Ultimate Equestria
Time to talk.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter a few minutes- or was it weeks? Hard to tell. After some time, the four of us made it back to our universe. Entering the bubble- bubble? Yeah, the bubble, we made our way back home. Landing in Ponyville, we see the whole town marching down the street singing a song.
"♪-ue true friend helps a friend in need, a friend will be there to help them see, a true true friend helps a friend in need to see the light, see the light, that shines, that shines from a true true friend~!♪" As the song ends, Twilight lifts all her friends in her magic, letting them all hug and nuzzle together.
Wait… a true true friend?! Oh my kaltenecker, it's happening! I think before I hear someone shout behind us.
"BOO!" Turning around, we see Jet and Jewel. "Hey guys, check it out!" Jet says.
"~~Jet!~~" Bella and I yell as we hug him and Jewel.
"Wow, how long has it been?" I ask.
"It's been a couple weeks." Jet deadpans. "And you wouldn't believe what we've done!" He exclaims.
"Save the story for another time, we're gonna miss it!" Jewel says, starting to run to Twilight's library.
Oh right! I start running after Jewel.
"~~Miss what?~~" Chrysalis and Jet ask. I look back and yell.
"The explosion!"
"~~Explosion?!~~" Chrysalis, Jet and Screwy shout.
"Wait, that's happening now?!" Screwy continues.
"Yep, come on!" I yell. Everyone follows me to the library, entering after Jewel.
"Seth? Bella? Jet?! What are you all doing?" Twilight asks as I look at the main six, sensing the build-up of magic in the Elements they are wearing.
"We're here to see it." Jewel says.
"See what?" Twilight asks as her tiara glows.
"This." I say as the Element of Magic glows white. The glow explodes out, shocking all the mares in the room. The other Elements begin to glow in their own colours before they fire rays of magic at Twilight, forming a bubble of colours around her. "See you soon, Twilight!" I call over the loud sound of the magic as white light floods the library.
Twilight explodes.
Literally. There's even a scorch march on the floor. …In the shape of her cutie mark? I do not remember that.
Twilight's friends gasp and shout in alarm. They all start clamouring about what happens and where she went before they are cut off by a shout.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Rainbow walks up to me. "You knew that was going to happen! How?" All Twilight's friends turn to me.
"Hey, she's right! How'd you guys know that was going to happen?" Pinkie asks.
"That is a very good question. How did you know?" Rarity asks. All Twilight's friends stare at us, waiting for an answer.
"Can't say." I respond, everyone looking at me with surprised expressions.
"What do you mean, "can't say"? Why not?!" Rainbow yells.
"Because it's something all of you should know. Twilight and Celestia included." I say.
"Celestia? What does princess Celestia have to do with this?" Applejack asks.
"She's important. Not to mention, she's probably with Twilight right now. I think." I say.
"Probably? Do you know where she is or not?!" Rainbow asks.
"Not exactly. But I'm sure she's safe." I say. "So don't worry. She'll be back in-" My sentence is cut off by a surge of magic outside. "Already? Wow, that was much faster than I thought it would be." I say, surprised at the timing. "As I was saying, she's back!" I walk out the library, seeing a large shining mass of magic in the shape of Twilight's cutie mark floating down to the ground. The magic solidifies into a white bubble on the ground. Inside is a humanoid figure.
"Twilight?" Applejack asks as the white bubble disappears, revealing Twilight facing towards us, her body shining.
Twilight spreads her wings, making everypony gasp. Their previous thoughts momentarily overshadowed, Twilight's friends step forward.
"I… Ah've never seen anything like it…" Applejack says in awe.
"Ha! Twilight's got wings! Awesome! A new flying buddy!" Rainbow says, hovering in the air an looking over Twilight's new limbs.
"Why, you've become an alicorn! I didn't know that was possible." Rarity says.
"ALICORN PARTY!" Pinkie shouts, blowing a party horn.
"Wow, you look just like that other Twilight we met, when Chrysalis and Whisper came here. Wasn't she a princess?" Fluttershy asks.
"She was." I say. "And now so is our Twilight."
"What? I-I can't be a princess. I-"
"Seth is correct, Twilight. You ARE a princess." Celestia says, landing behind us.
"Huh?" All of Twilight's friends ask.
"R-really? I'm… a princess?" Twilight asks. Celestia smiles and says.
