Prologue

Prologue

BANG! The body dropped to the floor motionless. The man slowly walked up to the body, his long black hair and crimson red cape flapping in the wind and his golden armour on his left hand shining in the sunlight. He looked down at the body and just stared at it for a few seconds before turning around and walking away. He put his tri-barrel pistol back in its holster and continued to walk. The man stopped in the middle of a destroyed street and waited. Moments later a whirring noise was heard from behind him; a fleet of VTOLs (Vertical Take Off and Landing) in a v shaped formation came overhead and landed in front of the man. The lead VTOL’s sliding door opened and a girl with short light brown hair came out.

She had a stern but quiet voice.

Is it done? She asked.

The man replied with a deep voice. Yes…

They both got onto the VTOL and took off. About ten minutes into the journey the VTOLs were flying over a forest when they heard a loud explosion. The co-pilot of the lead VTOL spoke.

Uhh what’s that? He said.

The pilot turned to see one of the VTOLs on fire and crashing into the trees below. He then took hold of a comms device and began to talk into it.

Attack formation! Don’t let these bastards take us down!

The attack formation was only met with more VTOL explosions. Then a incredibly loud explosion was heard. Guys we’re going down. The man’s eyes widened, he grabbed the girl, ripped open the door and jumped out just before they hit the ground. About an hour later the man was woken up by the girl gently pushing his shoulder. Hey wake up, the girl said. They were by the crashed VTOL. He got up and looked around then talked.

Do you know where we are?

She looked at a little PDA she was holding then back up at the man.

From what I can tell we are in the White Forest.

She was about to finish when a crackle from a radio on the crashed VTOL interrupted them.

Hey… can… hear me?

They both ran right to the wreckage and the girl picked up the radio.

Yes we can hear you she said.

Good… go to… warehouse near the edge of… White Forest… we will pick you up there… as we can. The radio went silent.

The man began to speak. Is there a warehouse nearby?

The girl replied. Yes there is one; it was abandoned three years ago.

He spoke again. Good let’s get moving.

The two made their way through the forest narrowly avoiding the attackers and eventually made it to the warehouse only to find that the main entrance was locked.

The girl turned to the man and started to talk.

Can you find a way in?

He looked at her and spoke.

I’ll see what I can do.

The man proceeded to look around the perimeter of the warehouse. He stopped when he saw a rather large hole in the building. He took a few steps back and then ran at the wall and jumped while doing a front flip through the hole and landed safely on the other side. It took him about five minutes to find the main door’s control panel. It made a noise signalling that it is working and the door slowly opened. The girl walked in and looked around and something caught her eye. It was a stone tablet with an image of 5 gemstones around a larger gemstone and under that was some sort of writing.

The man came over and looked at the stone. He put his hand on it and a bolt of electricity shot straight into him causing him to utter one word “Harmony”

At that moment an explosion destroyed a large chunk of the warehouse and soldiers poured through

The man quickly pulled out his gun and dispatched a few of them; but there were too many of them. He ushered the girl behind him and they slowly backed into a wall keeping his gun at the ready.

The soldiers were raising their rifles to kill the man. He noticed a small speck in the distance which turned into a lot of specks and those specks turned into missiles and they were exploding on the soldiers. A short while after whirring noises were heard and around 20 airships came from the horizon heading directly at the warehouse; they kept firing missiles at the mass of soldiers. The airships were circling the building still firing upon them when a misfire caused a missile to head straight for the man; before he had a chance to react darkness overcame him.

(Meanwhile in the Everfree Forest)

Remind me why we going to Zecora’s place again Twilight?

I need to get some ingredients for a spell I’m working on.

What exactly will this spell do?

Well Spike it will… hey look over there!

The young dragon turned in the direction Twilight was looking and saw a creature on the ground in a clearing.

Twilight rushed over to it with Spike in tow.

What is that thing Twilight?

I don’t know Spike but it is injured. She could tell by the deep gashes on its face and the blood on parts of its clothing.

Let’s bring it to Zecora’s maybe she knows what it is.

Twilight carefully lifted the creature with her magic and continued on to Zecora’s home.

***I am not good with rhymes so I will have Zecora talk normally***

Zecora was balancing on a bamboo pole when someone knocked on the door. She got of the pole and went to the door to open it.

Hello Twilight what do you need?

Twilight showed Zecora the creature and she let them in.

So Zecora can you do anything to help this creature?

