The chains holding down Gold Sky’s anger break, allowing his anger to force his body use its full physical power even though the amount of blood running through his veins is dangerously low.

Twilight stands ready. She teleports out of his of way and reappears behind him, aims her horn at him and fires a bolt of magic. The bolt strikes him leaving behind a third degree burn but immediately the burn wound heals. Twilight sees dealing with Gold Sky will be harder than it looks especially since she came after his heart.

Octavia looks up from the floor and witnesses Gold Sky trying to fight the cloaked unicorn. “Gold Sky.” She cries out in a voice of guilty realization. After ending their marriage, pushing Gold Sky away from her when he tried to hug her, and shouting at him. He still came to protect her. She notices the arrows in his wings along with the collar of dark matter around his neck which causes her to frown. “He loves me …oh Gold Sky, you love me so much that you fight without your wings and magic. I should have kissed you before I ran out.”

Gold Sky kept charging at the cloaked unicorn but whenever he got close to he/she will just teleport, reappear somewhere else, and strike him with a hurting bolt of magic. He jumps at the cloaked unicorn but the unicorn teleports away, but this time Gold Sky predicts where that unicorn will reappear.

Twilight reappears behind Gold Sky, she prepares to fire a bolt of magic but he ducks and did a leg sweep causing her to fall down.
"I have you." Gold Sky quickly moves in to strike the unicorn.

*PING*
A force field stops his punch. He punches the force field again but his hoof just can't penetrate the field.

Twilight uses her force field to push Gold Sky away, but as soon as her horn stops glowing Gold Sky dashes at her with great speed managing to hit her in the face, Gold Sky follows up a with a hook, jab, uppercut, and lastly a powerful blow to the stomach.

Twilight painfully coughs up blood. “Even without his magic and wings he is still strong! How!? Oh yeah he is also part Earth pony. But can the love he has for Octavia also be a factor that is giving him so much strength and speed? Well at least the commandos should be on their way to subdue him.”

Twilight watches Gold Sky getting ready to hit her again but with some perfect timing she teleports out the way and good thing too because Gold Sky’s punch causes cracks to appear all over the floor.
Gold Sky spots the cloaked unicorn reappear and with great effort he jumps towards the unicorn.

With Gold Sky coming down at her so she aims and with full power fires her magic at the Alicorn.

“GOLD SKY!” Octavia shouts in fear.

The skin of the Alicorn burns away and all his feathers turn to ash. The stench of burned flesh fills the room and the motionless Alicorn falls in front of Octavia.

Octavia goes Gold Sky’s aid, but before she knew it his skin instantly heals, his coat grew back, and his feathers came back shinier than ever.
"Move." Gold Sky nudges Octavia away as he struggles but slowly got back up on all fours.

Twilight can't believe this. A blast that powerful can kill a dragon, but yet Gold Sky rapidly heals and is now standing before her like nothing happened to him.

“Why!?” Twilight yells at Gold Sky. “Why do you keep on fighting!? When you have no chance of ever defeating me, but yet you keep on going! Why Gold Sky!? Does your purpose drive you to suffer unimaginable pain so you can protect the mare who abandoned you!”

“Hmm it’s a she.”
Gold Sky with great calm picks up his left hoof.
“Octavia may of abandoned me, she can hate me and hit me all she wants but I will always love and cherish her. She is my heart, she is my pulse and I expected you to hit me with a powerful blast of magic because that is where you made a huge mistake.”

"Huh?" Twilight tilts her head in confusion for she never makes mistakes.

Gold Sky gently taps the collar of dark matter…it comes off landing on the floor creating a loud thud.

“Oh hell.” Moans Twilight.

Magic flows to Gold Sky’s horn. Gold Sky creates an aura around both wings, removing the arrows, and accelerating the healing the once shattered bones. He flaps his wings to show they're are fully healed.

“He got his magic and wings back great just plain great, gee Twilight didn’t you know powerful blasts of magic can melt the dark matter through intense heat. Where are those damn commandos! The longer I stay here the stronger he gets, because his love for Octavia is just so great.” Twilight tells herself.

Gold Sky’s horn glow. The color of his magic is grayish purple, the same color of Octavia’s eyes.

