The Second Chance
Code Blue, I repeat we have a Code Blue
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFlurry was pointing in which direction I had to go to get to the gardens. When we finally got there we heard this from a noticeably angry Luna. “FLURRRRYYY! DAANNNYY! I WILL FIND YOU AND RETRIEVE THE ROLLS OF CINNAMON!” I looked up at Flurry heart and one meme was going through my mind.

We freaking booked it. Well I did. Flurry was clinging to my head while holding the plate piled with Cinnamon rolls with her magic. It has yet to occur to me that Flurry had a lot more control over her magic then a normal unicorn foal. Of course my knowledge of said subject was only based off the Cake Twins.
We took random twists and turns to hopefully make our route as confusing as possible. Then I realized, ‘Tracks'. I stopped and looked at the dirt behind us. My footsteps were very noticeable in the dirt. “Uh oh Flurry, I don't think that we can hide for long. Unless you know a way to clear away our tracks.”
Flurry seemed to think for a moment then she got an ‘Idea!' face. She spread her wings and pointed at them. I quickly caught on. “Great thinking Flurry!” I grabbed her off my head and held her so she can flap her wings and blow away the dirt. We did this till I found us in a pretty well hidden part of the maze.
“Okay Flurry, I think we got a good enough of a spot.” I sat her down in my lap and she set the plate on my legs. She levitated a roll while I held one in my hand. “Cheers!” I bumped my roll against hers and we took a bite. We continued this until the plate was empty. Flurry’s belly was a little bloated while I was rubbing my filled stomach.
“Oh man, that was goood. You know, we make a pretty good team. How about it? Want to be partners in sweets crimes?” I watched as she slowly nodded her head before yawning and laying her head on my exposed stomach. I pulled her in and started to fall asleep with her held to my chest.
Only to wake up to the angry puffs of air from a very irritated night princess. Before she could yell I put a finger to my lips and ‘Shhh'd' her. I pointed down to the sleeping Flurry Heart and I could see Luna’s anger melt at the adorable sight. She looked up at me back to her angry expression.
She then proceeded to whisper shout. “This is not over, do you know how long you've been gone! We've had to send the royal guards to search for you. Cadence and Shining Armor think that you have foal napped Flurry Heart! Also I will get you back for stealing the rolls of cinnamon. Though I now see you had an accomplice.”
“I prefer partner in sweet stealing. Though, if you want I can add you to our little group. What do you say Luna? Want to steal some sweets? You know your sister has a major sweet tooth.” I said trying to lure Luna to my side. It worked. Luna thought about it for a bit then a mischievous grin started to form on her muzzle. She nodded and there we formed the Sweet Thieves.
I looked at the sky and noticed it was about noon. I shaked Flurry awake and she yawned before trying to curl up tighter to my chest. It was too adorable! I tried again and she rubbed her eyes and blinking them to become awake. I held her in my arms and stood up again. “Hey Luna shouldn't you be asleep for tonight? After all me and you are going to be together for tonight aren't we?”
I could see the bags under her eyes but she tried to wave it off. “Nay young Dan-*yawn* -l we can be awake hours… into… the… zzz.” She fell asleep standing up. She started to lean to one side but I saw this and quickly caught her with my free arm. I wasn't that strong but apparently Luna was lighter than she appeared.
She was by no means fat, in fact she was pretty athletic. I could feel the strong muscles beneath her fur along her stomach. I carefully put Flurry on my head and used both arms to pick up Luna with both arms. I carried her like I would my brother and put her head on my shoulder. She nuzzled into my neck and wrapped her wings around me.
‘Well this is just great. I'm lost in a maze with two princesses. And the one that's awake can't even talk yet.’ I have great memory but I couldn't remember the twists and turn I took. The maze was grown so that even Celestia couldn't look over it without flying. Even with Flurry on my head she couldn't look over the walls of the maze.
I sighed and stuck to one side of the wall till we got to a crossroads. I went through and returned to the right wall. I continued this until I gazed upon something in the dirt. My shoe prints! I walked in the opposite direction that they were going and not even 5 minutes later I found my way out.