I am not sure Twilight I have never seen this creature before why don’t you try a healing spell on it?

She nodded and her horn started to glow a faint light blue which sent out a beam of energy to the injured parts of the creature and healed them.

It worked! Twilight said in an upbeat tone.

Very good Twilight now let it rest I will let you know tomorrow if anything changes.

Ok see you tomorrow Zecora bye.

She shut the door and began to mix up a potion.

(The Next Day)

Twilight woke up and went downstairs. Spike was preparing breakfast when he noticed her and smiled.

Morning Twilight!

Good morning Spike sleep well? She said

Sure did; are we gonna see the creature today?

We have to wait until we get a letter from Zecora.

At that moment there was a knock at the door.

Ah that must be the letter. She walked up to the door and on the other side was a derp eyed mail mare.

Uhh Twilight Sparkle?

Yes that’s me.

I got a letter for you. The mail mare passed the letter to Twilight.

Thank you.

No problem. The mail mare walked away.

She closed the door and used her magic to open the letter and begun to read: Dearest Twilight. The creature has woken up and it can talk. He says his name is Vincent Valentine; that’s all I know so far. I told him that some friends were coming over to see him. I will see you soon.  Sincerely: Zecora Muguubaana

Well let’s get moving I want to meet this Vincent Valentine; come on Spike.

The dragon followed the Unicorn out of the library and into the Everfree.

End of the prologue.

Chapter 1: Vincent Valentine

Chapter One: Vincent Valentine

The trip back to Zecora’s didn’t take too long; there were only a few bumps in the road and they did see something lurking in the shadows (I will use that shadow soon) but they brushed it off as nothing and continued on their way.

Zecora was making a potion when there was a knock at the door. She opened to door and Twilight stood there with Spike beside her.

“Twilight its good to see you!”

“Same here so where is he?”

“Oh Vincent is right over there”

She pointed to the opposite side of her house where Vincent was.

Twilight made a slow trot up to him then stopped about a meter away. She was hesitant to speak at first but eventually did.

“So your name is Vincent Valentine?”

“Yes”

“Well my name is Twilight Sparkle and allow me to be the first to welcome you to Equestria”

“Well… Thank you”

“Is it all right if I scan your body with a bio scan spell?”

“Bio scan spell?” Vincent was confused.

“It won’t harm you all it does is scan your body so I can figure out exactly what you are”

“Oh ok go ahead I guess”

“Ok now just stand still; I promise this won’t hurt”

Twilight’s horn begun to glow a light shade of green and a beam shot out of her horn and hit Vincent’s chest.

After a short while the beam faded away leaving a terrified Twilight in its wake.

“Oh no no no no no this is bad!”

“What do you mean?”

“I realised why you are here”

“So why am I here?”

“To defend this land against your own kind”

“What do mean my own kind?”

“I can’t tell; there was a prophecy that told of a human that would defend Equestria from an army of his own kind. But the pony who predicted it died of old age before he could tell the princesses the other part of the prophecy”

“So when will this prophecy happen?”

“I don’t know like I said the pony who predicted it died”

“What happens now?”

“I will need to do some more research and inform the princess of your presence; this will require you to follow me to my library”

“Ok then lets go”

“Wait a word of warning before we leave ponies have never seen a human before so you will get some weird looks from the townsfolk”

Twilight and Vincent both said goodbye to Zecora and made their way to town. Twilight was right; he was getting weird looks from the ponies in town. Some even ran into their homes and looked through the windows.

When they got to the library Vincent was astonished to see that it was actually built into a tree. Twilight noticed that he was looking at the library and smiled.

“The tree is real; magic is keeping it alive and ponies carved out a large chunk and built the library into it”

The two went in to the library and Twilight nudged Vincent to sit down; he found a chair and did so. Twilight went to one of the many bookshelves and started to look for a book; at the same time she begun to speak.

“Vincent I’ve been meaning to ask you what is that device on your leg?”

She was obviously acknowledging his gun so he took it from its holster and put it on the table next to him. Twilight was intrigued by the guns design so she brought it over to her with her magic. After a while of looking at the design Twilight accidently pulled the trigger causing a loud bang. The loud noise made her drop the gun on the floor. Vincent quickly went over to her and put the gun back in its holster.

At that moment the entrance to the library burst open and a cyan Pegasus came through.

“Twilight are you okay? I heard the noise and…”

The Pegasus looked over at Vincent standing over Twilight.

“Get away from here you monster!”

