"That's interesting." The Doctor said as he moved my hoof and leg around to make sure it was real.
"Doc....Doctor, how did you know this would happen?" I asked.
He Just smiled and looked past me. "I'll explain later. Right now, this universe needs you."
I turned around to see Luna and Night struggling to stand. Celestia hovered a couple feet above the throne laughing.
"With the sun at full burn I am gaining more energy by the seconds."
"HEY!" I shouted. Everypony looked at me and the Doctor. "I never said we were finished."
Her jaw almost hit the floor. "It's.... It's impossible! You were dead."
I was tapping in the power of pain and the magic surged through my body. "That makes it twice!"
I teleported directly in front of Celestia and hit her in the face with my right hoof with a burst of magic. She flew through the glass behind the throne. I went down to Night and Luna and hugged them both.
"I think it's time for you two to rest. I'm going to finish what I started."
Celestia busted through a wall and flew as fast as she could toward me. I set up a magic barrier and waited for the impact. When she hit the barrier, a huge blast of orange aura engulfed Celestia. She screamed as more power was forced onto my barrier. Nothing was working. When the aura disappeared she looked up at me.
"There's nothing you can do. This world is no longer in your control." I said while holding the barrier up.
She looked at the floor and started cackling. "OH you think you can kill me?! I will end you even if I have to kill myself!"
She jumped back and looked at me. I'd never been scared from a ponies gaze, but hers was something else. She was laughing and crying at the same time. Just as she was about to attack, Luna called out to her. "Sister! Please don't do what I think your going to do!"
Celestia just smiled. "I offer up this contract to the pits of Tartarus. Grant me the power and take what you want!"
Celestia's eyes started glowing red ad her horn turned black. She fired a bolt of magic that slammed into my barrier. The force of the impact made me tremble. I would't be able to keep this up for long. One after another, magic bolts bombarded the barrier. The pain to keep the shield up was growing , but it wasn't helping to provide more energy. I started to feel weak and I could see the barrier fading.
Simple. I'll just tap into my fear to hold her off. I thought. When I closed my eyes and started thinking of things I could fear, I'd come up blank. What?! Why can't I fear anything? I should be scared of death, but for some reasons it doesn't bother me.
Just as the shield was going to drop, Luna hugged me.
That's why I'm not scared. She's here with me, so I can't lose!
The barrier renewed it's self and I started moving toward Celestia. After a blast of magic I could hear Celestia scream. When the smoke cleared her right fore leg was missing. Blood was on the floor where her leg used to be. Luna cried out.
"Sister stop! You know what that kind of magic does to you!"
Celestia was still laughing. "DIE! DIE! DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE!"
More magic started flying and blasted the shield and the area around the shield. I looked at Night, who was horrified. That was still the mare he loved, and he had to watch her destroy herself to kill me and Luna.
"Night. I'll get as close as I can and you try to calm her down." I yelled over the massive explosions.
He nodded and we moved forward. The pain from keeping the shield up was being soothed knowing that Luna was closer than ever before. Celestia changed her attacks from magic blasts, to a constant flow of magic. We got all the way to her horn as her magic slowly faded away. She lost her left hind leg. Night quickly jumped out of the barrier and wrapped his fore legs around her and pulled her close.
"Please stop this! I don't want to see you in pain. This wasn't the mare I fell in love with. I want princess Celestia back, not this evil queen. Please!"
Slowly, Celestia's horn returned to white, and her eyes began to show again. I dropped my barrier and we huddled around Night and Celestia. She was crying into his shoulder and he was just holding her tight. Blood and burnt fur stained her white coat. The war was over. The Doctor came up to me and smiled.
"No more death. No more pain. Just new life." He said.
"Right Doctor. That is the way of this new world."
"Do you remember what princess Celestia looked like before all of this?" The Doctor asked.
I raised a brow. "Yeah why?"
"Focus on that image. I want to test my last theory."
I took a deep breath and remembered the time I saw Celestia with Night. She looked happy and so did Night.
"Look."
I turned around and the same magic that repaired me slowly began rebuilding Celestia's missing legs. Night and Luna were crying as Celestia stood on all four of her legs. The sisters looked at each other and after a thousand years of war, death, and hatred, they hugged each other and cried.
