The Split in Reality

Chapter 4: Revelations

I waited and waited. On my knees. Then I heard hoof steps behind me. Who ever it was, I didn't care. All I knew was that this was probably going to be the end of me. I had at least hoped for one more goodbye.

A week passed and there was still no reports on Chrysalis or her hive's whereabouts. Many thought that they had disappeared never to be seen again but deep down everypony knew that wasn't true. The Changelings would return sooner or later and the battle waged would leave everypony devastated. Like the old saying goes, "One shall rise and one shall fall". Sadly, I was the one to fall and Chrysalis was the one to rise.

Two weeks after my death they held my funeral. Many ponies came from far and wide even Sunset and her friends came. Everypony was distressed and sad. They knew it would never be the same because like I said many, many years ago, "When a hero falls, only more will follow". That was what they were scared of the most. Their own demise.

After everypony arrived, the funeral started. So many sad faces where in the crowd. Many of which my friends would probably never see again. The weirdest part of it all was that on top of a hill was Queen Chrysalis looking down on the funeral. She wasn't there to crash it or anything, she was there to pay her respects to her fallen foe. Although she would never see me again, we would meet again one last time before it was over. I'd make sure of it.

Celestia was the first to speak. "Welcome my little ponies to probably one of the saddest days Equestria has see since my Sister turning into Nightmare Moon and Princess Twilight turning into Twilight Terror."she started off, "Today we are here to morn the loss of a great hero. Maybe one of the greatest heroes Equestria has ever seen. Like many things in life, there is a time for things to fade away. Thomas faded away a bit to early. We will forever be in debt to him. He has done so much for us, and for Equestria."

Celestia stood there for a bit remembering some good times. She then took her seat and Luna took her place.

"Hello everypony. Today shouldn't be about morning him. We should celebrate his accomplishments and his life. Funny enough it was me to be the first to help him but through finding friends among him, they were able to save this land countless times. He is a hero Equestria will never forget and the entirety of Equus is safe because of him and his friends.

She thought back to the time Tom brought his friends from Earth here for a visit.

"Come on guys let's go." I said to my friends as I opened a portal.

"Well YOLO. Right guys." Dillon said getting nods from the others as they followed me through the portal.

Meanwhile in Equestria

"Whats taking them so long I can't wait to meet them." said Pinkie bouncing up and down

"Hold up Pinkie you know that Tom said it would take a while." said Twilight as Luna and Celestia landed behind them

Just then a portal appeared out of no where and out came me with my friends who remained human.

"GREETINGS PEOPLE OF EARTH, ME AND MY SISTER ARE EXCITED TO MEET THY ACQUAINTANCE, FRIENDS OF THE GREATEST HERO OF EQUESTRIA" said Luna using the royal Canterlot Voice making my friends temporarily lose there hearing and fly into a nearby building

"Ah my ears." said Dillon

"What. Did you say A sack of potatoes." said Keon

"That is one great set of pipes." said Grant

While Luna looked sheepish. Everypony else present started laughing at my friends predicament.

As Luna finished thinking back to that time she shed a tear. She then took her sweet before the damn broke. Next up was Twilight.

As an emotional Twilight went up to the stage she could of swore she saw me standing there smiling at her. As she got into position to make her eulogy she brought out some cue cards.

"Greetings ponies and friends. Today is a sad day but Thomas wouldn't want us to keep our heads in the gutter. He would want us to strive and celebrate our memories we made with him. Like Thomas said the future is never set in stone. So maybe there is hope, and just maybe a silver lining under all of this. I say this on my friends behalf because they are in a difficult space right now. As she closed her eyes she remembered the best days and the time I had the worst mental brake down because of her.

"That's why I think Twilight shouldn't be around my technology." I said

"Well that makes sense. Except it's Twilight what else would you expect." said Spike

"Elementary my dear Spike." I said

"I still don't get that reference Tom." said Spike as me, Spike, and the girls (except Twilight) reached my house.

"In due time Spike, in due time." I said pushing open the door

As me, Spike, and the girls entered my house we found Twilight on the ground with my computer. She was dismantling the entire thing.

"Uh. uh. uh" I said

"Oh. Hi Thomas. Hi Spike. Hey girls. How are you." said Twilight nonchalantly.

"Uh. Uh. Uh." I said again

"Um Twilight. I think you broke him." said Rainbow

"Why do you say that." replied Twilight

"Well maybe it has something with Tom sitting the corner rocking back an forth and muttering, 'uh. uh. uh', over and over again sugar-cube." said AJ

True to her word I was in the corner doing exactly as he said. Then Twilight burst out laughing. Then Spike burst out laughing as well, while I was left to my mental breakdown. Then the rest of the girls burst out laughing.

As she went back to reality she noticed her friends smiles and tears. A beautiful speech for a beautiful friend. A friend they would remember forever.

Finally it was Sunset's turn. She got up and walked to the podium. It wasn't that long ago she had spoken to me. It was about a week before my death. Unlike everypony else Sunset wasn't a complete mess. If she was sad, she didn't show it.

"Hello everypony, and welcome to maybe one of the saddest days of our lives. Today we celebrate the life of friend dear to all of us. If it wasn't for Twilight, her friends human counterparts, and Thomas. I wouldn't be here today. Like a great person once said, "In real life the hero never gives up at what they do.". That hero was Thomas and no matter what happened in life. After his family was killed and after all the tragedy and friendships he made and lost, he never gave up being the hero. He will always be one. Through out time he will be remembered and when our time comes. We will meet again." said Sunset as she then proceeded to take her seat.

After the funeral ended Twilight's human friends had said their goodbyes and were now leaving. Sunset had graduate a couple weeks ago and had decided to stay in Equestria, she told her friends that she would come visit soon. After all, friendships last for ever.

Once Sunset was sure that it was only the Princesses and Twilight's friends present she quickly puled all of them into the throne room with Spike in tow. As they reached the throne room in Twilight's Castle, Sunset quickly locked the doors.

"Ok everypony. Thomas isn't dead. It is time to activate His last contingency, TSR." said Sunset to all the shocked ponies and one dragon in the room.
