Can't wait to be Human!
Desires
Previous ChapterEverypony was going about their day as usual in Ponyville, some were at the market, others in their homes, some at Sugar Cube Corner for some sweets to get through the day, and others going to Carousel Boutique to get some measurements for some new clothing. Everypony was doing great, well...maybe not everypony.
"These sandwiches are amazing." Isaac said as he took his last bite from the meal Spike prepared for their lunch that afternoon at the hospital.
"I'm sure Spike would really appreciate that compliment Isaac" Twilight said as she started cleaning up and gathering what they used.
"Thanks again for the lunch Twi." Lyra said as she lied down on her bed,
"No problem Lyra." she said as she levitated her basket on the table.
"I need a diversion for Isaac...I really don't want him to hear any of this..." Twilight thought. "I got it", Twilight took her basket and looked inside, "Oh no"
"What's wrong Twilight?" asked Isaac
"I forgot our dessert, I was sure I put it in here.."
"Well, maybe I can go get it" Isaac volunteered
"Really? I would hate to be a bother.."
"It's no problem, besides, I actually want to ask Spike about those sandwiches he made"
"Alright then" with a nod, Isaac got out of the room and made his way towards the library. "That'll keep him out for a while..." she thought.
"So what's the desse-"
"I know what you're up to Lyra..." Twilight suddenly said with a worried look on her face, "I can tell you right now, that what you're trying to get from him, will not end well for you."
Lyra quickly responded with a lie, "I don't know what you're talking about Twilight" she mused.
"You know very well what I'm talking about...", Twilight said now with an annoyed look, "Don't lie to me, you're planning on sacrficing Isaac with that spell you found on that book!"
Lyra, who kept a cool face, was obviously intimidated by Twilight, and for good reasons. She was a student of the Princess, a bearer of an Element of Harmony, the most elusive one in fact, and was an incredibly potent unicorn. However, her heart would not be swayed, she was set on getting rid of all the scary humans so nopony will ever be hurt by them.
"I'm trying to help everypony Twilight...humans are not what I thought they were, they're monsters Twi! Monsters who will only hurt for their pleasure! I'm gonna get rid of all of them and do a great service to everypony!"
Twilight was horrified at what she heard and retaliated, "What about Isaac? Does he seem like a monster to you? A bloodthirsty animal searching for its next prey? Is that what he looks like to you??" Twilight reasoned
"No, he doesn't...he's a sweet boy...it's a real shame for him to go, but, one life does not equal to millions of potential deaths from the hands of his kind, you've read that book too, right? Can you not see that they are just violent bipedals who crave for violence and war?" Lyra responded.
"No, that's not what I see...I see a great civilization where he's from, a kind that has advanced so much in technology and science, a great civilization with tons of potential to do good for everypony." Twilight walked closer to Lyra and looked her straight in the eyes, "Please Lyra, I beg of you, as a friend...please don't go through with this...no good will come from this"
Lyra leaned closer to Twilight and whispered in her earnwith a wide grin, "I will never stop, I will go through with this and end humanity..." Twilight's eyes widened as she heard her intents and took a few steps back from somepony she used to see as a friend, but is now a fiend to her eyes.
"The Princesses will never let this happen, they'll stop you...I wish it didn't have to come to this, but I'm going to have to report you to the Princes-" Twilight was cut off as Lyra started laughing. Twilight just stood there, like a bird about to get hit by a spell that would turn it into an orange.
"Do you really think I'm that ignorant Twilight? Of course I took precautions just in case you or somepony else caught me and reported me." Lyra as she stopped laughing.
"What do you mean 'precautions'? Twilight asked, dumbfounded by the confidence Lyra had with her failsafe.
"I mean, I'm not afraid of any of you, I just learned a spell that would erase the memory of anypony from the last 12 hours...pretty convenient right? I get to do whatever I want and just zap anypony who saw me and walk away like nothing happened" Lyra said as she got up from her bed and her horn lit up.
Twilight made a defensive stance and prepared for the spell with a counter, "You won't get me that easily, we both know very well that our levels in magic are too far apart..." she said as her born lit up as well.
"That may be true, but levels aren't everything..." Lyra said as her horn glowed brighter from charging up a spell. "I will succeed with my plans and nopony will stop me."
"No, you won't...I'll stop you, I won't let you lay a hoof on Isaac..." Twilight said as her horn glowed brighter as well.
Both mares stared at each other for a certain amount of time, until Lyra stood up on her hindlegs as she aimed her horn at Twilight, immediately, Twilight set a magic barrier in front of her, but to her surprise, Lyra actaully did a teleportation spell to where Twilight was most vulnerable and couldn't have enough time to defend, she turned around to make another barrier but to no avail, Lyra tackled her and pinned her to the ground. Lyra was surprisingly strong for a mare and had no problem making Twilight stay put on the ground. She quickly cast a nullifying spell on Twilight's horn rendering her from using any sort of magic.
