Return

“It’s breathing seems to be irregular, Heller.” Sara said.

“How do you know that’s not just how the thing breaths?” Heller responded, looking around to see if there were more Blackwatch mooks around.

“No. From the reports, it’s physiology is the same as a horse or a pony, plus: all of the scratches seems to indicate that it's badly injured. See if you can find something that could help its wounds.” She explained as the creature started to open its eyes weakly. Sara checked the pulse of the unicorn and was horrified by what she found: a med pack would not help. Its wounds were too great.

She looked down at the creature she was trying to track down for nearly two weeks, waiting for it to react. The creature, which she now realised was female, talked to her in a language she could not understand, her eyes full of regret, and her tone pleading. Heller said something, but Sara did not pay attention.

“Hey, I found a med pa--what the hell are you doing!?” He screamed as Sara started consuming the creature. He ran towards her, trying to stop her, but was unable to. As Sara started to transform into the unicorn, who she now knew was named Twilight Sparkle, a wave of the equines memories flooded through her.

"You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of...magic.”

“I'll tell you what we've learned Discord. We've learned that friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for. ”

“Who are you? I mean, you're me, but I'm me too. How can there be two 'me's? It's not scientifically possible. You are not scientifically possible!”

She was quickly snapped back to reality when Heller knocked her into a wall, holding onto her windpipe .“WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!?” He screamed.

“I consumed her because she was not going to survive the next couple minutes, so I gave her a mercy kill. From her memories, she was pretty important in her country.” She told him. He loosened his grip, letting her drop down.

“Thanks. Now can you power the portal so I can go ‘home’ and see everypony.” She told him.

“Everypony?” He asked.

“Look, it’s how they talk. Just start the portal so I can leave and you can fuck shit up.” Sara told him.

He sighed, defeated. “Fine.” Heller walked up to the controls. “How the hell do you work this thing!?”

“Green button turns it on, red button turns it off.” She deadpanned.

“Well how the hell was I supposed to know that woman!?” He argued.

“There’s a sign saying that literally to your left.” Sara deadpanned again, pointing to the sign with her hoof before limping to the portal.

“Why the hell are you limping?” He asked.

“I have to make it seem that I was somewhat injured or they would suspect me being an imposter.” She told him.

“Well, good luck with that. Now get the fuck out.” He retorted before opening the portal.

As Sara walked to the portal, she turned around to wave goodbye to Heller, but she spooted some evolved coming out of nowhere. “We are here for the beast. Give it to us and we’ll just pretend you were never here.” One of them told Heller.

“Fat chance fugly.” Heller insulted as he punched the face of the evolved. One of them looked around. “Wait ,where’s Kerrigan? She was supposed to be here with the--” then, his eyes widened when he realised, “THAT BITCH! SHE CONSUMED THE BEAST! KILL HER.”

“DAMN IT SARA! RUN!” Heller screamed.

She did as she was told, making her way to the portal and encountering no problems. She jumped in before Heller smashed the controls. Because of this, the portal ride was bumpy to say the least.

When she landed, Sara actually twisted an ankle (do ponies have ankles? Also, oh the irony.) She looked around to see where she was and checked Twilight’s memories to see if they could help. Turns out, Sara was inside of the ancient castle of the Royal Pony Sisters. Tired from the trip, she started limping her way out and used her hunter sense to make sure there were no predators. “All I have to do is make it to the edge of the forest and I should be fine.” She thought to herself while walking.

When she finally found the exit, Sara collapsed near a cottage because of the exhaustion so didn’t see the yellow Pegasus flying towards her.

**********************************************************************************************************

I got up extra early inside my cottage to make Spike a special breakfast. He’s been feeling down ever since Twilight disappeared. I hope she’s alright. I went to check on him. Poor kid. Even with all the comforting I gave him, he had been crying himself to sleep for the past two weeks. I can’t blame him though. If the closest thing that you had to a mother just vanished out of thin air, you’d have the right to cry. I volunteered to watch the little guy because I knew what it’s like to lose your mother. She died when I was just a young filly and nopony should have to go through that alone.

Even Pinky, his girlfriend, tried to cheer him up, but stopped when she realised this was something he had to do himself.

“Hey, Spike! I made you some breakfast! Why don’t you come down?” I called out in a caring voice.

“No thanks Fluttershy.” He replied in a depressed tone. Poor kid hadn’t come down once since he got here.

“Oh...sure...I’ll be outside feeding my animals if you need me...ok?” I told him.

**********************************************************************************************************

I had just finished feeding my bear headed back inside when something caught my eye: a pony collapsing near the everfree forest. Worried that one of the animals of the forest would eat the poor thing, I flew as fast as I could to bring him or her back to my cottage to give him or her proper rest and care.

Who I find shocked me, to say the least. “TWILIGHT!” I shouted, quickly getting her on my back and flying at speeds that would make the sonic rainboom look like my pet snail Gary in comparison. Slowing to a relaxing stroll, I barged right in to my hut shouting, “SPIKE! GET DOWN HERE! I HAVE SOMETHING I NEED YOU TO DO!”

I nearly scared the scales right off the poor guy. “Gah! Fluttershy! Why are you--” He stopped himself once he saw the pony on my back and started to bawl up. “--is...is that...Twilight?”

I just nodded my head. He ran up to me, cried, gave me a hug. “Spike, I need you to send a letter to the Princess. I mean...if you don’t mind, that is.”

“S-s-sure.” He sniveled, wiping away tears and snot before leaving to get a quill and some paper. I put Twilight on the couch so she could sleep comfortably. When Spike got back, I asked him to tell the Princess that I found Twilight by the Everfree Forest and that she was ok. The response said that she was coming to Ponyville within the next couple of hours.