Night looked at me and smiled. "Thank you."
After the sister were done, they came toward us. We gladly accepted our hugs. I looked into Luna's eyes and smiled.
"I know it's long over due, b-but.... Do you think w-we could k-kis."
She kissed me before I could finish. I closed my eyes and kissed back. We held that kiss for a long time. I wanted time to stop right at that point. My long journey had finally come to an end. I was at peace. We broke our kiss and rested our fore heads on each other.
"Everything is perfect." I whispered.
"I'm sorry." We all looked at the Doctor. "I'm so so sorry."
I smiled at the Doctor. "Why? Everything's prefect now."
His grim look didn't change. "No you don't understand. This world is collapsing. We'll all be dead in ten minuets."
"How?!" I yelled
"This world isn't meant to be like this. I had wondered why the TARDIS had a hard time flying and the sonic had a hard time finding the most powerful source of energy. You are the reason this world exists. A fixed point in time changed, and that caused a separate reality to become real." He looked down. "I had a hard time figuring it out until you told me to lock on to the most powerful creature in this world. The sonic said you were the most powerful, and it's true. Look at yourself and Celestia. That energy is the same as the energy in the void you used to create that world. This whole time I was trying so hard to make it go away, but now this world will end because you've completed your mission. The TARDIS locked on to the key point that changed this world." He looked back up and I could see the pain in his eyes. "You were never suppose to meet the princess. in the original time line, you were sick and in bed until you died."
I was taken back. "Why..... Doctor why dose this have to happen?"
The doctor took a deep breath. "The universe makes you chose the worst things. There's only one way to save this world from collapsing and turning into a void. I need to take you back to your death. Then the world will be set straight."
"No you can't do this!" Luna cried out.
The Doctor looked away. "I'm sorry. We're down to five minuets."
Luna buried her head into my chest. There wasn't anything I could do. I already knew what I was going to chose.
"Doctor." Luna looked up at me. I couldn't stand to see her in so much pain. "If I go will everything from this world cease to exist? Will anypony remember these events?"
"Correct. the world will reset to a more peaceful setting and nothing from this war ridden world will exist."
I took a deep breath. "It looks like that's the only option."
Luna grabbed my right fore leg and pulled me close. "This can't happen! After all of this, we'll just be alone again."
"Listen to him. Everything will be alright. You, Celestia, and Night will go on living. I need to do this. I need to make everything right." I said while looking away from Luna's face.
"I would rather die, before I let you go again. She yelled.
Night suddenly spoke up. "Hey look." He said while looking out of a busted window.
We all gathered around the window and saw a bright white light slowly advancing to the castle.
"Please be with me in this time of death." Luna asked while holding on to my leg.
"Please forgive me."
I teleported myself and the Doctor to the entrance of the blue box and shed a tear.
"Quickly Doctor! We need to leave."
He nodded and we entered the box. He pulled on some levers and spun a strange device then looked back with a hoof on one last large lever. "Are you sure you want to do this?" He asked.
"Yes Doctor. Make everything right."
He threw the lever and the TARDIS shook for a few seconds. When it stabilized the Doctor looked at me.
"Outside those doors await your future. Once you step outside, you'll remember nothing. I understand that was a hard choice to make." He looked away at the last part.
"You've made a similar correct?"
He looked at me with a shocked face. "H-How did you know."
I just smiled. "I could see that look on your face. The same one I made when I was looking at the mirror before I left."
"Yes well. it seems like the universe sometimes rests on the hero's shoulders. Weither what we do is right or wrong." He replied while looking at the TARDIS.
"Doctor. Please travel with another pony. I would hate to see you sad in this world." I said while heading for the doors.
"You still give advice and care for me in your time of demise. You truly are kind hearted."
I smiled. "You'll be the only person to benefit from my words now. The rest of my words will be lost in time."
I pushed the door open and a bright white light enveloped me.
My life was short, but it was well lived. Though I wanted so much more out of life. I guess I can only image what would've happened after. I just hope Luna is happy. That's all I ever wanted. I think it's time to rest. I've done everything I could.