“Rainbow Dash calm down he…”

Twilight’s pleas were ignored as the pegasus flew full speed at Vincent. He kept on dodging all the attacks that the cyan pegasus could think of. Eventually she got tired but kept on on trying to attack Vincent. Twilight came between them both and used her magic to hold Rainbow dash in place.

“Rainbow calm down!”

“But that thing was attacking you; I heard the noise…”

“Rainbow that was me; I was examining that device on Vincent’s leg when I must pulled something on it causing it to make that noise”

“Wait a sec; who’s Vincent?”

“He is” Twilight pointed at Vincent.

Rainbow went right up to Vincent and jabbed him in the chest.

“Twilight may trust you but I don’t; watch yourself around me bub”

“All right I have to send a letter to Princess Celestia to inform her of your presence; I will be right back try to play nice Rainbow okay?”

Rainbow Dash crossed her arms.

“Hmph… fine”

Twilight couldn’t help but laugh as went into the kitchen to write the letter.

Dear Princess Celestia

I have reason to believe that a prophecy is about to come true; I will need to speak to you in person about this matter.

Please reply as soon as possible.

Your Faithfull Student: Twilight Sparkle.

She put the quill down and went back into the main room. It took some convincing but eventually Rainbow Dash left leaving Twilight and Vincent on their own.

(Meanwhile in the Everfree forest)

“Target acquired”

“Should we activate the portal sir?”

“Understood, standing by for further orders”

“Over and out”

(The next day)

Twilight was woken up by an extremely loud noise which caused her to jump right out of bed.

“What in the name of Celestia was that?”

She opened the bedroom door and saw that a massive chunk of the library was destroyed.

“Oh my… Vincent VINCENT where are you!”

Twilight went downstairs and looked out of the massive hole in her home.

She realised what caused the hole; a pack of manticores. Right after that there was several loud cracks. Twilight looked up and saw Vincent on top of a building shooting the manticores.

“What is he doing?” She thought to herself.

Her mind was blown when she saw him jump across from one building to another one on the other side of the street while in mid-air shooting the manticores. One by one the beasts fell and the remaining one fled. Vincent landed right in front of the hole in Twilights house. He could tell that she was amazed at his abilities.

“Vi… Vincent that was amazing how are you able to do that?”

“When I was younger I was tested on; my body is augmented; which gives me these super human abilities”

“Interesting do you think I could…”

They were interrupted by a blinding light. When it faded a certain alicorn of the sun appeared. Twilights eyes widened and she smiled.

“Princess Celestia!”

Chapter 2: Celestia

Chapter Two: Celestia

The Princess smiled.

“Hello my student”

She turned to Vincent.

“And you must be the human I’ve heard of”

Vincent just nodded.

Princess Celestia laughed.

“Not much of a talker are you?”

She then turned back to Twilight.

“So Twilight what is this prophecy you believe to come true?”

“Well Princess Vincent coming here is the first part of the prophecy”

“I’m sorry who?”

Twilight pointed to Vincent.

“Oh ok so what is the next part?”

“Well from all I know an army of his kind come here and try to destroy us and…”

That was all she needed to hear. The Princess turned to Vincent with a look of rage on her face. Her horn started to glow blood red.

Vincent quickly pulled his gun out of the holster and put the barrel right on Celestia’s forehead. (To be honest I would like to put a your move punk moment right here but that would ruin this chapter so I’m gonna leave it out)

Twilight was angry. “Both of you STOP!”

She used her magic to lift both of them in the air. The Princess was startled.

“Twilight what are you doing put me down”

“Not until you leave Vincent alone”

“But Twilight he is linked to the army you mentioned”

“Yes he may be but he saved Ponyville from a pack of manticores moments ago”

The energy around Celestia’s horn died down and Vincent put his gun back in its holster. Twilight put them both down and Celestia looked apologetic.

“I… I’m sorry Vincent I just…”

“It’s ok”

“So Vincent how did you get here in the first place?”

Vincent explained everything; the VTOLs, the stone tablet and the strange sensation he got when he touched it, everything. Celestia was shocked.

“So your world is actually linked to ours?”

“Somehow yes”

“I will need to research this further; Twilight, Vincent I need you both to accompany me to Canterlot”

Twilight smiled; she always loves going to Canterlot.

It took a short while for a chariot to get here; all three of them boarded and it took off. About halfway into the journey Vincent looked sad; Twilight came up to him and began to speak.

“Vincent what’s wrong?”

