Goodbye Twilight
Twilight’s Sacrifice
Load Full StoryNext ChapterTwilight was currently making a chain with her friends to get the Staff Of Sacanas, it was the only thing that could save Equestria now, the Storm King began to climb to the staff, Twilight realized if she didn’t act, the Storm King would win, she couldn’t let him win, she had to head to the Staff even if it cost her, her life.
With great strength Twilight flew to the staff just as the Storm King jumped to it. The palace wall broke, which caused Twilight, the staff, and the Storm King to get sucked in the tornado. While getting sucked in, Twilight heard Pinkie Pie faintly cry for her. Twilight flew in a desperate attempt to get the staff which was currently being swept by the tornado, getting hit with many castle terrain, Twilight was beginning to lose consciousness but she couldn’t give up she needed to do this.
“For my friends, my family, my home, for Equestria.” Twilight wheezed out.
Twilight finally caught the staff and figured out to control it just enough to end the tornado and barely was able to fly herself back down to the castle where her friends were scared and worried for her, she even saw Tempest with them.
“Twilight are you okay?” Rainbow Dash asked in a worried tone.
“Twilight speak to us.” Applejack commanded in a scared voice.
“Girls, (cough) I don’t think I’m gonna make it, I’m so sorry.” Twilight said in a hoarse voice.
“Twilight please don’t talk like that, please we’re sorry.” Fluttershy begged in tears.
“Darling please don’t leave us.” Rarity cried out.
“It’s all my fault Twilight, I’m so sorry, I never should’ve accused you of not caring about us.” Pinkie Pie cried out.
“It’s not your fault Pinkie Pie, it’s none of your faults, guys I love you all, even Tempest, and Spike you were always like a brother to me, I’m sorry I never let you know this.” Twilight stated apologetically.
“I love you like a sibling too Twilight, I always have. Please don’t leave me.” Spike begged tearfully.
“I’m sorry Spike, I’m not gonna make it, and girls before I go, please do one thing for me, give Tempest a chance at redemption she’s changed and I know it.” Twilight requested.
“Okay Twilight if that’s what you want, we’ll do it.” Spike said.
“Thank you guys, I love you all.” Twilight said before taking her last breath, the girls and Spike began tearing up one of their best friends is gone and they were all miserable. Tempest noticed the staff next to Twilight and picked it up with her mouth she walked to the center of the castle and planted the staff in the hole, which fixed everything, including the castle, everyone was freed from their cages, and the Royal Sisters and Cadence were freed from their stone prison, the Mane 5 and Spike were shocked that Tempest did such a noble act and so were the Princesses but their shock was overpowered by sadness as they saw Twilight’s body on the floor. Tempest bowed with remorse.
“I am sorry princesses, and I’m sorry Twilight.” Tempest spoke with a tear going down her eye.
The Princesses looked at Tempest with blank stares and all three were torn on what they should do with her, but then the door to the throne room opened revealing a worried Starlight Glimmer.
“Guys is everything okay, did any pony get hurt.” Starlight asked frantically.
“I’m afraid some pony did Sugarcube.” Applejack spoke mournfully pointing at Twilight’s beaten and bruised body.
Starlight began tearing up remembering all of her moments with Twilight, how she helped reform Starlight, the times Twilight comforted her, and their conversations and it was safe to say she was heartbroken.
“No, Twilight, Please wake up, please. No I lost one friend once I can’t lose one again, no.” Starlight cried out in tears.
When Spike touched her back she looked back up and saw he was also in tears, the two embraced to comfort each other as they were both feeling the same amount of pain from this new loss.
After Spike and Starlight broke off from the hug. Starlight opened her eyes and saw a guilty Tempest Shadow but all Starlight saw was red before she narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth, so she leapt off the ground and pounced on Tempest her horn flaring in rage, a cloud of anger began forming from her horn.
“You, this is all your fault, your army invaded Canterlot and you took her away from me, you’re gonna pay for this you heartless monster.” Starlight screamed in fury.
Tempest closed her eyes in fear, she knew she deserved this but before Starlight did anything, Spike intervened.
“Starlight calm down she didn’t do it, Twilight only passed away because of the tornado, Tempest didn’t do anything, besides this is not what Twilight would want.” Spike said in an attempt to calm the enraged purple haired unicorn.
Starlight’s horn stopped flaring but she was still upset.
“But she still invaded Canterlot, this is all her fault.” Starlight cried out in angry tears.
Tempest lowered her head in shame, what Starlight said was right, she was part of the reason Twilight is gone.
“Starlight I know you’re upset, but please calm down.” Spike begged.
“Fine, but only because you asked me.” Starlight said.
Starlight then looked back at Tempest with remorse she never meant to seriously hurt Tempest and she did feel bad for attacking Tempest a bit, but she was still infuriated with the unicorn, she would not forgive Tempest, ever.
Celestia looked back at Twilight’s corpse and began to tear up, she was mortified at the sight of Twilight’s battered, beaten, and bruised body she just lost her most faithful student and the closest thing she had to a daughter figure, Celestia felt as if she has failed her as a teacher and a mother and that made her cry.
“I am so sorry my daughter.”
Author's Note
This concept has somewhat been done before, I wanted to try this out myself, except instead of doing it in Canterlot Wedding I figured the movie would fit better, also don’t worry I won’t be too hard on Tempest since I plan on her reforming but she will be put through a lot in this story.
