//------------------------------// // A new life // Story: After The NightMare Cult // by superfunnelc //------------------------------// (Well this is it you guys the first chapter of After the NightMare Cult, enjoy.) *CanterLot urgent care, 8 minutes after Crack Shot is pronounced dead, SeaBreeze's POV* Let me start off by telling you that, I have not had a "normal" life, some ponies would kill to be me, but it isn't all fortune, and mares. Well, there was that one time. Never mind, allow me to introduce my self, I am Prince SeaBreeze of Equestria, eldest son of Princess Celestia's twin sons, and commander of Equestria's most elite militarily squad, Omega Team. My team and I had just undertaken a mission, that if we failed Equestria would be plunged into night eternal. We now go to me sitting in a hospital bed. Enjoy. "Excuse me, your Highness but your mother is here." Said a nurse as our mother Celestia ran in. "Hey mom." I said. "I'll give you three some, privacy." Said the nurse closing the door as she left. "Oh, my babies are you okay!?" Said Celestia as she checked every inch of us. "Mom we're fine, we are not two anymore." Said Hercules. "Sorry, I was just worried about you two." Said Celestia. "We're fine physically, but mentally anything is possible. I mean I saw the Grim bucking Reaper reap Crack Shot, and that is not something you forget." I said. "I am so sorry." Said Celestia hugging me. "It's fine mom, it's fine. I just still can't believe he is gone." I said. "Hey bro, we're in this together we'll pull though." Said Hercules. "Boys I am so happy that you two came back, and Crack Shot will be remembered as a hero." Said Celestia. "Thanks mom." I said as she pulled Hercules and I into a group hug. "Excuse." Said a doctor as he came in. "Yes?" I said exiting the hug. "You and Hercules, are clear to leave. You both are remarkably healthy considering what you both went though." Said the doctor. "What about Crack Shot?" Asked Hercules. "He's in the morgue, we're trying to track down the next of kin, it's been pretty hard." Said the doctor. "I think Apple Jack might be next of kin. She was the closest thing he had to a family after his parents died." I said. "Alright thanks, oh and by the way you might wanna head out the back. Reporters are swarming the front." Said the doctor as he walked out. "Let's head home." I said as Hercules and I got out of our beds. "Hey mom, what happened to that black Pegasus? What was his name Dark or something?" Said Hercules as we neared the back entrance. "Dark Lightning, he is currently in a cell back at the palace waiting to be interrogated." said Celestia. "He can wait a few more days." I said as we exited the hospital via the back exit. "A carriage should be here soon." Said Celestia as a carriage pulled up. "After you." I said as Hercules, and Celestia got in. "To 343 Oat Street please." Said Celestia as the carriage began to move. "So mom, what where our grandparents like?" Asked Hercules. "They where the best parents anypony could have asked for. Why do you ask?" Said Celestia. "Oh, just wondering." Said Hercules. "Do you think we should tell her?" I whispered. "You heard what they said, do not tell anypony who you are." Said Hercules back. "What are you two talking about?" said Celestia. "Mom, you know those 2 hooded ponies who brought us to earth?" I said. "Yes." Said Celestia. "They where us." I said. "What!?" Said Celestia. "We where sent back in time to take our past selves to earth." Said Hercules. "And who sent you?" Asked Celestia. "The voice. A.K.A. Your father, our grandfather King Galaxy." I said. "I can't believe it. I knew that the hooded ponies felt familiar but, I never thought they would turn out to be you two." Said Celestia as we pulled up to our house. "Well this is it." I said stepping out of the carriage. "Jeez, I have know idea how we are going to break the news." Said Hercules as we entered our house which was pitch black. "Why are all the lights off?" I said turning the lights on. "SURPRISE!" Yelled Pinkie, and a bunch of other ponies who must have been hiding for ten minutes or so. "Hey, where's Crack Shot?" I heard Ice say. "Ya where is that pony, ah just wanna kiss him 'till the cows come home." Said Apple Jack. "Well, Crack Shot, he didn't make it." I said sadly. "What?" Said Apple Jack come closer. "he's dead AJ. I'm sorry." I said putting a hoof on her shoulder as she began to cry heavily. "AJ the doctors did all they could." Said Hercules. "No! It's all your faults, if you hadn't recruited Crack Shot to go on that suicide mission none of this would have happened! I can't believe that our foal will grow up not knowing it's father." Said AJ as ran out of the house crying. "Apple Jack's pregnant?" Said Blue. "Apparently." I said. "Well that killed the mood." Said Graze. "Well, I guess the party's off. Sorry everypony." Said Pinkie as she walked out of the house with her head hung low with the news as everpony else did the same, except for the remainder of Omega Team, and the rest of the Mane six. "It's okay dear Crack Shot is in a better place." Said Flutter Shy comforting me. "We could have done something, but we didn't. AJ's right it was my fault." I said sitting down on the couch. "Your wrong nopony could have seen it coming." Said Flutter Shy sitting next to me. "No your wrong, the night after the gala. I had a dream, in it I saw one of the team dieing, but I couldn't see who it was. I could have done something." I said. "It doesn't matter, if you did anything or not. Crack Shot would still be dead, and if you did something I couldn't bear it if I lost you." Said Flutter Shy reassuring me. "Thanks, but AJ still hates me. Because I let Crack Shot die." I said. "I'll talk to her." Said Flutter Shy. "Thanks, I just can't stop thinking about what happened, I need to get my mind of it." I said. "Oh, I have just the solution." Said Flutter Shy as she walked seductively to my room. "I know where this is going see you guys later." I said bouncing with joy towards my room. "So." Said Hercules looking at Twilight. "Sure." Said Twilight. "Ya!" Said Hercules as the two of them teleported to Hercules room. "So, anypony got a deck cards?" Said Blue Breeze. *End of Chapter* (A/N: Well guys this is it chapter 1 of the new story, also check out the expendables 2 trailer, I will not give it away but 2 very god like people are in it.)
