“Wake Up Demi!” I heard a young male voice and a prick on my back, as well as a lot of shuffling around

“Fucking hell is it wednesday already?” I murder as I recall memories of the dustman blaring his loud as hell siren

Turns out it was just Spike, the shuffling was some ponies downstairs having a party… well, i guess it would make sense to stay awake since the sunrise is when the summer sun festival begins, meeting Celestia and all that

I look to Spike

“Im alright just head downstairs, I’m gonna go freshen up” I say, as he leaves, not getting a single word in edgewise

I open my pre-packed emergency saddle bag for whenever I need to go outside, looking inside to see two beer bottles, a custard cream sachet and some moldy sandwiches

Its been a whilst since I went out..

“Fucking hell…” I don't bother with trying to change anything out, the Beers I’ll need to deal with ponies, the custard cream for any sweets (everything's better with custard) and the moldy sandwiches which were initially for eating, but… well they're just bad now

Throwing the modly sandwiches in the bin nearby as a common decency to myself, before heading towards the shower and bathroom, cleaning myself off as the party below me was beginning to thin a bit. I managed to see that Twilight had already set almost everything of hers set up, taking out a guest bed and putting her stuff on it. She packed pretty heavy, most of it being ink and quills and things of the sort, but I just kept to a toothbrush, my emergency saddle bag, and daily necessities

I try to rub my eyes with fingers that aren't there, a common side effect of using that body during my dreams, and ended up putting on my glasses

Turns out my vision went to shit as I grew older, and whilst magic could do a temporary fix for a bit in emergencies, its easier and better to just use glasses. Since it was a natural process, my death wouldn't reverse it

Same for my vision in my past life… speaking of, since I could only remember until I was about 15. I remember my first few deaths, then my parents reporting me being an Ajin, then the government taking me away

I also remember how the country i was living in was going to shit because of the new PM

What am I doing saying ‘Country I was Living in’, its not a mystery that I lived in Britain

I wonder if those Chavs grew up into functioning adults or did they become crackheads? Probably the latter

“I could go for a cigarette…” I say to myself in the shower

I only had the one packet that I brought over from Manehatten in my shirt pocket

I thought many other thoughts as I finished up, drying myself off

I put on some clothes, a tank top with jeans. Most ponies don't wear clothes unless going to events but I prefer to always wear them since it helps block ponies seeing my blank flank, and i feel uncomfortable without them

Speaking off events, I didn't even realise since I was too obsessed with my research, but my 21st birthday came and went, Celestia probably sent a letter that I forgot about

Now that I’m fresh and ready, I realise all the humbuzz from below was gone, indicating that everypony probably left to go see Celestia make the sun rise

“Shit, I spent too long showering!”

Quickly rushing, I take my saddle bag and fling it on my back before bursting out of the house towards the location listed, somewhere in the town hall, no clue where that is

“Icarus!”

Appearing besides me, Icarus flies upwards, before coming down and pointing me in the direction with most ponies

With heaving breaths, I manage to sneak in, standing next to Twilight, who seemed a little to preoccupied with something she was thinking about to care that I arrived in the nick of time

Spike was sitting on her back, admiring the decor of the place

There was a bird song going on, in the background, and a yellowish cream coloured pegasus mare with pastel pink hair conducting it, with three butterflies as a cutie mark floating in the air

I like this one

The spotlights panned to a grey haired older hair with a darker shade of creme than the other one, maybe their related? Probably not

"Fillies and Gentlecolts, as Mayor of Ponyville, it is my great pleasure to announce the beginning of the 1000th Summer Sun Celebration!” She readjusted the glasses on her face as I do it myself as well on instinct

All the ponies around us began to cheer at this statement, yet I could tell something was on Twilights mind

“In just a few moments” the Mayor continued “Our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year!

“And now, it is my great honour to introduce to you the ruler of our land, The very pony who gives us the Sun and the Moon each and every day… The Good, the Wise, The bringer of harmony to all of Equestria…” The lights pan upwards, as a white coated unicorn with a (amazingly well maintained) purple mane, pulled down a rope that opened some curtains revealing! “Princess Celestia!”

Backround Music:

Nopony was there. Everypony around us began to murmur as I heard Twilight mumble

“This can’t be good…”

“Calm down everypony, I’m sure there’s a reasonable explanation…” The Mayor attempted to calm everypony. It didn't work, as the hall was stricken with silence

A Pink pony besides Twilight broke the tension

“Ooh! Ooh! I love guessing games! Is she hiding?”

The purple maned unicorn from before walked up, and announced some not so great news

“She’s gone!”

