//------------------------------// // It All Comes Down to This // Story: Aliens and Ponies // by Hazel_Hester777 //------------------------------// Fluttershy woke up at the sound. “BUNNY!” ________________________________________ The alien looked at Celestia’s face, half-afraid and half-angry. Her face showed fear. The princess was really mad at her. The alien kept squirming in her magic’s grasping. “Bunny!” Fluttershy gaped at the sight. The alien looked to her side. “Fluttershy, help me” “Princess Celestia, what are you doing?” Twilight questioned her mentor. “I’m sorry, Twilight. But this alien is more powerful than me, and therefore, I cannot tolerate it!” “What’s wrong with having around 1 creature that’s more powerful than…wait, WHAT?!” “Yes, this creature’s race has a lot more power than me, or the other princess and villains combined!” “Celestia, please, I’m begging you. She’s the only family I have, don’t take her away! Please!” Fluttershy begged, crying now that she was about to lose yet another friend. She paused. She'd never referred to Bunny as "family" before, but the more she thought about it, the more it fit. If she ever got out of this, she would make sure to let her know all that. “This is for your own good, Fluttershy!” Celestia roared. With that, she emitted a powerful spell that caused everyone in the room to be unconscious. Bunny watched in horror as she was taken away. ________________________________________ Only family I have left… You can’t kill something that already died… Fluttershy, help me… All these thoughts raced through Fluttershy’s mind; she woke up like a spring at the last thought. “Twilight?” she shook the body of the Alicorn beside her. “Just 5 more minutes please” Twilight mumbled in her sleep. Fluttershy wasn’t gonna stand up for that. “TWILIGHT SPARKLE, YOU’RE LATE FOR CLASS!” The Alicorn woke up as though she was electrocuted. “I’m late?! For how long?! Please don’t send me away!” she panicked. When she realized it was just a wake-up call and Fluttershy was just beside her, she blushed in embarrassment. “Sorry, what happened?” “Celestia got here, she knocked us all out unconscious, and she took Bunny away” the Pegasus began to cry at the mention of the alien’s name. “No! No, she wouldn’t!” the Alicorn tried to protest. But looking around, her friends’ all waking up, she knew it was all true. “What is she going to do to her?” Fluttershy asked. “I don’t know. But we’re going to stop her” Twilight assured the mare. “You’ll see, you’re gonna get your friend back” ________________________________________ “Please! Why are you doing this?!” Bunny shrieked as Princess Celestia levitated her to the front of the throne. “You, small creature, are part of a race more powerful than any other thing or spell ever existed, and therefore, must be dealt with” “That’s not entirely true; I’m strong, yes. But I’m still inferior to the Most High. He made me, it’s he that from which I was reborn and serve” “Most High? I’m the most powerful one in this world. And when I eradicate you, I will have no rivalry” “Just because I’m slightly stronger, that doesn’t mean you should try to take me. He wouldn’t like that” “Like that? If that thing is real, why won’t he save you now?” “He’s not a thing! He’s the Lord, our God” “God? I am now God!” “Your arrogance will be the end of you” “Really? Then, let’s get on with this!” Celestia began to choke the alien, but no effect. She was gonna try a more different spell, but then her levitation stopped. Bunny plopped on the floor, she inhaled and her eyes turned completely white. She began to chant, but this time it was a Vision. “Comprimi animo , ab infante usque Servant. Si negat indulgendi Gene” Bunny snapped out of it, the Princess was still not impressed. “Celestia, I’m warning you: If you don’t stop, it will trigger the Servant Gene and make me attack. It won’t end well” Bunny was shaky. She knew the Servant Gene was powerful, indeed. It is the one thing every Servant has. Once it's triggered, the Servant will lose control of their own mind and do the task they were told to. “I’d take my chances” Celestia glared. “Stop!” a few voices yelled. Both turned around, that was when they saw them. Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash were there. Behind them was Princess Luna. “Sister? Why aren’t you outside, watching over night?” “I asked Princess Cadence to do so for tonight. Dear sister, I’m asking you to please, let her go. Just let her roam freely. Please, sister” “I know why you ask for her to be spared, Luna. You believe she might be the one who could give you back your dear yet dead friend Snowdrop” “It’s not just about Snowdrop! I want to learn about her; I want that she may stay here to fulfill her task. Please, sister” “NO! I’M THE QUEEN! I WILL NOT HAVE A STRONGER CREATURE LIVE!” Declaring so, she used her magic to send off all 7 of them to the sidelines, each tied up, unable to move, fly, or even use magic. Celestia charged up her horn, she aimed at Bunny, and began shooting. The little alien kept dodging every shot, but she was on the verge of being controlled by the Servant Gene. Finally, she got hit, and fell to the floor with a thud. “BUNNY, NO!” Fluttershy screamed. Celestia flew to the creature; she watched the alien gasp for air. No doubt, she was already afraid. Bunny thought it was over, but that’s when He came. “Now, child” His voice was heard throughout the hall. All ponies were shocked at the sound, even Celestia. Bunny saw a light that came upon her, when it was gone, her fear was gone. “I tried to warn you” Bunny spoke. “Won’t matter, freak!” Celestia gathered all her magic in one aura. Bunny gathered all her strength, causing Nature, Water, Fire, Earth, Lightning, and Air to glow out of their spots. This move was quite painful enough to almost double-out a young Servant with releasing all that power all at once, but she had to do it. Celestia angrily let out her attack, Bunny shed a small tear while letting out her natural ability. The auras of both were pushing against each other. Celestia at first had the upper hoof. But then, Bunny’s necklace began to glow as well, making her aura not only get stronger but was already rapidly moving to Celestia. The Alicorn struggled hard, but in the end, only saw the bright light. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” A bright light blinded everypony then stopped. The 7 looked around, their magic bonds were broken. There was a dark smoke, making them unable to see what was around. When it cleared up, all they saw were Celestia on the floor, unconscious. Bunny slightly levitated, only to drop to the floor unconscious as well. Her spots and necklace stopped glowing, meaning the battle is over. But who won? “Bunny! Celestia!” they cried out. Fluttershy hurried to her alien friend’s side, the others followed her. She held Bunny, her head just dropped to the side. “Bunny? Bunny?! No, wake up!” Fluttershy tried to wake her. She remembered that since she helped her save her animals, that meant her task here was complete. But she didn't want her to go, not yet. She then remembered her prayer, that was how she found her. It was worth a shot. She looked up to where the light came from earlier. She prayed, “My Lord, I know you only sent one from the race of Servants to help me. But please, don’t tell me it was until it was complete. Please, I beg” Her prayer was heard, He gave her another miracle. Bunny’s necklace began to glow again, and then stopped. She opened her eyes, “Fluttershy?” “Bunny, you’re awake!” the mare hugged her friend tight. “I told you, if you pray and believe in God, He will help you” Celestia woke up, shaking from the effects. There was another blinding light, this time, there was a figure. It looked like a human child, but he was dressed in white and had the wings of an Angel. “Nathaniel!” Bunny cried. “Bunny, you know this one?!” Celestia asked, trembling from fear. The alien nodded. “He’s the Angel who turned my soul into a Servant the night I died on Earth” “You have finished your task, Bunny. It’s time to go home, are you ready?” He asked. “My angel, it’s just that…I was wondering if I may…spread the word here” “Spread His Word throughout this land? You want to stay for a while, don’t you?” Bunny nodded. “Please” “Very well, but where shall you live?” “I guess, I shall live…” “With me” Fluttershy said. “You could live with me” “With you? Oh, thank you, Fluttershy” “Very well then. I believe God will trust you with one of His Servants, Fluttershy. Take good care of her, as though she was your own” “Yes, angel” With that, the light faded again. Celestia apologized for what she said and tried to do, Bunny forgave it. The alien looked to Princess Luna. “Luna, that night when I tried to go safely, I saw someone who stopped the spell blast. It was you, wasn’t it?” The Alicorn nodded. “Bunny, I can’t believe it! You’re staying with us!” Pinkie hugged the alien to the point strong enough to be choked, she didn’t feel any pain. “Yeah, I guess I am” Bunny smiled. The 6 mares exited the castle, Bunny right by Fluttershy. They had got a new addition to their group.