Thus horn of the cloaked Unicorn glows as well and now both ponies watch each other waiting to see who will make the first move.

Gold Sky has vast magic but he never mastered it because the last time he used his magic to a great extent he ended up killing one thousand four hundred and twelve innocent children. So throughout the years he forgets how use his magic with the exception of teleportation, levitation, and speeding up his tissue regeneration. “Whoever this unicorn is, she outclasses me by a million, no a billon in magic! It's very unwise of me to take her head on with my magic since I am no match for her but still!! I will protect Octavia no matter what I must…I MUST!”

Distraction is a key factor for offense.

“We don’t have to do this. If you leave my wife alone right now, I will not hunt you down and kill you slowly. You know I can defeat you if your magic fails.” Gold Sky speaks calmly.

The cloak unicorn simply laughs .
“Perfect.”

“Then in that ca OOOF!!” Gold Sky teleports and punches the unicorn square in the jaw while she laughed.

“Oh my Luna! I just realized I’m hitting a mare!”
But Gold Sky continues. He grabs her head and buries his knee in her face, then he let go of her and spun his body while his left wing is extended striking her with strong force causing the cloaked unicorn to be sent flying across the room. The cloaked unicorn coughs up some more blood once she hit the floor.

But Gold Sky’s blood quickly heald Twilight…again.

Twilight looks up to see Gold Sky appear before her, instantly she creates a force field to stop his powerful blows. But the field didn’t stop Gold Sky from whamming down on the field. With each powerful blow the field becomes weaker. Twilight knew she cannot keep the field up for long. Twilight quickly teleports across from Gold Sky immediately after her field collapses. "Time to do this." her horn starts to glow as it charges up with magic.

Gold Sky follows suit and his horn glows as it became charged with magic.

Both ponies fire powerful blasts of magic at one another, their magic beams collided creating a bright white center.

Gold Sky strains himself to use every bit of his energy so he can try to overcome the cloaked Unicorn.

Twilight simply concentrated to increase her magic output.

Suddenly the center of both magic blasts explode, causing Twilight and Gold Sky to be launched about. The shockwave sent Octavia crashing into the wall, her head hit the wall hard causing a break in the skin which made blood flow down her face and rendering her unconscious.

Gold Sky’s ears rang as he slowly recovers, the constant pitch didn’t keep him from scanning for that cloaked unicorn.

Twilight’s ears are also ringing as she recovers from the explosion, she didn’t anticipate that to happen at all.

“Where is that coward? Ah! There she i…” Behind the cloaked unicorn lays a motionless gray mare.

Gold Sky fears the worse; he quickly got up and slowly walks over to Octavia.

Twilight sees Gold Sky walking towards her but she notices his eyes are not focused on her but on something else.

Gold Sky drops to his knees, carefully he nuzzles Octavia on the cheek but she does not move he did it again but she still did not move. Tears form in Gold Sky’s eyes, this can’t be happening it just can’t be happening.
“Octavia.” Gold Sky calls out. “Octavia…come back. Please come back! Don’t do this me, please Octavia don’t do this to me! I'm sorry, I truly am! Come back, come back, Octavia don’t leave me! Please don’t leave me…I need you…I-I love you! Please come back! I love you, I LOVE YOU! OCTAVIA!!” Gold Sky starts to sob for the one of the things he could forever love is gone.

Twilight got up and just watches Gold Sky cry for his wife, she just sighs quietly because Octavia getting harmed to this degree was not part of her plan. Just then she heard the crying stop.

Gold Sky’s mind went into complete disarray. All his emotions became undone with the exception of Love and Anger.

There is no point in life now when pushed to the end… the Razor.

