing into them. Slowly, I could feel my body again. My heart gave a beat after a beat, gracefully speeding up.

"Ughh.." I tried to say something, but it caused more blood coming to my mouth. The pony parted, spitting my blood out of her mouth.

"Easy there!" She said laughing. It became significantly harder to breathe without her, but now I could more or less manage that.

"...s..so...sorry..." I murmured, coughing blood again.

"Shut up, will you?" She said. "I'm trying to save you here."

My eyes finally came more or less into focus. I saw a dark blue pony on top of me.

But she wasn't exactly a pony. She had a weird bat-liked ears, slightly visible fangs and star shaped irises in her light gold eyes. An idea of vampires came to my mind, but I quickly rejected it. I doubt the vampire would save a ninety percent dead pony.

"..ho...a...ou.." I forced out of myself, still unable to speak properly.

"I said shut up." She said smiling and put some cloth into my mouth. "It will hurt a little. Try not to scream to loud." She warned, ripping something out of me.

A shockwave of pain went through me, but I bit the cloth, not letting any sounds to escape. Not in front of the lady.

"One more." She said serious, repeating the same process again and again.

Few minutes later, a wave of pain washed over me, as she ripped pith the last thing.

"And.. Done!" She said, a brushing a hoof against a sweating forehead. "Sorry for that, but it was necessary. You had glass and metal fragments all over your body. I mean All over your body." She gave me a playful glance and added "Looks like your friends are coming. I'd better get going. Don't want any awkward questions from my princess." And on that note, she swiftly jumped into the shadows, disappearing in them.

My head aches a little. When my friends came closer, I recognized Luna, Peter, Celestia and Sunset.

Sunset, without saying a word ran to me, slapping me in a face straight away. It burned a little. But the slap hurt my heart. But what broke me down was when she fell on me, holding tightly. Choking on tears she asked me

"Why? Why did you do that? I could've lost you! I almost lost you, you idiot!" A wave of new tears came down on her.

I hugged her back, holding tightly and quietly whispered to her ear:

"Because I love you. And if it meant me dying over a thousand times to save you, I wouldn't hesitate a second." I spoke. Truth is always truth and it cannot be misunderstood.

"I... I.. I love you too, Harry! But promise you will not do that again!" She scoffed and cried, but that was the one thing I could not promise her.

"I promise you that sacrificing my life will save you, I will do that without a single hesitation." I softly whispered into her ear.

She cried a little more, but then her breaths became more equal and instead of crying she breathed softly into my fur. She was sound asleep. Again, she fell asleep on me. Not that I mind, but I'm not the best pillow.

"Looks like our girl is sound asleep again." Celestia spoke with a mothers smile. "Thanks, Harry." You saved us all, but most importantly, you prevented Chrysalis's attack and saved Canterlot from complete destruction." She spoke calmly, but I heard an admiration in her voice.

"I have to correct the past sins of mine somehow. And this is the smallest I should do." I spoke openly, but quietly, not to wake up Sunset.

Princesses smiled and Peter gave me a short nod.

"To correct the past sins of yours will require you to do more than that, but it's a good start." He smiled.

His smile gave me the confidence. Which, however was taken away almost immediately by the Luna's glaze.

"You did a great job, Harry. But the war is far from an end. You might've defeated Chrysalis, but it's not for long. She misfired this time, but next time we might not be so lucky." Her voice was low and cold. "If you'll excuse me, there is a city in ruins." And a very next moment she disappeared in a flash.

Celestia shook her head, but said nothing.

After a pause in which just Sunset's measured breathing could be heard, Celestia finally said:

"Peter. I will teleport you to Twilight now. Tell her to come to the city. It's urgent."

"Yes, auntie! I'll be right back." Peter seemed to be eager to say something, but in a flash he was gone.

"God, he truly has a long tongue." Celestia laughed a bit and then she spoke to me.

"Harry. It was a hard day for both of you, so let me help you a little."

I wanted to go against it, but Sunset murmured something in a sleep, bringing a smile upon my face.

"That would be great, my highness."

She gave me a nod and next moment we reappeared in a bedroom. Celestia was gone.

I put Sunset on the bed and stroking her mane, I put a duvet onto her.

She murmured something in her sleep, but I laid down by her. Hugging lightly with my wing, I laid closely to her spine. And the moment my head touched the pillow, I crashed into a deep sleep.