I was greeted by a platoon of royal guards. “Uhh, hi guys?” They remained silent. One of the pegasi of the group flew away somewhere but other than that, nothing. I sat down on the ground and waited for something to happen. I decided to investigate Luna's mane. I wiggled my arm out form Luna's wing hug and started to mess with Luna's mane.
The only thing I can compare it to is if that water was solid but still held it liquid characteristics. I waved my hand through a group of stars and they swirled like they were in water. But when they stopped they stayed in the same place and looked like swirls. I proceeded to make her mane look like a painting I remember.
Once done I looked proudly at my work. But my worshiping was cut short by an angry sounding Cadence. “DA-” I loudly shushed her and pointed at the sleeping Luna. Her expression softened when she saw the sleeping Luna and Flurry Heart messing with my hair.
She still looked pissed at me though. “Will you kindly explain what you did and why?” She said in a whispered shout.
“I honestly found that it would be hilarious, that and I could begin the transformation of making Flurry a prankster. With her cuteness and my… human-ness, we could prank anyone with ease! Now I would like to get Luna to bed if you don't mind. We have an entire night ahead of us.” I said as I stood back up. I walked over to Cadence then crouched.
“Could you take Flurry Heart please?” Cadence lifted her off of my head and onto her back. Flurry wasn't all smiles at that and raised her hooves for my hair. She tried saying something but came out as gurggles and other baby noises. I stood back up and walked for the castle entrance.
It was twenty minutes before I found my way back to Luna's room. Now while Luna was light to me, carrying anything after a while could become heavier as your arms became more tired. Right now Luna felt like she weighed a couple hundred pounds. I briskly walked over to her bed and tried laying her down. I somehow got her to release me from her wings.
I left the room and walked in a random direction. I let my wander a bit to think about my situation. ‘Let's do a quick recap. Got pulled into Equestria because Luna saw my memories. I now have a plan to make Flurry my prankster partner in crime. I'm pretty sure Cadence is going to give me an earful later on. Now if this is anything like the FanFictions I've written then something should go wrong anytime now.’
As if fate had read my mind I accidentally bumped into a pony. I looked down to see the last pony anypony wants to even be in the same room as. Prince ‘Fucking Asshole’ BlueBlood. He looked at me with disgust. “Ugh, what a horrid creature, probably one of my aunts weird pets. Must not be that important to them if they let it roam freely.”
‘Oh my fucking G- Celestia, this guy is worse then in the show.’ “Actually ya twat, I'm a free thinking being and I'm no ones pet.” I said to him.
I then got the feeling I shouldn't have said that as he grew an evil smirk on muzzle. “Oh? Then that means your trespassing on royal property. That also means I can throw you in the dungeons.” With that his horn lit up and I felt a tingling all around my body. I was then lifted into the air. I naturally began to flail my limbs at the unfamiliar feeling.
I eventually ended up smacking Blueblood in the face. He didn't lose concentration but it did make him mad. “You Brute! I will show you what happens when you strike Royalty!” His magic solidified on my left arm and then he began to make it bend in an angle that is not natural for a human.
I yelled out in pain as tears came to my eyes. I heard the bones start to creak and snap at the force as it got bent further and further. Eventually my arm broke and I cried out in pain again. I heard Blueblood laugh at my misery. Then I heard a familiar voice of Tempest.
“BlueBlood! What have you done to Dan!?” She ran over and began to check on my body but was blasted by BlueBlood. “Out of the way you broken mare. No stallion or mare will ever love you without a horn. Without it, your just a weak Earth pony.” My mind went back to my Dad and my rage began to build. I slowly stood up with my left arm limp. I glared at Blueblood as I heard more hoovesteps coming our way.
BlueBlood looked back at me but his triumphant look deflated when he saw my face. I ran at him and kicked at his stomach. He rolled on the ground till he hit a wall. I walked over and picked him up with my right hand around his throat. I slammed him against the wall and began thrusting my knee into his stomach.
“NEVER, HURT, MY, FRIENDS!” I said each word with a kick to his stomach. I threw him over my head till his head hit the ground. I put my shoe over his face and grabbed his horn. “You don't deserve this horn you selfish, self righteous, asshole.” With that put his head on my shoe and brought the other one down and broke his horn.
When it broke off he screeched in pain and magic sparks began to spray out from the stump. They burned my pants leg and my leg but I ignored the pain. I grabbed the horn and grabbed his tail. I then shoved his horn where Celestia's Sun will never shine. He began to silently scream before he fainted from the pain.