He didn’t respond but Twilight could hear him talking to himself.

“Lucrezia I’m sorry about what happened to you. I’m sorry about everything”

Twilight had a look of sadness on her face.

“Who’s Lucrezia?”

“So you heard that?”

“Yes I did; was she important to you?”

“Well if you want to listen; I will tell you about her”

Twilight sat down and listened to Vincent talk about Lucrezia and what happened to her.

“I… I’m sorry”

“It’s ok; there was nothing I could do”

Their conversation was interrupted by Princess Celestia.

“Here we are; Canterlot”

Vincent and Twilight looked in awe of the great capital of Equestria.

The city was beautiful; streets lined with marble and the buildings had a mixture of gold and diamond in their design. The citizens of the city looked like they don’t have a care in world. The three stopped in front of a large golden door presumably the gate to the palace. The gate opened and they went in.

After a while of being introduced to the guards and talking with Celestia about his world Vincent went to his room in the Canterlot castle to rest. Vincent was lying on his bed thinking about all that has happened in the past few days; he eventually went to sleep.

Fight: Pt One

Chapter Three: Deepground

The sunlight shone through the window and onto areas of the bedroom; including Vincent’s face which woke him up. After putting on his clothes he walked out onto the balcony overlooking all of Canterlot. Vincent just stood there taking in the peace and tranquillity of the morning. That was quickly interrupted by an explosion. Vincent looked around for the source of the noise and saw that it came from the street. He could see ponies running from something but he could not tell what. There was a faint whirring which got louder and louder until Vincent knew exactly what it was. Helicopters; more specifically Deepground helicopters; 3 of them came overhead and started firing missiles at different areas of the city. The only things that could be heard now were gunfire and explosions.

There was another whirring noise which got closer and closer to Vincent; he noticed that a Deepground heli spotted him and was going in for the kill. Vincent reached for his gun and was ready to fight the chopper.

Listen To this

The chopper was literally a meter away from his face; he could hear the sound of a minigun barrel turning giving him the signal to move. He dodged and hid behind a wall. The gun ripped apart the room. It stopped to cool down; Vincent took that opportunity to put a few holes into the heli. There was another sound; rockets. Vincent narrowly dodged the rockets and shot the chopper again.  ***Stop listening***

The fight lasted a good ten minutes before the chopper took too much damaged and crashed into the mountain. With the helicopter out of the way Vincent started to look through the other rooms for Twilight. Room after room was searched but he found nothing. Suddenly a noise caught his attention; a blood curdling scream. Vincent ran towards the source of the noise and ended up in the foyer. What he saw made him angry… VERY angry.

Twilight was on the floor in a small pool of blood with Celestia by her side; she was crying.

Vincent walked up to her and said one word.

“Where?”

Celestia looked up to him and was barely able to speak.

“Ou..out th..th..there” She pointed to the main entrance.

He walked up to the doors and literally kicked them off their hinges sending the two grand doors flying. Vincent walked out there and was immediately surrounded by Deepground soldiers; their guns aimed directly at him. A long deep laugh followed.

“Lower your guns men. I’ve got this”

The soldiers did exactly as ordered and lowered their weapons. A pure black puff of smoke covered the area in front of Vincent. When it cleared; someone he never though he would see again was standing there.

“Nero”

“Well you remember me; isn’t that nice”

He unsheathed his sword and placed the tip right on Vincent’s neck. Nero laughed again.

“It appears that I have the upper hand”

Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere.

“Oh no you don’t”

Then a large shuriken like object came from the right of Vincent knocking the sword out of Nero’s hand.

“Open fire! Kill him!”

The soldiers started firing at him but some sort of shield was protecting Vincent from harm.

It was Princess Celestia; she was using her magic to form a barrier around him.

The voice spoke again.

“Fire!” Rockets started firing from the castle walls killing a large amount of Deepground. Vincent finished off the rest with ease.

(Oh yeah and Nero Disappeared in the confusion)

Vincent knew exactly who the voice belonged to; it was… “Yuffie?”

The girl jumped out right in front of Vincent with a smirk on her face.

“The one and only”

“Wait Yuffie how did you get here?”

“Oh you’ll see”

Yuffie had this device on her right arm which she aimed to the sky and pressed a button on it which sent a blue beam into the sky; shortly after an extremely large blue orb appeared and out of it came…

Airships; WRO airships. They were coming out of the orb. By the time it closed there were at least 40 airships. Vincent was too busy looking at the airships to notice that there was one above him.

