Drew's Tragic Story

Twilight had failed, watching as Drew's chest lifted and lowered one final time. The others turned their heads with gritted teeth, tears flowing freely now.

Twilight slumped down, and sighed, covering her face with her hooves, and sobbed. Her mind was still working for a solution though, and that paid off.

She got up, swiping her tears away, and suddenly became very determined. "I can only save one of them...." she said to herself.

She took a deep breath, spreading her wings wide, and began to focus. She took a step forward, training her horn to Drew's corpse. She took one last calming breath and concentrated hard. Her magic began to blaze as her aura flared intensely.

Soon, her magic began to envelop Drew's body, and began to stitch the fatal wounds he inflicted upon himself. "Stage one achieved." Twilight mumbled to herself, getting the attention of Pinkie Pie, who gasped loudly. This got the other's attention now.

Each watched, not knowing what Twilight was doing.

Twilight began to strain, holding her pace as her magic surged into Drew's body. Pinkie figured out what Twilight was doing first and spoke up. "Twilight.....Don't....you can't do that.." She said, and Applejack was next to figure it out.

"Twi! Stop gosh darnit!! You can't do what I think you're doin!!" Applejack said loudly.

Fluttershy was next up, and flew up to Twilight, moving to try and stop her. Twilight growled. "LET ME DO THIS!! THERE'S STILL HOPE FOR HIM!! I HAVE TO TRY!!" Twilight said and Fluttershy backed off.

Rarity went up and tried to push Twilight away, only to get a glare out of Twilight. "LET ME DO THIS!! THAT'S A PRINCESS ORDER!!" She said in the Royal Canterlot Voice. The others quickly backed away, and Rarity huffed.

Twilight began to strain hard now, giving this spell everything she had. Sweat poured from her as she pants between strained grunts. "So far....so good..come on Twilight! You can do this!!" She thought to herself.

The spell was working, and Drew began to twitch. Twilight gasped and doubled her efforts.

Drew groaned a little, moving a little bit more as Twilight kept up her spell. Not long after, Drew blinked awake, looking around. "Ugh...my head........what happened?!" Drew asked, just as Twilight collapsed, her wings evaporating. Twilight's breathing was heavy, but she smiled upon seeing Drew alive again.

Applejack helped Drew to stand as Fluttershy gasped, remembering Celestia was hurt too, and rushed to check on her. Pinkie followed after Fluttershy as Rarity went to help Twilight back up.

"Darling, why did you do that?! Now you aren't a Princess anymore...." Rarity asked.

"To bring someone back from death, something great must be sacrificed. In this case, my immortality. The body being brought back though, MUST be fresh, like, really fresh. It was already too late to bring back Rainbow Dash...but Drew on the other hand.." Twilight explained.

"Easy Sugar, Twilight just brought you back to life. She had to give up being an Alicorn to do it, so be grateful!" Applejack said, scolding Drew for killing himself. Drew simply sighed.

"Why......why bring me back when there's nothing left to live for? WHY?!" Drew said loudly with an angry tone. Applejack punched him, knocking him down.

"Look sugar, your life is NOT over!! Sure, you've suffered some pretty hefty losses, but you're an Alico...." she was suddenly silenced, noticing that Drew no longer had wings.

"What the?! Twilight, where'd his wings go?!" Applejack asked, clearly confused by this.

"I see, his being an Alicorn must only be active when he's using his Element Of Harmony. Drew, try summoning it and putting it on." Twilight said, walking over to him wobbly.

Drew groaned and did as he was asked, but the summoning failed. The same voice from earlier was heard in his head. "Spirit Break." Was all it said to him, and gave him a vision of how to summon his Element.

"Hmm....Ok...Spirit Break!!" He said loudly as his horn glowed brightly, in a blinding flash of light, he grew taller, and he transformed back into his Alicorn form, and his Element Of Harmony appeared on his head, shining brightly.

The others watched in awe, and Twilight smiled. She loved being correct. "I knew it!" She said with delight.

Fluttershy flew back. "Girls!! Princess Celestia is in pretty bad shape, we need to do something to help her!!" Fluttershy said frantically.

Drew looked to her and nodded, his magic's aura growing and expanding widely, searching for Celestia's Life Signature. Upon finding it, he teleported to where she was.

Luckily, he knew of several healing spells that worked wonders, as long as the pony being healed was alive. He began to focus his magic into Celestia, and her wounds began to fade away. Soon enough, Celestia opened her eyes, getting up. "Oh my....what happened?! The last thing I remember is..." Celestia then gasped.

"Drew! Where is Nightmare Stampede?!" Celestia asked in a panicked tone. Drew simply shook his head.