I breathed heavily as I tossed the body to the floor. I walked over to Tempest and sat down next to her. I pulled her onto my lap and began to hug her. She cried into my shoulder as I rubbed her back. I lifted my head to see the dropped jaws of everyone except Luna since she was still asleep.
I began to retell what happened. “I dropped Luna off in her Bedroom and as I was walking the halls I bumped into sir DoucheBag over there.” I nodded my head in BlueBlood direction. “He thought I was one of your pets but when I said otherwise he picked me up in his magic and told me I was going to the dungeons. I panicked and I accidentally hit him.
“He got mad and slowly broke my left arm. When it finally broke Tempest found me and came over to check on me. That's when BlueBlood blasted her and told her that she was a broken mare and that no stallion or mare would love her. I got mad and you see the result.” I finished pointing at Blueblood again. Rainbow and AJ looked like they wanted to do tear off BlueBlood’s Testicals and replace his eyes with them.
Celestia and Cadence just looked like they knew that this day was coming but not so soon. Shining Armor, Spike, and surprisingly Rarity looked at me with a smile that said. ‘Thank you for doing what we couldn't.’ Twilight and the rest looked horrified at the state I was in as they rushed over to me and began to check my injuries.
Twilight and Starlight healed my burnt leg but said they could only numb the pain in my arm. Fluttershy began to examine Tempest's injuries. Pinkie asked if she could do anything to help. I then got an idea. “Actually Pinkie there is something that only you can do. I need you to ask Zecora if she has a potion for healing broken arms.” She saluted and zoomed off. Not even 30 seconds later she came back and said that Zecora said it would take a couple days to make.
I nodded and let my head rest against the marble wall. “Can I get a bed please, the floor ain't the most comfortable place.” I got a few sad chuckles and I was lifted by Celestia's magic. Tempest was still in my arms as Celestia floated me and her to the infirmary. She let me float beside her as she walked and let Cadence and Shining Armor took care of BlueBlood.
Celestia put me on a bed after placing Tempest on a different one and asked if I needed anything. “Can you come under here and sleep with me? I don't like to sleep alone.” That was true, ever since I was a baby, if I didn't have someone or something to sleep with I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully or not at all.
She giggled and nodded. She crawled onto the bed while removing her jewelry. Once she removed it all she asked if there was anything else I needed before she continued. “Could you remove my pants and shirt please?” She nodded and teleported them into a corner. She wrapped her forelegs and wings around me and pulled me into her chest. She nuzzled the top of my head while inhaling my scent.
I wrapped my good arm around her and pulled myself closer. She was very soft and her fur smelled of a summer day at the beach. Her wings tickled a little but were still soft and comfy nonetheless. I felt myself soon drift off to the land of dreams. I opened my eyes to see a confused Luna looking at me.
“Dan? Why are you asleep? It is still midday is it not, and what happened to your arm!?” I then proceeded to retell what happened with my encounter with Blueblood. By the end she had dark wisps coming out of her hooves. I recognized what was happening and I quickly rushed over to give her a hug.
I held on tight even as she tried to push away. “LET GO OF US DAN! WE WILL KILL THAT BLUEBLOOD FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE TO YOU!”
“No! Don't do it Luna! Don't give in the Nightmare again! Please stay with us! With your sister! With your friends! With ME!” She stopped thrashing and looked at me. I could see tears in her eyes as she looked at me. She suddenly shut her eyes in pain as she started to spasm. Her hooves went to her head as she yelled.
“Get out! Get out, Get out, Get out!” Her horn lit up as a thick dark blue smoke came out. The black wisps that were covering Luna seemed to leave with the smoke. Once all the black wisps were gone the smoke detached itself from her horn. It slowly came together and an Alicorn was left.
“Nightmare Moon.” I whispered under my breath. She was lying on the ground and seemed to be unconscious I slowly moved over to the unmoving body of Nightmare. Once I was next to her I kneeled down and put my hand on her coat. She wasn't wearing any of her armor. Her coat was soft but was a bit too cold.