Gold Sky voices his mind. “ Lose yourself she is dead, no she’s not, yes she is, love is power, love is not power, I can’t die, she died, stop being weak, no stay who you are, Octavia is gone, love is power, love is not power, your heart should not be beating but it is, she does not want you to become like this, nothing matters anymore now, the world means nothing to me now, the world loves you, the world took away Octavia, the world nearly beat you to death, the world tortured you, the world raped you, love can help you, what is there to love now, love is powerful, you can’t die, have hope, hope is a cruel joke, she’s gone forever now, please do this for her, she’s dead, why stay weak become the monster, Octavia can’t love a monster, there is no reality, daddy does not want you to misuse his strength, lose yourself, I can’t, love is power, it’s not, you lost everything now, Octavia, SHE’S DEAD, Octavia, SHE’S DEAD, Octavia, SHE’S DEAD, Octavia, BECOME THE RAZOR TURN LOVE INTO POWER, don’t do this, you have nothing to live for anymore, Octavia is gone, your heart and your pulse no longer beats, Octavia always loved you, where is my reality, my life is meaningless, you have no purpose…” Gold Sky stops…he has no purpose. Nothing to live for, nothing to wake up to, nothing to love.

The chains shatter, all his anger became unleashed. Blackness infects the galaxy of his mind. The white light can no longer cleanse it. His wings glow, his eyes transform into turquoise color with pupils of a dragon like Nightmare Moon’s, his love for Octavia became his strength. Love isn’t just the most beautiful emotion. It is the most powerful!

And if love ever had a physical manifestation…it will be Gold Sky.

Twilight senses the terrible change in Gold Sky. “Ooooh this is not good.”

The Razor is unleashed.

***
Princess Luna and Rainbow Dash were trotting to Ponyville, until she felt something trouble her mind greatly. Something terrible is here in Equestria, something terrible as Nightmare Moon. She telepathically searches for the source of this trouble until she finally found it.

“Gold Sky…no! No! Why did you become like this! Gold Sky! You leave me no choice! I’m sorry!”

Rainbow taps Luna on the shoulder to see if she’s alright because she just stopped in her tracks, suddenly Luna’s horn glows something of which surprises Rainbow Dash.

“Delta Scorch report to the barracks and suit up THAT IS AN ORDER! Lakota squad, seek prime objective Gold Sky, mission type…search and destroy.” Luna’s heart became heavy.

***

Gold Sky got up. He turns slowly towards the cloaked unicorn who now stood frozen in place.
Twilight can't teleport, her mind begs her leave but her heart tells her to stay. She wants to bear witness to the full power of an Alicorn, especially one the without emotion and restraint.

The Razor aims his horn at the cloaked unicorn slowly his magic charges up, the end has come for the cloaked unicorn.

Without warning a collar of dark matter snaps around Gold Sky’s neck stopping the flow of magic to his horn.

Captain. Samier flew in through the hole in the wall followed by more pegasus guards and unicorn guards.

“Good throw LT. Toudou.” Cpt. Samier complemented.

Toudou looks at Gold Sky. Gold Sky's wings are glowing, his eyes are different, there stood a cloaked unicorn, but more importantly Toudou saw Octavia lying motionless on the floor. His mind connects the dots. The cloaked unicorn must of attacked Octavia… Princess Celestia’s words played back in his mind.

“THE RAZOR!” Yells Toudou.
“What?” Samier asks.

Toudou did his best to contain his rising fear. “The Razor is unleashed, s-s-somepony attacked his wife and P-Pri-Princess Celestia warned me about this! He will kill us all Samier! He will k-kill us all! We must call the Elite Commando guard!”

Samier looks at Gold Sky and then back to Toudou, he will not let his record be tarnished by this Alicorn.

“Let me see for myself.” Said Samier. Before he charges forward at Gold Sky.

***

Cpt. Flying Havoc, Sgt. Helo Fox, Corporal Iron Cloud, and lastly LT. Delta Scorch enter the armory to collect their weapons of choice. Iron Cloud grabbed his tomahawk, Flying Havoc put on a pair of horseshoes with blades inside them, Helo Fox took a spear, and Delta Scorch took two kukri knifes.

The four commandos then walk into their lockers, one by one the doors open. Delta Scorch’s and Helo Fox’s horns glow in putting on the silver armor. Flying Havoc and Iron Cloud help each other suit up since it’s a little difficult for both them.

Once armored up all four commandos take a shot of sake before departing. Delta Scorch thought of Cloud Kicker before drinking his shot.

“Be careful Delta Scorch, please.” Delta Scorch hears Luna’s voice talking to him telepathically.