“HEY VINCENT!”

Vincent looked up and saw the airship hovering just above.

“It’s me Cid listen; there is too many of those bastards down there, we’re gonna need some extra help if we’re going to kill these guys, head to the main plaza. Cloud is there with Barret they’re protecting some of the civilians from Deepground. I’m not sure if they can hold out for much longer”.

Vincent nodded and ran off to the plaza with Yuffie in tow.

While Vincent and Yuffie were heading towards Cloud and Barret; Cid seemed to be having the time of his life firing at the Deepground soldiers.

“Hot damn another one bites the dust”

Cid has a passion for shooting the shit out of everything Deepground. Whenever he sees something of theirs he can’t help but shoot it.

It didn’t take Vincent long to reach the plaza due to his augmented body. When he got there he saw Cloud and Barret surrounded by hundreds of Deepground soldier bodies. They saw Vincent and walked up to him.

“Vincent where have you been man? Never mind about that I just got a call from Cid saying that Weiss has been seen at a town called Ponyville”

Vincent took a step back and clenched his fists.

“Weiss”

“From all we know he is the reason that Deepground is here and that all deaths here are his fault”

Vincent’s eyes widened and he got angry.

“WEISS!”

He screamed before beginning to turn into the beast within… Chaos.

He then flew off in the direction of Ponyville.

Fight: Pt Two Ending A

Chapter Four: Fight Pt 2

Ponyville was completely overrun with Deepground and there was a group of ponies by the town hall being shouted at by a certain person.

“I’m not going to ask you again where is this source of power you creatures are hiding”

The man punched the pony.

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about”

“That’s it”

He put his gun-blade on the pony’s head and pulled the trigger. The remaining ponies were in a state of fear. The man turned to the other ponies with a strong grin on his face.

“Ok who wants to tell me where this source of power is hmm?”

He looked at one of the others and placed his gun-blade on its chest.

“This is going nowhere tell me where the power is or I will kill you like I did with your friend here”

The pony was shocked and scared but managed to speak.

“It… its hidden deep underground right under this town. The only way to get to it is through a series of interconnected tunnels and the only way to get to them is for the current mayor of the town to use a magical amulet to open the hidden entrance into the tunnels”

“Thank you for co-operating” He then killed the pony and turned to the now extremely scared mayor.

“Do it”

Without hesitation she complied and put on the amulet which activated it and caused the town hall to split in half literally it was like a knife ran through the middle and revealed a tunnel descending into darkness.

He was about to go into the tunnel when he heard a loud angry scream.

“WEISS!!!”

The man turned to see an angry Chaos coming straight for him.

“Hold him off”

The soldiers nodded and opened fire on Chaos while the man went into the tunnel. He landed and literally sliced up the soldiers one by one. It didn’t take long for there to be a mountain of bodies. Chaos then turned to the tunnel and flew right into it.

Vince… Chaos was flying for what seemed like hours when an image of Celestia appeared in his mind.

“Vincent it’s me Celestia; I’m talking to you via your mind with a spell. Listen this “Power” that man is after is actually the source of all magical power in Equestria and if he gets it; he will be invincible. You are not too far from it now… hang on; something is heading your way… fast. I don’t know what it is but be careful”

At first he didn’t know what it was but the faint sound of whirring made it incredibly easy… a helicopter; to be more specific a Deepground helicopter; to be even more specific the same one he fought a year ago back when Deepground first appeared. How did he know it was the same one? Because it has the scratches and bullet marks from when they fought. It was repaired but it kept the marks as a reminder of what happened. Apparently the helicopters are part biological, part machine; recent info told the WRO that these choppers have human brains inside for advanced tactics and manoeuvres.

Anywhore back to the story.

The chopper was mounted with miniguns, rockets and even some form of laser cannon. It opened fire with its entire arsenal. Vincent barely dodged the barrage and turned around to shoot the heli. It kept on like this for a while before Vincent grabbed the choppers “Head” and ripped it off revealing the casing in which the brain is held and a bunch of complicated machinery. Vincent began to talk in a monstrous voice.

“Time to put you down for good”

He shot the brain’s casing three times which caused it to break and in turn the helicopter lost control.  Luckily he managed to get out before it blew up. Vincent then continued on his way through the tunnels.

It wasn’t long before he made it to this large chamber; trust me when I say large I mean LARGE! The chamber was built out of marble and granite… what I’m trying to say is it is beautiful.