Everypony gasped

“Oooh… she’s good…!” The Pink Pony stated, before yelping “AHHH!”

A purplish blue mist filled with stars collected where Celestia should be, slowly materialising into a pony… an Alicorn

“Oh no…” I hear Twilight

One with mist-like hair covered by a helmet, and a variation of the royal guards armour I had never seen before

“Nightmare Moon…” Spike immediately fainted, falling backwards onto the floor dramatically

“Oh my beloved subjects! Its been so long since I’ve seen your precious little sun-loving faces…” The mysterious Alicorn known as ‘Nightmare Moon’ said with spite…

“What did you do with our princess!” Yelled a light blue coated pegasus with a rainbow of a mane, flying as fast as she could towards Nightmare Moon, only to be stopped instantly by an Orangish earth pony mare with freckles and a cowboy hat, biting down on her tail

“Woah there nelly!

Nightmare Moon simply released an Eerie laugh…

“Why? Am I not royal enough for you?” there was a sudden shift in tone, into something of anger “Don’t you know who I am!”

“Yay! More guessing games! Uhm… Hockey Smokes! How about Queen Meanie? No! Black Snooty! Black Sn-” The cowgirl pony who was still holding the pegasus by the tail, shoved an apple into the Pink Ponies mouth

“Does my crown no longer count now that I’ve been imprisoned for a thousand years?” Nightmare Moon intimidated the yellowish pegasus pony, before moving to the purple maned one and lifted her face with her mist mane “Did you not recall the legends? Did you not see the signs?”

“I did!” Twilight interuppted, holding her ground against the Alicorn “And I know who you are! You’re the Mare in the moon! Nightmare Moon!”

Everypony gasped yet again. It seems they do this alot

“Well Well Well, somepony who remembers me… then you also know why I’m here!” she challanged

“Your here to… Your here to…” Typical Twilight, always being stumped on the easiest questions. Not like I knew the answer either though-

Nightmare Moon let out another laugh

“Remember this day, ponies, for it shall be your last! From This moment forth, the night, shall las-”

“Sorry to interupt miss Moon… but what your saying is your the bad guy?” I stopped her before she could finish her sentence

“Me? The bad guy? No! Im simply allowing you ponies to indulge in the night! Forever!”

“Alright, Eternal Tsukiyomi Type Villain, good to know. I hope you’ve enjoyed your power trip, because its about to end… ICARUS!”

Suddenly, three holes appeared across her chest, blood dripping to the floor, but it only managed to go so far before her chest turned to mist

I was the only one who was able to see, Icarus's Ring, Middle and Index finger beginning to pierce her body. It only managed to get an Inch or two inside of her body, but it was more than enough to catch her off guard for what happened next

“Y-You Impudent little! How did you!?” she was in utter shock, unable to understand how I managed to harm her without using magic

“Knew that wouldn't work… well, might as well try this new spell of mine out!” My horn glowed with a bright silver light, as my entire body began to be encompassed in mana “HEAVENLY RESTRICTION VERSION 1.0!”

Simply put, I pushed as much magic as physically possible within my muscles, automating the process with a simple spell, but since its all my magic… I won't be able to use any other spells right now…

Launching myself upwards at Nightmare Moon, I prepare for physical combat of the greatest kind, as the Cowgirl pony stops holding onto the pegasus's tail, and she launched towards Nightmare at blitzing speeds. I managed to get there first, and I landed the first blow straight to the muzzle

Yet she turned to mist before I was able to touch her, and she escaped…

“Dang it… I almost had her there…” If only I was a little faster…

Icarus caught me, stopping me from landing straight on my Muzzle. Right now, the only way to reverse this Psuedo-Heavenly Restriction would be for me to die. For normal ponies, this spell would be a death sentence since it would permanently remove your ability to use magic. What makes spells complex is not just the effect, but the deactivation. Since I can skip the deactivation of spells I apply on myself (since all I have to do is die in order to reverse it), I can effectivly half the complexity of most spells

“Well Twilight? Mind explaining who the hell that was?” Twilight would know. Whilst I keep my head in scrolls or combatative magic, Twilight researches all sorts of things, such as the History of this country… thats also why I have the upperhand in combat situations

Whilst Twilight has the Talent to be an all-rounder, I’m forced to be hyperspecific in what I research

Before anything could even be said though, Twilight darted out of there, a passed out Spike plonked on her back

Me, the yellow pony, cowgirl pony, pink pony, purple maned pony and rainbow pony all dashed after her. She had managed to get to the Library first

Well… It’s been a hell of a long time since I’ve fought anyone… so this will at the very least be fun…