Flying Havoc took a deep breath to say a few words.
“Commandos we have our orders, we don’t know what we’ll up against but we must find it and kill it! All of you be careful… we are Lakota squad…we are all brothers. NOW MOVE OUT!”

***

Samier flew at full speed towards Gold Sky.

Gold Sky got up on his hind legs, with timed precision he blocks Samir’s punch and gave the Pegasus one of his own to the stomach.
Samier’s wings stop flapping. He falls to the ground, his breathing turns into loud rapid wheezing. Samier vomits large quantities of blood before being struck in the head by Gold Sky, putting him out of action.

“Stay away from her!” Growls Gold Sky.

Sgt. Tecumseh fires a bolt of magic at Gold Sky something of which made Gold Sky focus on him.
Gold Sky dashes towards the unicorn while dodging every bolt of magic, Gold Sky slams the unicorn to ground and struck Tecumseh’s horn with such great force he tore off from the head.

Tecumseh roars in pain, another guard out of action. LT. Toudou rushes to the aid of the severely wounded unicorn. Toudou quickly took out a small pre packed dose of Morphine and injects into Tecumseh so he can bandage the wound.

The Pegasus guards bravely flew in to engage Gold Sky and all together they face the might of the fallen Alicorn.

Twilight just stood there watching the battle occurring before her eyes, she could not believe how Gold Sky used his wings to fight the pegasus guards, strike one guard in front of him with his hoof while using his wing to hit another on his left side. Such aerial agility… "Ow..." something hit Twilight.

“What was that? Oh my Celestia!!” A torn off bloody wing is the thing that hit her.

Twilight watches in horror as Gold Sky bit down on the second wing and tears it off from the pegasus guard. Gold Sky spat out the wing then licks the blood from his lips before going after the next guard.

Twilight had enough this. *Poof* Twilight reappears back in the library, she walks upstairs to her bathroom. Twilight’s horn glow turning on the shower she proceeds in without taking off her cloak and just sat in the tub letting the warm water wash away her worries. “I went too far this time…I’m sorry Gold Sky.”

“NO PLEASE! NO!” Begs a guard before Gold Sky slams his hoof into the guard’s chest shattering his ribcage.

Toudou froze upon hearing the sound of bones shattering. His mind can't absorb the onslaught of this once gentle alicorn, maiming every pegasus guard by ripping off their wings, crushing their wing bones, and breaking their backs.

“NOOOOOO!” Gold Sky crushes the wings of an unlucky guard.

Suddenly magical ropes grab Gold Sky’s wings and pull him down to the ground.
Many Unicorn guards charge forward with their horns glowing, each trying to hold down Gold Sky. But Gold Sky grabs their magical ropes and pulled the some guards towards him. One of the pulled in guards musters up all his magic. He fires his magic point blank at Gold Sky. But it did nothing.
Gold Sky buries his hoof into the face of the brave guard, sending him flying across the room.

“All of you are lining up to die!!” Gold Sky yells.

One by one each guard fell. No matter how many times they shoot Gold Sky with their magic his body rapidly healed it, he used their magical ropes against them by pulling them in towards him. He tore off their horns with his bare teeth or broke them in half by hitting them.

Gold Sky had his hoof raised at a guard. The golden armored guard instinctively begged for his life. “Please I have a family!” Gold Sky’s hoof stops in mid swing and gets close to the guard to give him one warning.
“Run!”

The guard obeys and runs away.

Toudou still watches Gold Sky defeat more guards; he ignores their cries, rips out their horns, and even used a horn of one guard to stab another.

Gold Sky finishes off the last guard. All around him lay fallen guards. Gold Sky spots Toudou who is still by Tecumseh’s side.

The fallen Alicorn approaches Toudou with such deadly silence.
Causing Toudou to trembles while his eyes fill with tears. The Alicorn stands inches away from LT. Toudou.

Toudou closes his eyes so he would not see his death coming. But the kindness he showed to Gold Sky, came back to save him.

“Leave…I will not harm you. Leave now.” Gold Sky turns his back to Toudou.