"For a know-it-all Twilight, that sure was dumb of you, not guarding your rear for possible attacks.." Lyra said as she charged her spell, "Nopony will stop me from getting rid of humans...nopony...", Lyra aimed her horn which was now glowing brighter at Twilight's forehead.
"Please! Don't do this Lyra! No good can come from this!" Twilight begged with tears in her eyes, "Isaac is a good human, he doesn't deserve this! He's a kind and sweet boy who shouldn't be used for this crazy cause! Please stop this pointless pursuit Lyra, just leave him be and I'll send him back safe and sound...I know that's what you want for him as well..." Twilight pleaded, Lyra thought about what Twilight said and she was right.
"I do want that...I want him to be happy, I care for him. He's a kind and interesting human indeed...but..." Lyra now looked Twilight straight at the eyes, "He's mine now! I know he will appreciate what I'm doing and I'm sure he would gladly sacrifice himself for everypony and do a great service to our dimension...he's mine Twilight, all mine..."
Lyra cast the spell on Twilight, and just like that, all of what just happend faded away from Twilight's mind like nothing even happened.
"Nopony will stop me, not even our so-called 'Princesses' will make me cease with my plan...humanity will end, once I get everything ready...it will all end..."
Later that afternoon...
"Twilight? Twilight? Are you alright?" said Isaac as he shaked her awake, Twilight woke up with a splitting headache.
"W-what happened?" she asked to anyone around her.
"You suddenly fainted while we were talking Twilight, I don't really know why.." Lyra said with a friendly smile, Twilight quickly realized they were no longer in the hospital.
"W-where are we?"
"At my house, the doctor said it was alright and I could go home, they gave us some medicine for you as well when you got up, here" Lyra levitated some pills for Twilight to help with her headache.
"Thanks Lyra, maybe I'm just tired from all the late night reading..." she said as she took the pills.
"Um, Twilight?" Isaac asked.
"Yes?"
"I actually needed to ask you about my trip to my dimension.."
"What is it?"
"I don't really need you to make one anymore, I've decided to stay here instead...I like it better here and I want to spend more time with you and your friends, and Lyra of course" he said with a cheerful smile.
"A-are you sure? I mean, I'm sure all your loved ones are worried sick about you..."
"I, actually have no family there anymore...they all died in an accident..."
Twilight was shocked at what she just heard, "I-I'm sorry for bringing that up..." she said while she got closer to Isaac to comfort him. Even Lyra was shocked at he just said, which made her wonder, "Why do you still want to go back then?".
"It's alright, I still remember them and my memories of our times together make me feel like they're still with me wherever I go..." Twilight then hugged Isaac which he returned, Lyra joined as well to comfort her troubled human.
"Well, it's getting late, I should get going...Spike must be looking for me by now." Twilight said as she headed out the door.
"Alright then Twi, I'll see you around." Lyra said as she walked beside her to get the door.
"Good evening Twilight, be careful, alright?" Isaac said as Twilight walked out the door.
"Oh, since you're staying here Isaac, I might as well prepare an audience with Princess Celestia for you to welcome you as a new citizen in Equestria."
"Thanks Twilight, I'd like that" Isaac said aith a smile, "I'll stop by whenever I'm bored, maybe we can talk more about sciency things"
"Sure thing! I think Spike is starting to get annoyed with me talking about all that anyway..."
"I'll see you tomorrow then..."
"Sure, it's a date" Twilight didn't realize what she just said, and just blushed all of a sudden.
"Uhh, you alright Twilight? You're looking a little...blushy...", Lyra pointed out with a mocking tone, which caused Twilight to just babble the rest of what she wanted to say.
"OkayI'llseeyoutomorrowhavegoodnightBye!" she said as she tucked tail and ran to who knows where.
"What was that about?" Isaac wondered
"I don't know, maybe she just remembered something she had to do, we should go to bed now, where do you want to sleep?" Lyra asked Isaac as she headed towards the stairs.
"Maybe the couch, I'm kinda getting used to cramp spaces." Isaac joked
"Well, my bed's pretty big...and it's kind of lonely...maybe you could sleep there?"
"A-alright then" Isaac said as he followed Lyra to her room. They lied down seperately at first, but after a while, Lyra got closer to Isaac, "C-can I sleep on you like when we were at the hospital? I really had a good sleep that time" Lyra asked.
"Sure, come here.." Isaac said as he carried her onto his chest, just like last time, "Better?"
"Definitely, I'm starting to really like sleeping like this...thanks for being here Isaac" Lyra said as she closed her eyes.
"No problem Lyra, anything for a friend" he said as he went to sleep.
When Isaac was already asleep, Lyra looked at Isaac and smiled, "Nopony else can have you...you're mine my dear human...all mine..." she said as she left a small peck on his forehead.
