A Visitor From Beyond

"No, my dear, I believe YOUR time has come." Ben replied with a smile on his face.

Celestia was confused. "Oh, really?" She asked. "how do you plan on accomplishing that?"

In response, Ben reached into his pack and removed a large, white scroll with a gold trim. "With this! The Elder Scroll! A source of unmatched power!"

The silence was as thick as butter in a freezer. "Uh... what's that?" Twilight asked, puzzled.

Ben's confidence faded fast. He looked down, sighed, looked at Twilight, looked at Celestia, and sighed again. "That's not important. What is important is that I shall cast you down!"

Celestia snickered. "I doubt that."

Ben smiled matter-of-factly and held the scroll out in front of Celestia. He grabbed the paper and unrolled it. As he did so, a blue aura surrounded him. He began to read the scroll in a loud voice, "Dea sancta solis uti potestate superiori volumine mittat te in mare, naufrago tempus. Et hoc, ultus sum in hoc libro formam corporalem mittentes a terra. Mine, potentiam maiorem volumen ipsum non potest facere!"

Suddenly, the aura around Ben grew to tremendous strength. Soon, the scroll in his hands started to glow, and a bright white beam shot out of it aimed at the princess. When it stuck, she let out a blood-curdling scream. The mane six covered their eyes to shield from the sheer intensity. Ben continued to hold the scroll valiantly. After a moment, it was all over. Celestia was gone. The scroll was gone. All that remained there was Ben and the Mane Six. Ben said, "It's just been revoked."

And so, the story of Ben, the human in Equestria, the Visitor from Beyond, came to a close. The vast kingdom of Equestria was forever changed.

The most prominent change was Ben's ascension to leadership. Due to Celestia's immortality and godhood, she decided to enact a law that states that when a princess is defeated, the victor shall rise to the throne. Ben did just that. As soon as he took office, he made immense changes. He expanded trade with the surrounding nations, promoted public safety and welfare, and made Equestria a better place to live, one step at a time. The masses came to adore him.

The Mane Six were overjoyed that their new friend was now their ruler. Ben and them came to be good friends, and they learned something about friendship they would've never knew had he not showed up - even someone who is your worst enemy can become your best friend.

Celestia, cast into the sea of time, had a lot of 'time' on her hands to think about how she'd escape. The power of the Elder Scroll had removed her divinity but her immortality remained. She vowed to return someday, but nobody knows if that someday will ever come.

Luna was glad to knew that Ben was such a capable ruler, and served at his side with great pleasure. After what her sister tried to do, Luna got over Celestia being gone rather fast. As well as being at Ben's side while he ruled over Equestria, the two grew rather close.

...And so Ben, the man who cheated death when he came to the world of Equestria, cheated death once again. As ruler of the Solar Empire, best friends with the Elements of Harmony, and becoming quite intimate with Princess Luna, Ben was quite pleased with himself. He had no regrets of destroying the Elder Scroll, the only tool he could've used to escape. His vampirism gave him the immortality he needed to rule over Equestria forever more...

The End
