Fall of Two Worlds: Changing Status

I woke on some sort of bed as far as I could tell. I looked toward my body to notice the arrows had gone and bandages were replacing them. I yelped in pain as one of the bandages became bloody all of a sudden. I looked around to see lots of other ponies on white makeshift beds, unicorns wondered around using the occasional healing spell. The whole area was just outside the destroyed gates of Canterlot. I suddenly realised that there was no noise of a battle. I tried to tilt my head toward where the battle had been but noticed i was strapped down. I couldn't remember what had happened, just saving the guards then going to where the gates had been to see thousands of Changelings. It was clear that we had won, but I wondered what the cost had been. I looked toward a white unicorn and she ran over.

"Ah, your awake." She said, almost shocked and happy at the same time.

"I guess, what happened?" I asked. The unicorn gleamed up a little and smiled.

"We won. You and your friends saved the guards and charged the enemy, then a massive army from Cloudsdale, Ponyville and around those areas appeared and swarmed in from behind. The Changelings were defeated. You saved Equestria." The medic replied.

"No, I mean how did I get here?" I asked, relived we had in deed won.

"Oh, you passed out from blood loss, you would have died if Rainbow Dash didn't donate some of her blood for you. She saved your life." The medic replied, asked if there was anything else.

"Yes, can you bring my friends over. If non are too hurt." I asked, she nodded and left.

A few minutes later Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Heart Breaker and a very tired Rainbow Dash came over, the cyan Pegasus had a bandage on her foreleg from the donation I guessed. Heart Breaker had a bad limp but was otherwise fine, the rest had the occasional cut or bandage, but thankfully nothing serious.

"Your ok!" Rainbow Dash shouted with glee, hugging me, only dropping when I groaned in pain. "Sorry." She muttered.

"We won." I muttered.

"Yes, we did. But not without cost." Twilight replied. Here we go.

"How many?" I asked, saddened.

"Nearly all of the first force and a lot of the second." Twilight replied.

"I see. What was this about the huge army from Cloudsdale and that?" I asked.

"That would be us." I heard Lez say from behind me.

"We retreated, with everypony else, but none of us could live with leaving, even if it was forced." Zero said.

"So we ran to Ponyville, Cloudsdale and anywhere else we could get to in the amount of time." Stone Mountain added.

"Gathered an army." Cypher said.

"And came back to help your sorry asses." Lez finished. I tilted my head in thanks and Lez replied with the same gesture, then the group walked away.

"Where will you go?" I asked before Lez left.

"Home. I need a drink." He replied and walked off.

"Dari is dead though." Heart Breaker said. I saw that coming but still felt bad.

"The last Siren, died to save Equestria." I muttered. Everypony nodded and we continued to talk.

After a few minutes I looked to Heart Breaker.

"How is she?" I asked. He knew who I meant and gave a smile.

"Twilight and Rarity saved her life. Along with Luna when Twilight taught her the spell. Celestia is fine, in her tower talking to her guards. And her sister." He replied. I nodded my thanks and looked to Rainbow Dash.

"I should be dead. Again." I said to her. She looked to her hooves.

"You saved my life Rainbow Dash." I added.

"I know." She said, I knew from the show, ha, the show, it seemed so long ago. I knew from the Rainbow Dash who I knew, that she would normally gloat at this point, but she didn't. Maybe the battle had affected her, or something else. I didn't know.

"Thank you. I am in your debt."

"You don't owe me anything. I just happened to have the same blood type as you." She replied, more stern than before.

"Still. It was you who saved me." I said. Rainbow Dash just blushed.

"My little ponies, you did it." I heard a voice say, Heart Breaker instantly bowed and then was followed by everypony in the makeshift hospital.

"My princess." I said. Celestia nodded toward me. "I'd bow, but I am strapped down." I added.

"You do not have to bow to me. You, along with your friends saved Equestria. Twilight, stand up, and the rest of you." Celestia ordered, the mane six and Heart Breaker stood. Then, the princess buckled her legs and looked down. She was bowing to us.

After a moment of this she stood.

"We still have a problem." Celestia said.

"What's wrong?" I asked carefully.

"The portal between worlds is still open. Not big enough to be a danger, but could easily be tampered with." Celestia replied. I instantly saw where this was going.

"I am keeping the portal open aren't I?" I asked. Celestia just nodded, out of the corner of my eye I saw Heart Breaker look to the floor.

"But he defeated Discord. He killed him!" Pinkie Pie shouted, clearly upset about where this was going. It was for the best, I knew.

"He killed Discord, yes, but that didn't close the portal, only weakened it enough to save both worlds. I'm sorry, but you have to leave." Celestia said.

"Wait!" Twilight shouted. Everypony looked to her. "He is the link as a human." She said.

"Go on." Celestia muttered.

"Only his memories are keeping the portal open. His memories of Earth." Twilight replied. Celestia thought for a moment. Then, looked to me.

"Its your choice." She said. It was here, or Earth. I thought for a moment, thinking of my life on Earth and then here, the place I openly called home. Derpy was here, so were my friends, I had fought and died on Equestria. This was my home, it always would be.

"Take my memories." I said. Closing my eyes. Prepared.

"Ok. I have no idea how much remembrance you will have from your time here, I will try to give you as much memory of Equestria as I can, but I cannot promise anything." Celestia said, horn glowing. This was it, this was where I currently am, strapped on the bed, awaiting my new life of no memory of Earth. Here goes, to Equestria. I felt Celestia's magic touch me and I passed out.

            The End.
