ESF: The Return of Comet Nebula

   "Galaxy?" I called. "Galaxy?!" I called again. Comet chuckled. "What's so funny, you bastard?" I demanded. Comet looked up at me.

    "You're too late, Cryssy. You didn't fix the past in time." He chuckled. I gulped. Just as Comet was about to laugh, a voice made his face turn white as bone.

     "Comet!!!!" The voice sounded pissed. We all turned around, and gasped. Standing in the doorway of the back room was a pony I'd never thought I'd see again. Comet made a sound that sounded like he was scared.

     "Galaxy!" I cried as I ran to my husband. He caught me and held me tight. "Oh God, I didn't think I'd see you again!" I admitted. Galaxy hugged me and kissed my forehead gently.

      "I'm not going anywhere, Crys." He smiled, then smirked a little. "It was you, wasn't it? You were that mare I saw that told me to make friends with you." He asked. I gasped. My husband nodded. "Yes, I remember." He told me. I blushed. "Crys, thank you. Without your future self, I wouldn't have become great friends with you." Galaxy admitted. I smiled and kissed my husband. Comet made a sound of disgust. "Oh, don't you start!" Galaxy said, advancing towards his brother. Comet gulped.

       "Galaxy." Comet chuckled nervously. "I didn't think you'd actually come back." He admitted. Galaxy stared at Comet.

       "You tried to kill me." Galaxy said. Comet gulped again. "You selfish, obnoxious little bastard!" Galaxy exclaimed each time he whacked his brother into a wall. Comet got up and coughed, blood trickling from his mouth. Just as Comet was about to go for an attack, Valerium tackled him. Mocha gasped.

        "Go! I've got him!" Val said before he felt dizzy. We all gasped, for we could see why. Comet had sunk his fangs in Val's neck, draining his blood and vampire essence. Val felt dizzy and collapsed.

         "Val!" Mocha exclaimed, running to her husband. Joy, Paradise, Breeze, and Soul all gasped. "Val?" Mocha asked. Val had just enough strength left to whisper something to Mocha before he passed out, motionless and unmoving. Mocha wiped a tear from her face and growled.

          "Alright, bitch, bring it on!" She shouted as she fired a blast at Comet, impacting him into a wall. Comet groaned and flew in for another attack. Before he could pin me to the ground, Galaxy tackled his brother and shattered the window outside. Galaxy faced his brother in the street, thunder clouds looming.

           "Here we are again, Galaxy. Face to face one last time. Only last time, you could barely beat me." Comet chuckled. I wanted to help my husband, but we were all too scared to move. Galaxy adjusted his stetson.

           "I'm not afraid anymore." Galaxy said. Comet was confused. "You heard me. I am tired of living in your shadow, Comet! Always scared of you! Now that I know what true fear's really like, I'm not afraid of you anymore." Galaxy admitted. Comet looked at his brother with a skeptical eye. He glanced and me and smirked.

            "While that may be true, brother of mine, you still have one fatal flaw." Comet chuckled. Galaxy gasped, but too late. Comet darted for me inside the Cafe. I yelped as Comet grabbed me and put a blade to my neck. "Ah ah! One move, Crystal dies." He chuckled. Galaxy was pissed.

            "Comet, take your hooves off my wife." He demanded. Comet took the blade and pointed it to Galaxy.

            "Do I have to kill you too, brother?" He asked. Castiel threw a blade towards Galaxy and my husband caught it, spinning it like he knew how to fight. Comet chuckled. "Well then." He laughed, throwing me aside. Mocha caught me as Galaxy fought his brother. Galaxy slashed at Comet, causing Comet to bleed, but the wounds were healing quickly. "Vampire, remember?" Comet chuckled.

             "You won't win!" Galaxy promised as he slashed upwards, cutting Comet's left eye. Comet let out a cry of pain and dropped his blade. Soul, Sunset, Joy, Paradise, and Breeze gasped. Comet opened his left eye, which had healed, but now, there was a huge gash over it. Comet spat blood. He picked up his blade and clashed it with Galaxy's disarming him. Galaxy fell back on his flank and gulped. Comet cackled.

              "Farewell, brother." Comet said as he stabbed downward. We heard a plunging sound, but it wasn't Galaxy. Comet gasped, letting his grip give. Mocha stared at him hard, took the blade out, and pointed it back at Comet. "Oh, yes. Very clever, my dear." Comet chuckled. Mocha growled.

                "Get....out.....of my Cafe." She demanded. Comet nodded.

                "Oh, don't worry. I was just leaving." He told us. He grabbed a cup filled with a blue liquid. Castiel had put it there, knowing Comet would grab it. "Just tell me one thing, Mocha. Can a heart still break after it's stopped beating? Hmm?" He asked, chugging down the liquid. Just as he walked towards the door, Comet hacked and coughed, his fangs disappearing. He heard a thumping noise in his chest. "Is that....my heart?! I'm.....alive?!!!!" Comet gasped in horror, yelping when Quillton grabbed him. His face told us he was going to enjoy this.

                 "Not for much longer......" Quill said in a sing-song voice. Sunset cackled, grabbing Comet. Comet struggled as the pair took him down to the basement. Galaxy hugged me and Melody.

                 "I'm just glad you guys are alright." My husband said.

                 "Me too, honey." I smiled, kissing him gently. Melody hugged Galaxy tight, not wanting to let go. Weeks passed and Comet was now in the dungeons of Canterlot, under the heaviest guard. Quillton stood next to Galaxy, watching Comet pace around.

                  "You should be glad, buddy." The white pony said. "You didn't kill him." He added. Galaxy sighed.

                   "I wanted to, but me and Comet are two sides of the same coin, apparently. One of us dies, the balance upsets." Galaxy explained. "Castiel said thank you for helping him take down my brother. Quillton, you'll never guess what Cass offered me." He added. Quillton looked at Galaxy. "Castiel's going back to Heaven to bring Crimsy back." My husband smiled. "He said it wasn't her time to go yet, so she's getting another chance." He added.

                     "Well buddy, I'm happy for you. Plus, now that Comet's defeated, I can focus more on my work. Oh, and about Mocha, I checked her pulse earlier. Why she didn't die when Comet stabbed her? Thanks to Mochy being part vamp, she can't die, but, she doesn't have a pulse exactly." Quillton exlained. Galaxy sighed.

                     "Well, at least that's an advantage for Mochy." My husband smiled. Quillton smiled too. "Come on buddy, I'd say we could use a drink from the Cafe." Galaxy said. His best friend nodded as the two pals headed to Mocha's Cafe, where myself, Melody, Mocha, Soul, Joy, Breeze, Paradise, and Crimson were waiting for them. Crimson and Galaxy hugged one another, both of them happy. I giggled. I was happy my husband had his sister back. Galaxy sat next to me, wrapping a hoof around me. I leaned my head on his shoulder and smiled, looking up at Galaxy.

                       "I love you, Galaxy, so, so much." I told him. He smiled.

                        "I love you too, Crys." He said, kissing me gently. Equestria was at peace once again, for now anyways. However, our next adventure, let's just say it gets crazy...........