*Crash*
Flying Havoc broke through the roof.
*Poof*
Delta Scorch teleports next to Flying Havoc.
*Crash*
Iron Cloud also broke through the roof.
*Knocking*
Helo Fox waits outside for somepony to open the door.

“Oh you got to be kidding me!” Delta Scorch said before opening the door for Helo Fox. “Now is not the time to be screwing around!”

“Hey I always wanted to do that!”

“Commandos…!” Toudou breathes out.

Gold Sky spots the four ponies in silver armor. His rationale automatically interpreted them as a threat to Octavia.
Flying Havoc gasps at seeing the many Royal guards lying on the floor, so many torn off wings, unicorn guards without their horns, hell there's s even one unicorn who has horn stuck in his chest.

Gold Sky charges at the commandos all four of them jump out the way, and took up combat position where they will utilize their speed, agility, strength, and teamwork.

The four of them circle around Gold Sky, each of them had to use great effort to dodge his hoofs and his wings.

“Incredible in how he uses his wings in close quarter combat.” Iron Cloud exclaims.

“Yeah I know, I wonder who taught him that.” Flying Havoc yell after avoiding a wing swipe from Gold Sky.

An idea came to Flying Havoc. “Iron Cloud time for fly n stab!”
Delta Scorch and Helo Fox got out of the way, Iron Cloud dashes quickly at Gold Sky while staying close to the ground. Then he swoops up hitting Gold Sky hard on the chin, giving Flying Havoc the perfect opportunity to charge at Gold Sky and stab him in the side with one of his horseshoe blades. "Got him!" Flying Havoc cheers in delight.

But in a sudden turn of events Gold Sky grabs Flying Havoc’s hoof so he can’t escape and mercilessly he head butts the commando twice and gave him a powerful uppercut. While the stab wound heals instantly.

“Ow…great he can heal. This will make our mission a tad more difficult.”

Helo Fox with his spear engages Gold Sky. This is the first time Helo faces somepony who can fight him on even ground, only once he managed to scratch Gold Sky but the cut healed much to Helo’s disappointment. But with some quick timing Helo swipes the spear underneath Gold Sky, causing him to fall on his back. Helo Fox goes for the heart but Gold Sky uses his left wing as a shield to block the shiny spearhead then Gold Sky flaps his right wing at Helo Fox.

Helo drops the spear to block the wing which is what Gold Sky planned on. So seizing the golden opportunity to kick Helo Fox away with his hind legs while Helo yelps in pain.

Gold Sky gets back up.

Iron Cloud rams the Alicorn over to Flying Havoc who bucks Gold Sky into the air, Delta Scorch teleports above Gold Sky and with a powerful bolt of magic he blasts Gold Sky towards the ground where Helo Fox too fires a bolt of magic launching Gold Sky into the upstairs room.
“Good job commandos. That should stop him, now who wants to go and finish him off?” Flying Havoc asks.

Helo Fox volunteers so he took his sweet time walking up the stairs.

Gold Sky groans while getting back up on all fours, he notices something sparkle in the corner of the room. Gold Sky walks over to see what it is and sure enough they are his silver horseshoes, he places his hoof in one of them but the horseshoes is too small.
“Oh my dear Octavia trying on my armor were you now.” After a few seconds the horseshoes enlarged to fit around his hoofs, Gold Sky slips on the last horseshoe the moment Helo Fox enters the room.

Down below. “Do you think he killed the target yet?” Iron Cloud asks.

Suddenly sounds of magic blasts and fighting can be heard above.
“I think that should answer your question Iron Cloud. WOHA!”

A blast of magic sent Gold Sky crashing down below. Flying Havoc quickly flew into Gold Sky and kicks him in the head as hard as he can.

Gold Sky spat out a tooth and a new one immediately grew its place.

“Four against one, I-I like it when the odds are stacked against me. I WILL TAKE YOU ALL ON!” Gold Sky extends the blades from his horseshoes. He charges forward toward Lakota squad.

Iron Cloud took hold of his tomahawk, Delta’s horn glowed magically levitating his kukri knifes in front him, Helo got his spear back, and Flying Havoc extended the blades in his horseshoes.