Vincent was hiding behind a pillar and was listening in to a conversation between two Deepground soldiers.

“So what do you think this source of power Weiss is after is?”

“I don’t know but from the way he described it; it seems like it will make him invincible”

“That’s a one up for us then”

They both laughed then returned to their posts.

Out of nowhere the pillars started glowing and sent some form of magical energy to the centre of the chamber and it slowly formed an orb of energy. The orb emitted a faint humming noise and shot beams of light around the main chamber like a strobe light. Just then a door opened and Weiss came through; he started talking to the soldiers from earlier.

“How goes progress?”

“In about 5 minutes you will have the power contained inside the orb sir”

“Good now keep an eye out for Vincent Valentine; I saw him on the surface”

It was now or never; Vincent flew straight towards Weiss and tackled him to the ground.

“Well well well what have we here?” Weiss had a smirk on his face.

“Like what I did to your purple friend back in the palace?” Weiss laughed.

What Weiss said made Vincent angrier than you can ever imagine; before he had a chance to get at him Weiss pushed him off and got up.

He let out a short laugh before unsheathing his gun-blade.

"Well it looks like I have a minor “detail” to take care of. I won’t lose this time Vincent."

He began to fight by launching a couple of basic sword attacks which Vincent easily dodged. Vincent returned the greeting with his claws which Weiss mostly dodged except one which cut his skin.

“Ahhhh” Weiss cringed when the diamond like claws dug into his flesh.

(Imagine how cool It would be to have a gun-blade I mean come on; that’s fucking cool… uhh sorry back to the story)

Weiss opened fire on Vincent; a few bullets hit him but no damage was dealt. Vincent pulled out his gun which was transformed like him when he changed and shot Weiss a couple time; all of the bullets hit him causing him to drop his blade and himself to the floor. At that moment the room began to shake violently and the orb started to glow a mirage of colours. Shortly after an image of Celestia appeared in Vincent’s mind.

“Vincent listen to me something is causing the orb to self destruct. The only way to stop this is by a sacrifice.”

Vincent looked to the floor.

“I’m sorry Vincent but it is the only way”

“I think I know what has to be done”

Vincent grabbed the dying Weiss and walked right up to the orb.

“It’s time for you to go for good”

Weiss coughed up a small bit of blood and laughed.

“Wha… what are you going to… to do?”

“You’ll see”

He raised Weiss above his head and threw him into the orb. Weiss cried out in pain.

“How… this… AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

His body disintegrated and the orb returned to normal and disappeared.

“Well done Vincent”

Vincent returned to the surface and flew back to Canterlot. When he got there Celestia was kneeling by the body of Twilight; she was still crying. She saw Vincent and stepped back a little bit.

“Vi… Vincent is that you?”

“Yes it is now step back I’m going to do something”

She did as she was told and stood back. Vincent turned back into his normal form and kneeled down by Twilight’s body.

“I’m sorry this happened to you; but I can fix it”

Celestia was confused.

“What do you mean?

Before she could finish Vincent plunged his hand into his chest and ripped out the protomateria; he then placed it on Twilight’s chest and put both his hands on the glowing orb of power. It merged with her chest and her body started to glow. Twilight suddenly sat up and coughed a lot.

“Wha… what happened”

That was all she could say before she saw Vincent looking at her; he was smiling then he dropped to the floor. Tears were streaming from her eyes.

“Vincent? VINCENT! Wake up please wake up”

She was now all out bawling. Celestia came up to her and placed a hoof on her back.

“He… he sacrificed himself to save you. That is the single greatest act that I have ever witnessed and it will not go un-noticed”

***Three days later***

Celestia, Twilight and almost everyone in Canterlot and Ponyville were standing in the Ponyville Cemetery. They were all surrounding a grave stone; Vincent’s grave stone.

Celestia walked up and started to talk.

“We are here today to say goodbye to a great man; he saved me, my student and all of Equestria. He also defeated an enemy to this fair land and sent them back to where they came.

“Vincent; goodbye and good luck in the afterlife”

Everypony there was silent for a minute before leaving; except for one.

Twilight stood over the grave and began to talk.

“Goodbye Vincent I…”

I love you…

Chapter: ???

Chapter: ???

“He died like a hero; the way it was meant to be”

“What about his power Alpha; was it transferred?”

“Indeed it was but it will take a while for the power to reactivate after being transferred”

“So what happens now?”

“We wait Omega… we wait”
