Being Lyra

This is going to sting, if not worse. Even with my acceleration being very low, I am still heading at a fairly indecent pace for a safe impact. I was heading at least twenty miles per hour, which may not seem like much, unless you were falling onto a populated town with dozens of buildings to fall on top of and all the ponies below. Even if I do managed to avoid those two obstacles, falling at twenty miles per hour is quite fast, but luckily somewhat survivable with many injuries given.

Several incidents in real life approve of this logic to be true, however a ponified body being applied to this situation has yet to be confirmed of whether it's true or not. (I am not responsible whether you try this out or not, but I advise you to NOT try it)

Canterlot got closer and closer as I managed to sustain my speed, but pain and survival were both my number one concern at the moment. I was within view of Canterlot, at a glance, only a few ponies cared that they saw a unicorn falling from the sky and watched as I plummeted toward the ground, the rest were the fancy selfish type that couldn't care less. I started to hug my legs and slouched down hoping for the best. It was only a few seconds before I landed on top of one of the curved rooftops which slid me down to the nearly approached ground which only slowed me down to the smallest extent. It was then in which I stopped attempting to decelerate myself and tried to protect myself from the impact onto the ground, with magical levitation force, I clung adhesively to the rooftop to slow myself down.

In result, I managed to gradually decrease my speed. Now the only challenge was to completely stop, I dug into the rooftop with my hooves only to cling on even harder. I was groping for my life trying to stop, but my hooves started to burn. With subtlety, I managed to stop and a crowd of middle classed ponies standing below me hoof-stomped the ground and cheered towards my landing.

"Ah, it looks like my package has arrived, there was no doubt that whoever that mayor hired would have failed, it would of actually beneficial for Lyra to have gone to Manehattan, so she wouldn't have to deal with me, since her escape from the carrier was premeditated, nevertheless, I would of still made it to Manehattan in time before her facade takes over," the doctor said with a evil grin.

"Umm, can somepony get me down?" I asked silencing their applause.

"You're not going anywhere," somepony said barging through the crowd.

"Why can't you just leave me alone, you freak?!" I rhetorically asked as he revealed himself, it was that doctor.

"So, I take it Bon Bon's not with you? That's too bad, after all, you wouldn't want to die alone," he said revealing a pony on the ground next to him.

It was Bon Bon; she looked bad and injured to such a great extent. Her mane looked torn up and was no longer curled up. All four of her hooves were tied into a knot by a rope, a cloth was tied around her eyes, and another rope covered her mouth. She struggled to get up only to slide forward by getting kicked forward by the doctor.

"How about a trade, if you make this easy and I'll spare your friend here or you both can share the grave. After all the trouble you put me through, I'd say that's a fair trade, don't you think?" he asked.

"You're psychotic, what makes you think you can do that?" I replied.

"Nothing really, except for the law and the fact that you are one of the most wanted citizens of Equestria, I have every right to hold hostages if I have to," he smirked as several ponies in armor levitating spears walked up behind him.

"You were so close as to convincing the princess that you actually were a real being, how pathetic. I can't believe you even thought that you had a chance," he said.

The doctor beckoned to one of the guards behind him to drop his spear and levitate me down.

"You won't get away with this," I yelled.

The guard levitated me tightly, I couldn't counter his levitation spell and he threw me onto the ground only to be lying in front of that psychopathic doctor and then he looked down at me.

"I'm afraid that is where you are wrong," he replied.

"Tie her up and make sure you cover her horn too, we wouldn't want her to let her to use magic," he said beckoning to the same guard.

"No," a voice spoke out loud.

Suddenly a pathway was made in the crowd; everypony continued to be silent and started to bow.

"I think you've put this poor pony through enough, don't you think?" Princess Celestia said as she appeared onto the pathway made by the crowd.

One of the guards behind the doctor interrupted her.

"...but, your majesty, this mare is a fugitive, and she is to be euthanized immediately due to a mysterious infection in her brain that is threatening to take over as we speak!" a guard said.

"I think that's enough, I will decide whether this pony's fate after we have a private discussion," she demanded.

"...but, your highness..." he said.

"That's enough, now be gone, I will not repeat myself," she said.

"Lyra, we have a lot to discuss, go ahead and help your friend out over there," she said as she looked back over at me.

"How do you know my name?" I asked.

"I know a lot more than that, I also know that it truly isn't your name but you're rather the disease the doctor spoke of since Lyra's memory is intact currently," she said helping me off the ground.

"Thank you for saving me, but why did you help me? I'm no more important than the thousands of other ponies in Equestria," I replied.

"You are way more important than you think, I am also aware that the real you is going to be taking possession for the last time tomorrow," she responded.

I unraveled the knots between Bon Bon's two rope restraints on her mouth and hooves and the cloth covering her eyes.

"So, Bon Bon, I take it, did this 'facade' tell you anything about itself before it lost the majority of its memory so it could take Lyra's?" Princess Celestia asked.

Keep in mind: Nopony remembers Shane, not even Princess Celestia, since he decided to sacrifice his life for Lyra (the mare who has broken her own contract in attempt to bring Shane back to Equestria and nearly killing herself as the result) making everypony forget about him since the contract has magical properties that not even Princess Celestia has control over.