Iron Cloud barely managed to block Gold Sky’s blades with his tomahawk, Delta came to his aid by direrectly engaging Gold Sky in combat. The sound of metal striking metal filled echoed throughout the house. Gold Sky pushes Delta away he quickly ducks avoiding a flyby from Flying Havoc. Gold Sky reengages Delta.

Delta had to move fast, the blades from Gold Sky’s horseshoes were not the only problem, he also had to avoid the gold feathered wings so he wouldn’t lose his balance. Soon both the blades and kukri knifes became locked within each other. Gold Sky picks up the sound of Iron Cloud’s wings flapping, so he head butts Delta and did a back flip to avoid the tomahawk.

"Hmmm." Gold Sky flies after Iron Cloud.
Iron Cloud quickly turns around and threw the tomahawk at Gold Sky. "Huh!!?" The tomahawk buried itself deep into Gold Sky’s shoulder. But Gold Sky bit hold of the tomahawk and took it out from his shoulder so the wound can heal.

Iron Cloud gasps in disbelief. Next thing he knew Gold Sky tackles him and brought him down to the ground. Gold Sky remove the helmet and punches Iron Cloud with a powerful blow. Gold Sky finishes off Iron Cloud by slamming the Pegasus's head hard into the ground knocking him out.

Helo Fox came after Gold Sky but he didn't see a horn on the ground, he slips on the horn and fell forward allowing Gold Sky to hit the unicorn with his wing.

Delta Scorch teleports in front of Gold Sky with his knifes ready, but Gold Sky spat at into Delta's eyes causing him to drop the knifes so he can wipe his eyes clean of the saliva.

Gold Sky punches Delta with a strong hook, followed it up with a jab to the face forcing Delta to fall on his back. Now ready to deliver the finishing blow Gold Sky extends the blade on his right hoof.

Delta starts to think of Cloud Kicker... Gold Sky raises his hoof into striking position to kill the commando.

Delta begs for his life. "NO PLEASE I JUST FELL IN LOVE! PLEASE!" Once done with his begging he closes his eyes.

Nothing happened, he opens his eyes...the blade is only millimeters away from his eye.

Gold Sky retracts the blade back into his horseshoe and gave Delta one warning.

"Go to her...I will not harm you."

Delta Scorch just froze in place for death almost came to him.

Gold Sky's ear twitches. He quickly turns around, using all his might he swung his hoof down on Flying Havoc slamming the captain into the floor. Gold Sky turns Flying Havoc over and stomps his hoof onto his stomach forcing some blood to fly about.

One drop lands on Octavia's cheek causing her to stir...

Gold Sky once again extends the blade from his right horseshoe and with his left hoof he presses down on Havoc's windpipe to prevent sudden movements.

Octavia opens her eyes.

"Without the leader a squad cannot function." Gold Sky speaks without any emotion.

Gold Sky slowly raises his hoof.

Octavia catches eye of Gold Sky.

The fallen Alicorn launches his hoof down. "GOLD SKY!" Octavia shouts.

The blade stops...the core in the galaxy of Gold Sky's mind went supernova cleansing the blackness , his wings stop glowing, and his eyes turn back to their normal teal.

Gold Sky got off of Flying Havoc and turns to the source of that voice. Behind him stood his heart and his pulse.
His purpose, the meaning of living, the love of his live is alive.

"Octavia! Please don't do that again! I love you so much! Please don't leave me! I love you!"

Octavia ran into Gold Sky's arms. Gold Sky hugs her tight for the Razor has vanished... Octavia kisses Gold Sky while he closes his eyes to relish this, Octavia is with him now. His eyes are now opened, he cannot allow himself to be executed for a crime he didn't comment, its a shame that Octavia nearly died so his eyes can be opened but now he will not leave her no matter what.

Gold Sky wraps his wings around Octavia and hugs her.

"Gold Sky I won't leave you, I'm sorry, I love you with all my heart."

Flying Havoc gets back up. He still has orders to follow, he grabbed Helo Fox's spear...

Octavia opens her eyes to see Flying Havoc coming at Gold Sky's back with a spear.

"NO WAIT!!" Screams Octavia.