I wrapped my body around her and used my body heat to warm her up. She was as big as Celestia so it was kinda hard for me to wrap myself all around. Luna was just rubbing her head to get rid of her new apparent headache. When she spotted me big spooning Nightmare Moon her jaw went slack.
We stayed like this for a while with neither of us saying a word. When Nightmare began to stir Luna shook herself out of her shock and charged her horn. I raised my hand up and shook my head. She understood but was a bit apprehensive. I looked at Nightmare’s face as she slowly opened her eyes.
“Ugh, what in Equestria happened?” She said while rubbing her head like Luna was doing earlier. When you look at Nightmare Moon this close and without the battle armor, she was beautiful. Her long slender black body and neck and her space like mane.
“It's alright, take it easy.” She jumped a little at my voice and she swivled her head to look at me.
“What the hay are you!?” She exclaims.
“I'm a human, my name is Dan, Luna brought me here after she saw my-”
“Memory Nightmare.” Luna cut me off. Nightmare’s eyes widened and twisted her head to Luna. They just stared at each other for awhile in an awkward silence.
“... What the hay is going on!?” They shouted at the same time. This was gonna take a while.
After about an hour of explanation, I was sitting next to Nightmare but she was now sitting as well. I had my hand behind her ear and I was scratching it, much to her pleasure and to keep her calm. She was humming in contentment at my attention to her ears. “Mmm, yeeeeesss~ riiiiiii~ght there~.” She purred.
It was so freaking adorable seeing her like this. Luna was still grumbling about what she would do to Blueblood next time she saw him. “So if your separated from Luna in the dream world, does that count in the real world as well?” There was a pregnant pause as the two stopped doing anything.
They looked at each other then at me. “I do not think so, but that may be the case. But if it is then we already have the elements to get rid of her again.”
“Uh, I don't think you can do that. The elements aren't used for killing evil entities. There used for banishing them. All they would do is send Nightmare somewhere for an extended period of time before she comes back. The only time that anything was killed is Sombra but even he isn't dead.” Almost as if the record sound was played Luna and Nightmare went wide eyed.
“UMBRA IS STILL ALIVE!” They shouted at the same time.
“Yeah, Luna can you project my memories onto something?” She nodded and a holographic screen appeared. I stood up and went over to it. After searching for a while I found the memory of a clip from the Ki- Queen Umbra episode. Everything was the same except King Sombra was a female.

As soon as the memory showed the horn being blasted out of the sky I stopped the video. “There, right there.” I said pointing at the horn. They became fearful as they started to panic.
“This is not good, if Umbra’s alive and Cadence and Shining Armor aren't there then Umbra can attack at anytime!” Luna exclaimed in worry.
“I agree, while I don't like Luna that well I never liked slavery, all I want is for ponies to appreciate the night. All I want is what Luna wanted, but now since she wants to protect you then that is what I shall do.” Nightmare said nuzzling my cheek. I returned the nuzzle before saying.
“Well I say that we send out a search team to find that horn. But if it is found nopony is to touch it. Who knows what could happen. For all we know, they could become an artificial body for her. And no magic either. She could still corrupt them through their magic.” They nodded and mentally put it down on a list.
The area began to fall apart and Luna said that I was waking up for the night so we could spend it together. I opened my real eyes to hear a heart monitor beeping and somepony else breathing. I look over to where Tempest lay and she had an IV needle in her foreleg and those things that are attached to the heart monitor over her chest.
The doors open and I see not only Luna but Nightmare Moon next to her. “Guess I was right.” I chuckle a little but pain comes back to my arm making me wince. My arm was in a cast so I couldn't very well move it. Nightmare comes over and frowns at the injury.
“What happened to you to break your entire arm?” I then retold for the 3rd time my confrontation with Blueblood. By time I'm done Nightmare is Pissed for lack of better word. “When I'm done with that bucker he will wish he was sent to the sun.”
“Don't Moon, besides, I already broke his horn and took his anal virginity with it.” She looked at me surprised then burst out laughing.
“That's rich! Hahaha! Do you know how hard it is to break a Unicorn’s horn? Chip it or make a crack in it is one thing but to completely break it off requires the strength of a Manticore!” Nightmare’s laughing then cause Tempest to stir in her sleep.
“Ugh, keep it dow-” When she laid her eyes on Nightmare her eyes widened and her pupils shrunk in fear. “Ni- Ni- Nightmare Moon.” She squeaked.