"Since you've come to Ponyville, you've displayed the Charity, Compassion, Devotion, Integrity, Optimism and of course, the Leadership of a true princess." All of Twilight's friends stand by her side, reminding her of all that she has learned. Twilight turns to Celestia.
"B-but, does this mean I won't be your student anymore?" Twilight asks.
"Not in the same way as before." Celestia answers. "I'll still be hear to help and guide you, but we're all your students now too. You are an inspiration to us all, Twilight." Celestia says, bowing before the new princess. All of Twilight's friends bow as well. I even bow down, along with Jet, Bella, Screwy and Jewel.
"I-I'm honoured, all of you, but I don't know a thing about being a princess. Is there a book I can read?" Twilight asks Celestia. She chuckles and says.
"There will be time for all of that later." Everyone smiles.
"This is so cool!" Jet shouts, drawing everypony's attention. "I can't believe I get to see this! Ow!" I hit him on the head.
"Way to break the mood, Jet." I say.
"What do you mean "see this"?" Celestia asks.
"Hey, that's right! Seth knew Twilight was going to disappear!" Rainbow yells.
"What? How? Seth, what does Rainbow mean?" Celestia asks.
"She's right! And he said he wouldn't answer our questions until Twilight came back…" Rarity trails off. "He knew princess Celestia would be here too." She realises.
"What? Seth, did you know this was going to happen? Can you see the future?" Celestia asks.
"No. But, I have an idea of what is going to happen." I answer.
"How?" Twilight asks.
"Allow me to answer that question, with another question. Do you remember what I told Ben, Gwen and Kevin when they first arrived?"
"When they arrived? You told them they-" Celestia's eyes widen. "…Were part of a show on your world."
"Correct. What I didn't say was that all of you, are on a show too." I say.
"WHAT?!" Everypony, except Screwy, yells.
"Why didn't you tell us this?" Celestia asks. I hear murmurs around me. Looking around, I see some townsponies whispering to each other.
"This probably isn't the best place to talk about this. Screwy? Could you please take us somewhere private?" I ask my marefriend. She nods and summons her staff, tapping it against the ground.
The thirteen of us disappear.
We reappear somewhere dark.
"What- where are we?!" Rainbow yells.
"Good question. Screwy?" I ask.
"The other side of the moon." Screwy says, lighting up her staff. Everyone looks around. Everypony gasps at the great white landscape.
"We're where?" Celestia asks.
"The other side of the moon. The side that faces away from Equis." Screwy explains.
"How is everyone else breathing?" I ask.
"Everyone else?" Jet asks.
"Atmospheric bubble." Screwy answers.
"Oh. Of course. Range?"
"Ten metres." Screwy says.
"Okay, everyone. Don't go to far or you'll asphyxiate." I warn all of my friends.
"W-what does asphyxi- asph- what does that word mean?" Fluttershy asks, stumbling with the complicated word.
"It means passing out or dying because there's nothing to breath. There isn't any air on the moon." I explain.
"Wait, if there isn't any air on the moon, how are we breathing?" Applejack asks.
"Atmospheric bubble. There is a bubble of air in this spot. Inside, you can breath, outside, you can't." I say.
"Why would you take us here?" Twilight asks.
"Because it's private." Screwy says.
"Now. I'll answer your questions." I say, dreading the next possible hour.
It was three hours before we returned, from me explaining what the show was, to me explaining how the show exists, to me doing a small recap of the things I can remember. We reappear back in Ponyville, Celestia going back to Canterlot. She had a few things to do. All the rest of us were now in Twilight's library.
"I still can't believe that other me didn't get in the Wonderbolts. That's my life long dream!" Rainbow says for the 23rd time.
"Yes, Rainbow. The other you gave up getting in the Wonderbolts for her friends. That doesn't mean you will too. You could get in and still have your friends, now shut up about it!" Jet says, sick of Rainbow repeating herself. Screwy suddenly stands up, an odd feeling of alarm blooming from my chest.
"Screwball? What's up?" Jewel asks.
"I think something just entered the atmosphere." Screwy says.
"What?" I ask, walking to the door. Outside, I start looking around.
"There!" Screwy says, pointing at the horizon. I can see a yellow spot, growing bigger as it gets closer.
"That's going to crash into Ponyville!" Jewel yells.
"No it won't. Screwy." I say. Screwy nods and raises her staff, a barrier instantly forming around Ponyville.
A loud BOOM!!! goes off as the yellow thing crashes into the barrier.
