Cry of the Falling Star

Interlude – Otaku
Haruhi’d been talking about it the whole week, hell, even he was prompted to watch several episodes and before they knew it, he and Haruhi ended up doing a Gurren Lagann marathon in the clubroom.

The day after, she quickly resorted to watch more anime and the club meetings stuck at reviewing the latest Death Note episodes. Then came the My Little Pony and he and Koizumi declined to come to the clubroom whatsoever for like four days, while Nagato stayed in total indifference and Mikuru because she was forced to.

Nagato then contacted them that Haruhi finished season two and that they could come back. They did not have a single suspicion of what was going to happen next.

“What the hell are you doing Koizumi!? And why the hell are we ponies?” The earth pony angrily shouted at him for bashing the alicorn in the head.

“I don’t think Haruhi needs to see all this, don’t you agree?” He replied and put the rock down.

“Yeah, but still… So where the hell are we?” He looked at Twilight first, then to Kamina and Light. It became clear on his face that realized what had happened and he immediately facehoofed. “Are you serious…?”

“Aah, yes, it looks like our little goddess manifested herself again. It is possible that she created a world where her latest hobbies take place. That would also explain why no closed spaces appeared for the past few days, even though the theme of the things she’d been watching would set them to ravage.” Koizumi speculated, holding his chin. “And I guess I’m right.” He stated as he played around with a red triangle he caught in his other hoof. “And her thinking is also what keeps us ponified it seems.”

“Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Wait just a minute. What the hell are you guys talking about!?!” Kamina intervened, finally snapping out of his surprise.

The two colts looked back at him, unable to respond. A small figure behind them got up on her feet and answered monotonically, while she gently straightened her light violet hair.

“Our conversation spans upon the presented situation, as you might’ve concluded as well. We are currently located in a world that Suzumiya Haruhi may or may not have created as a result of her otaku tendencies. I haven’t been able to establish a connection to the Integrated Data Entity, meaning we have surely exited our own galaxy. This current dimension may have been created or found by Suzumiya Haruhi subconsciously to dispose of her negative feelings as an alternative to closed spaces on Earth.”

“Sorry to interrupt you, but a lot of peo-… ponies died here, and you’re telling me it’s because some school girl went rampant?” Light looked her directly in the eyes.

“Really?! Well if Haruhi started this, she can fix it right?” Kyon spouted out, still aggravated.

“I don’t believe waking Haruhi to a world full of ponies and telling her of her powers is a viable solution.” Koizumi gave him a smile of rejection.

“Maybe not Haruhi, but…” he looked back. “Nagato. Could you do that? You know, the thing you did when you stole Haruhi’s powers and changed the world. Can you use that to fix all this?”

“I am capable of reforming this world the way you presented it, yes.” She said, barely moving her lips. “Please stand aside.”

She waved her hand and a link of green data began flowing from Haruhi to her. This ended after a few seconds, and she waved her second hand in green flash. All the red data in the room and the blue data on the bodies of others disappeared in an instant. Twilight saw eight humans fair and square standing right in front of her.

“Releasing failsafe data acquired from Friendship is Magic video files.” At that moment, Nagato started speaking so fast it became incoherent. Twilight Sparkle blinked and everypony around her dispersed to nothing. The palace room was shining as it always had been, and she once more felt the soft touch of the carpet on her hooves.

“Well, I guess that’s it. We’ve got to do something with her I suppose.” Koizumi pointed at Haruhi, and he and Kyon lifted her up and went through the portal. Terrified Mikuru followed them quickly.

“The portal should deliver everyone of you to your respective worlds.” Nagato phrased out.

“Wait. Just like that?” Twilight yelled in confusion.

“I guess yeah, just like that.” Kamina kneeled before her and offered her his fist. “Bros forever?” She pounded it with her hoof, still asking by her look.

“So this is the end? After all of this?” She shouted after him as he walked away.

“It seems like it. All the connections from Wingesburg’s been cut off.” Light replied. Kamina and Nia entered the warp.

“We haven’t had any business here anyways, so we’re out of here while we got the chance. Your world has been taken care of. We are all that remains. Well, see you around Twilight Sparkle.” He waved as he set off for the portal. Twilight threw a glance after him, not knowing what to feel. As she followed him to the end, Light suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Oh, what the hell, why not!” He muffled and, turning around, surprised Twilight Sparkle with an unexpected kiss on her lips. She was firstly caught off guard, but then prolonged the kiss as much as she could. Kissing a human wasn’t bad at all, and that simple thought made her giggle.

Light rose up again, his cheeks only a little red. “I’m off!” He called, visibly upset, and walked inside the portal.

Nagato nodded and entered as well. Twilight couldn’t help but feel this abrupt ending was somehow manipulated by the calm human. The warp closed and cleared itself into a slow resolving fog. Twilight’s head became dizzied and she fell to the ground, closing her eyes, seeing nothing more than darkness.