“Tempest, calm down. Nightmare isn't going to hurt you. Isn't that right Nightmare?” I said slowly and calmly.
“I promise not to hurt anypony without a good reason and I promise to not try to overthrow Equestria. Happy?” Nightmare Moon said half-heartedly. Tempest seemed to calm down but not by much. Then the double doors in the room opened to reveal Celestia, Cadence and Shining Armor, Starlight, Spike, and the Mane 6 were in the doorway.
When they saw Nightmare they stopped in their tracks. Next thing I know Nightmare is being held down by Celestia and Cadence, Shining Armor has put up a shield around me,Tempest, Spike, and Starlight, and the Mane 6 have ran off somewhere. Luna? Well she's facehoofing. “Celestia, Cadence stop! Nightmare isn't here to cause trouble! She's just here to protect me! Shining put your pink ass shield down, NOW!” The volume of my voice seemed to surprise them all as Shining’s shield wavered.
I pulled myself out of bed and stood up. I used my healthy arm to start punching the shield. Cracks started to spread where I was punching. When it looked damaged enough I kicked at the spot I was punching and the shield broke. I knew I was strong but not that strong! I ran over to Cadence and wrenched her off Nightmare. “Get off of her!” I yelled as I shoved Celestia off as well.
“Hey Moony, you alright?” I asked as I knelt down and helped her up.
“Ugh, yeah, I'm fine. Ponies are still as jumpy as ever.” She said while rubbing her stomach.
“Dan!? What's wrong with you!? Don't you know who she is!” Celestia looked at me as if I was crazy and I was close to thinking that I actually was.
“Yes I know who she is and I also know who all of you are, I know about the Canterlot Attack, I know about Chrysalis, I know about Tirek, I knew that Discord was gonna betray you all for Tirek before even he thought about it! I know a lot more then you think, I've watched this world for a long time and do you know how? Your all a kids TV show! There's even a movie and Tempest there was the secondary villain!” I exclaimed in frustration. I breathed heavily once I finished my rant.
They all looked at me with different expressions. I turned around and ran out the doors. I didn't notice the Mane 6 as I ran through the small group. I didn't know where I was running, I just wanted to get away. To be alone. I ran and ran and before I knew it I was back in the maze. I took random twists and turns at different intervals. I came out upon what looked like a small garden.
A small tree that was in bloom with small flowers all over stood next to a small pond. I walked toward the pond and saw some fish in it. I looked around some more and saw a bench was under the tree. I brushed off some of the petals that have fallen and took a seat. I pulled my knees into my chest and cried. “Why do I hurt people without meaning to. Why am I like this. Every time I try to help or be nice someone ends up getting hurt, either physically or emotionally.” I cried into my arms.
What I didn't know was that Spike had followed me and heard everything I had said.
(Spike Pov.)
I ran back through the maze with ease since I've been coming in here enough to remember the entire layout. What Dan said worried me. ‘Why do I hurt people without meaning to.’ Had he hurt ponies? If so then who? My short legs don't help when I'm trying to run long distances. I finally made it out of the maze to see Twilight and her friends along with the princesses and Nightmare Moon-...
“N- N- Nightmare Moon! Wh- What are you doing here!”
“I am here for Dan's well being. Speaking of which, where is he?” She asked… worried?
“He's in the center of the maze. But when I found him he was crying. He said something about him hurting ponies without wanting or meaning to. ‘Physically or Emotionally.’ He said.” Spike finished looking a bit downtrodden.
“Well who do you think should go talk to him?” Luna asked. This just started an argument to see who would try and help him. Fluttershy and Luna, being the only ones not in the argument were thinking about what Spike said and the situation that is taking hold in front of them.
“Everypony, QUIET!” Luna roared in the RCV. The ponies that were the cause of Luna using the RCV instantly stopped arguing. “Do you not see that this is what Spike was talking about? Instead of trying to comfort him we argue about who should do it! This isn't what Danny wants. He just wants to have fun and make friends while he can. We shouldn't fight over him like his friendship is just some prize. Only one pony should go and comfort him right now as he would get overwhelmed if we all went. That is why I have worked down 4 ponies and dragon that should go talk to him.”