Gold Sky lets out a sharp groan...he looks down to see the spear protruding through the left side of his chest where his heart is.

Flying Havoc twists the spear before finally taking it out.

"No..." Gold Sky falls from Octavia's arms.

***

*TING*
Princess Celestia feels a massive shock wave run down her spine. and felt her connection to Gold Sky becoming weaker.

"GOLD SKY!" Celestia flies out of the palace.

Luna feels the same sensation.
"I'm sorry Octavia but he left me no choice."

***

Toudou quickly came to Gold Sky's aid with his medic bad.

"Please do something! Save him!" Octavia painfully begs.

"I-I can't....h-he lost too much blood. I don't think he can heal himself from this wound."

Octavia eyes starts to widen with fear.

Gold Sky lifts his hoof to Octavia's cheek.
"I-I-I'm sorry. I truly am." Gold Sky speaks weakly.

Octavia took Gold Sky into her arms.
"No don't talk like that Gold Sky, just hang in there please hang in there! Your body can heal this wound!"

"Octavia please don't leave me, please stay with me! I'm sorry. I-I should of listened to you and went with you."

Tears fall from Octavia's eyes. "I'm right here I won't leave you... Gold Sky please don't go. I love so much! Gold Sky don't leave me!"

Tears form in Gold Sky's eyes too.
"Octavia this is all my fault, it just is! I never thought I'll die in your arms. I'm sorry..."

"Gold Sky please don't, just don't...we're going to get through this. I-I'm going to teach you how to play the cello, remember you said that wanted to play songs with me. We'll going to see Cloudsdale together, play a duet together on stage a-a-and fly together." Octavia can only hold Gold Sky.

"Octavia I-I'm cold...I feel so cold...I always told myself how blessed I am to be with you. To love you, hold you, kiss you, I love you so much Oc-Oc-Octavia. You're so beautiful..." Gold Sky's breathing became sporadic as he triew to speak.

Octavia brought Gold Sky closer to her body so her warmth can comfort him.

Princess Celestia arrives.

"Gold Sky!" She cries out as she approaches Octavia who held the dying Alicorn in her arms.

"Gold Sky it will be alright you will live through this, c'mon you been through so much that you can't just die right now." Celesta reassures.

"Celli... I'm cold...Octavia I love you...have I t-told y-you that already?"

Octavia only nods.

Suddenly Gold Sky just stares into Octavia's eyes.

"Whats going on!?" Octavia frantically asks.

Celestia dreaded this phase. She knew once a pony enters this phase there is no hope.
"He is seeing what his life could of been...let me show you." Celestia's horn glows as she connects Octavia's mind to Gold Sky's.

***

Octavia with her cello slung on her back got home from a performance.

"Gold Sky I'm back!" She happily beams.

No response.

Octavia cautiously went upstairs. "Gold Sky are you there?"

Still no response, Octavia pokes her head inside a room that has a pink door. Gold Sky is there laying on the bed with his left wing covering something.

"Oh there you ar..."

"Shh! She's asleep." He lifts up his wing to reveal a sleeping pegasus filly. Octavia smiles and quietly came over to nuzzle her daughter then Gold Sky and Octavia rub heads.

"You love being a father don't you Gold Sky?"

"Actually I prefer the term daddy. But yes I love being a daddy, we have a daughter Octavia! We've been blessed and we're parents!! I love you Octavia with all my heart."

***

Gold Sky's mind shifted to a new possibility.

Gold Sky with his daughter sat on top of a cloud. The young pegasus filly nervously looks down from the edge of the cloud.

"Uhh daddy, I don't think I'm ready to start flying."

Gold Sky smiles at his daughter and nuzzles her on the head.

"Its alright Tavi, I will be right here watching you. I will not be asking you to fly if I didn't think you were ready would I now." Gold Sky lovingly assures Tavi.

So Tavi stands at the edge of the cloud, she flaps her wings a couple of times to get the blood flowing but her nervousness still keeps her worried. Gold Sky came and stood by Tavi.

"Tavi clear your mind, don't think but feel. Let your instincts guide you just like I've been guiding you. I'm right here, let the wind flow through your wings. You can do this."