"Dead....so is my Dashie...." He said and hung his head. Celestia gasped and went to hug Drew.

"She will have a heroes burial, I'll see to it personally. Who dealt the final blow?" Celestia asked Drew.

"I did princess...." He said with a sigh. Celestia nodded, giving a half-bow, noticing Drew was currently an Alicorn.

"I see you've ascended to an Alicorn Prince Drew. Congratulations." Celestia said, and was about to say more when she was interrupted.

"Princess Celestia!! You're Alright!!" Twilight said, and ran up to her, nuzzling the solar princess. The others followed, and each smiled.

"Yes my little ponies, all thanks to Prince Drew here." She said, and caught that Twilight no longer had her wings, and gasped.

"Oh my....Twilight! What in Equestria happened to your wings?!" Celestia asked in shock. Twilight looked away, backing away a bit ashamed.

"I had to break a law of nature Princess Celestia.....after the battle, Drew killed himself when he failed to heal Rainbow Dash....so I had to trade my immortality for Drew's life....I'm sorry Princess..." Twilight explained with a sigh.

Celestia gave a warm smile and hugged Twilight. This confused the hell out of Twilight. "I'm so proud of you Twilight Sparkle. You sacrificed something as great as immortality for the sake of some pony else! You may no longer be an Alicorn, but you truely are a Princess at heart."

Twilight blushed at the praise and smiled, standing proudly. Drew gave a nod of thanks and shuffled off back to his dead brother. He sat by the corpse, and cried silently. Applejack walked up behind him and hugged him from behind. "Ya may not believe me now Sugar, but I promise you, me, and all the girls are here for ya!"

Fluttershy approached, nodding with a kind smile. "Exactly Applejack. Drew, whenever you need some pony to talk to, you are ALWAYS welcome at my cottage."

Rarity approached aswell now. "Same with Carousel Boutique! Me and Fluttershy are good listeners!" Rarity said with a genuine smile.

Pinkie Pie popped up from behind Nightmare Stampede's body, grinning. "And we're all shoulders to lean on if needed!!" Pinkie said, beaming at Drew.

"Yea...." Drew said, he can tell they were all hiding their sadness for his sake. He got up and began to walk away, leaving his daggers behind. Twilight was about to say something to stop him, but Celestia stopped her, shaking her head. "Let him grieve in privacy Twilight. He's lost alot today.."

(The next day)

Drew had gone home and cried himself to sleep, only to be woken up by some pony pounding on his door. He answered, and it was two guards and Prince Shining Armor. "Hello old friend. Come with me please. You're gonna miss the celebration and funeral. Plus, Princess Celestia has something planned for you!" Shining Armor said, and smiled at his old comrad.

Drew groaned and nods, fixing his matted mane and followed Shining Armor to a Pegasi-chariot. The two stallions climbed in, and within half an hour, they were in Canterlot.

Once they arrived at the castle, Celestia herself greeted them, along with the remaining Mane 6, and each smiled. Celestia guided them inside, and many tailors quickly surrounded Drew, tugging and measuring him. They darted away to get to work, and Drew rolled his eyes.

Shining Armor chuckled at this. "Summon your Element Drew." Celestia asked of him, and he nodded. "Spirit Break!" He called out and he transformed again.

As soon as he did, two pegasi darted up to him, measuring his wings and once done, darted away.

Drew groaned, not fully understanding the importance of today. Celestia giggled a bit, and guides him to the dining hall. "Are you hungry? Perhaps thirsty?" Celestia asked with a smile on her face. Drew shook his head politely, his eyes still staring into space.

(Fast forward four hours.)

Dressed in royal garments, Drew was guided to a balcony by Celestia, along with the other girls. "My little ponies, today is a very important day for all of Equestria! I present to you, the first Stallion Alicorn! Prince Drew The Courageous!!" Celestia said loudly and signaled Drew to step up next to her. He did, and his eyes widened when he saw such a huge crowd, and hearing it errupt in applause. He gave a wave, and tried his best to smile.

"This day however, is also a sad day." Celestia said and the crowd hushed, seeming a bit confused.

"During the battle against Nightmare Stampede, Equestria lost an Element Of Harmony, Loyalty. Most would know her as Rainbow Dash. However, there is also a new Element. The Element Of Trust. The bearer of this new Element is none other than Prince Drew The Courageous!" She said proudly and the crowd errupted again.

Drew waved a hoof, and the crowd hushed again. "As a Prince, I will do everything I can in my power to protect this country, and it's citazens! I also give my word that if a citazen is in danger, or fears for their life, that I WILL answer the call of distress!" With that, Celestia gave a nod, and turned around, Drew following after her. Drew's path was now his own to walk, now that he has been given a bittersweet second chance at life.