The young filly took a deep breath. She jumps off the cloud and started to flap, but instead she went into free fall. Tavi instantly panics she tries flapping her wings but they would not respond. Gold Sky immediately jumps from the cloud to save Tavi, as he got close she motions him not to catch her. Tavi closes her eyes. She clears her mind and starts to feel the wind flow through her wings.

Tavi opens her eyes and flaps her wings. "Daddy! Ha hahah hahah I'm doing it! I can fly!! I can fly!!" Tavi yells in full joy.

Octavia sees Tavi flying. "Mommy look! I'm flying, I'm flying! Yeah!"

Octavia smiles at her. "That's awesome sweetheart!"

Tavi saw Gold Sky hovering near by so she flew into him giving Gold Sky a strong hug.

***

"So..." Gold Sky asks. "I'm holding the bow correctly right?"

Octavia adjusts the bow. "Now you are. Ok Gold Sky do you remember the small sonata we practiced?"

Gold Sky nods.

"Good, good. Oh, Tavi please come down here and watch daddy play some great music he learned from me a musical legend, he-he sorry but I couldn't resist."

The young filly came down and sat in front of her parents while she notices many beads of sweat running down daddy's forehead.

Octavia counts off.

Both the Earth Pony and Alicorn start playing. Tavi watches in awe at the beautiful display happening before her, this is the first time she hears two cellos playing a duet together.

Gold Sky's mind tells him each angle to move the bow at, the amount of strength that should be applied to the strings, and lastly his speed.

The sonata ends. Octavia carefully places her cello on the floor. "Well Gold Sky..." Octavia coolly said in a manner that made Gold Sky think he did terrible.

"You did admirable!! Completely flawless! Come here!" Octavia jumps on Gold Sky taking him into a tight embrace, Tavi also joins in.

***

Gold Sky puts down the book he borrowed from Twilight, he re-read the magical wing spell many times to make sure he'll cast it perfectly.

"Gold Sky are ready to give me wings?"

Gold Sky frowns.
"Whats wrong?" Octavia asks.

"This the first time in a long time that I use my magic to a great extent. I don't know if I should."

Octavia came over to place a hoof on his shoulders. "Gold Sky you didn't know, it's not your fault. You forgiven yourself long time ago, please Gold Sky know they are all in the heavenly paradise."

Gold Sky meekly smiles at Octavia, how lucky he is to have such a lovely understanding wife. His horn glows and with great effort he magically gave Octavia a pair of wings.

She looks at the wings and flaps them.
"You ready?" She asks.

Gold Sky flaps his wings in response. Both husband and wife flew into the night sky. They danced together in the sky. They circled each other and hover in front of each other to look into each other's eyes.

In front of the shining full moon they wrap their wings around one and other and kiss.

***

Princess Celestia and Octavia leave Gold Sky's mind.

"Oc-Oc-Octavia..." Gold Sky calls out weakly.

"Yes my dear love."

"I hope my l-love for you can bring me b-back, let m-m-my stre-strength be your own Octavia." Gold Sky now breathes slower now. "Forgive me, please f-for-for-forgive me. I l-lov-lov-love you. Octavia you are my heart...you are my pulse...I love..." The light slowly fades from Gold Sky's eyes.

"Come its time." The Archangel which is an Alicorn with red hair and mane takes Gold Sky's spirit to the other side.

Gold Sky's hoof falls to the ground.

"Gold Sky...! Gold Sky! Don't leave me...don't leave me! GOLD SKY!! GOLD SKY! COME BACK!!" Octavia hugs Gold Sky tight.

His eyes close and Princess Celestia frowns to witness the death of one from her Immortal race.

"I love you, I love you Gold Sky! Please! Please! Don't leave!!" Octavia sobs.

Gold Sky's body began to glows. "HUH WHAT!!?" Hopes develops inside Octavia's soul...but his body disappears from her arms, leaving behind his wedding band that he always wore around his horn.

"Gold Sky...my husband..." Octavia shakes uncontrollably, Gold Sky is gone...she takes hold his wedding band.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Her roar is strong and writhed with pain...

For

Her heart and her pulse is forever gone.
